Clearmake Electropure - Case Study Summaries

Amcor was struggling with the wash down water from the cardboard manufacturing equipment at its Enmore plant in Sydney. The water contained substantial quantities of grease, glue and ink, which meant it had to be tankered offsite as liquid waste - an expensive solution.

A Clearmake Electropure system was installed, which treats volumes of up to 300 litres per day for sewer discharge, reducing wastewater disposal costs by more than 90 per cent.

“The unit requires only approximately 15 minutes of maintenance per week and has paid for itself in around six months”.

Randwick Council in Sydney used  wash down water for cleaning garbage trucks, street sweepers, beach cleaners and other Council vehicles. Because of the high pathogen cell counts (faecal coliforms of 210,000 cells/100ml) in the waste water it could not safely be discharged to the sewer system.

A Clearmake system manages up to 4kL a day, costs a little over $1 per kL to operate, and by enabling recycling has cut its use of potable water by 80 per cent.  An additional benefit is Council doesn’t have the additional employment hassle and expense of a traditional wastewater treatment plant, reducing maintenance hours from 38 to about 1 hour a week.

The Yarraby Caravan Park in Echuca, Victoria installed 4 units in parallel to clean river water for drinking, cooking and bathing. Capacity can be adjusted to suit guest numbers simply by turning units on or off, and it costs less than 40c per kL to run.
