Transforming Wastewater into a Sustainable Resource: The Woodman Point WRRF Upgrade

by

Evo Energy Technologies is proud to be part of a groundbreaking project at the Woodman Point Wastewater Recovery and Reuse Facility (WRRF), Western Australia’s largest treatment plant. This $238.5 million upgrade aims to significantly enhance the facility’s sludge treatment capacity and efficiency. By integrating advanced technologies such as thermal hydrolysis pre-treatment and anaerobic digestion processes, the facility will produce nearly 50% of its energy on-site, effectively reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 5,600 tonnes of CO2 annually.

A key component of this upgrade is the installation of three 2G Avus 1500b 1.5MWe units, which will be complemented by a comprehensive suite of energy recovery equipment. This includes biogas blower packages, C-Nox biogas flare, double membrane biogas holders, and an advanced gas treatment package. The CHP container design ensures efficient on-site assembly and immediate operational readiness, minimising risks and installation time. Inspired by successful implementations at Southern Meats in Goulburn and Kilcoy Meats, the gas treatment solution will feature enhanced control and monitoring systems, integrating Siemens HMI, biogas blowers, and flowmeters.

Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment

Evo Energy Technologies’ involvement in the Woodman Point WRRF project underscores our commitment to sustainability and technological innovation. The TS Biological Desulphurisation system, a critical part of the project, offers a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to chemical scrubbers. This system, alongside other cutting-edge technologies, aligns with our mission to provide sustainable and efficient energy solutions.

The Woodman Point WRRF upgrade is poised to set new benchmarks in wastewater treatment and energy recovery. By enhancing operational efficiency and environmental sustainability, this project not only meets the current demands but also ensures the facility’s capability to handle future requirements until 2040. Evo Energy Technologies is proud to contribute to this transformative initiative, ensuring a greener future for Western Australia.

CO2 Recovery & Environmental Impact: A Game Changer in Australia’s Energy Sector

by

A Glimpse into Australia’s Energy Sector Advancements

Welcome to our latest edition of the Energy Update, focusing on key developments in Australia’s energy sector over the past few months, particularly in the areas of biogas, biomethane, and CO2 recovery. These sectors are crucial for advancing Australia’s sustainable energy goals.

Biogas & Biomethane News

Innovations

The biogas industry in Australia has been gaining momentum, with methanogens harnessed for producing biogas, a mixed gas mainly composed of methane, CO2, and hydrogen sulphide. Biogas is converted into biomethane through a cleaning and upgrading process. Biogas plants, crucial to the green energy mix, process waste organic matter to produce these gases. The combustion of biogas and biomethane, similar in function to natural gas, releases energy while being carbon-neutral, as the CO2 released is part of the existing biosphere​​.[1]

Market Trends

The Australian biogas industry is poised for growth. In 2021, the first large-scale biogas plant was announced in Nowra, NSW. According to the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), Australia’s total estimated biogas potential is 103 terawatt hours, comparable to countries like Germany. This growth is significant as Australia, currently facing an energy crisis, sees a push from business and industry leaders for a transition to alternatives like biogas​​​​.

CO2 Recovery & Environmental Impact

Technological Breakthroughs

Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) is being pursued in Australia as a key solution for CO2 emission reduction. This technology captures and stores or utilises CO2, reducing the amount currently in, or being released into, the atmosphere. CCUS, especially when combined with direct air capture, can remove CO2 from the atmosphere, playing a vital role in emission reduction strategies​​​​​​.[2]

Environmental Benefits

CCUS is a proven technology crucial for industries that inherently produce CO2 in their production processes, such as cement, steel, and aluminium. Captured CO2 can be utilised to create low-emission products, offering a net-zero-compatible economic opportunity for Australia. Although the current market size for CO2 utilisation is not large enough for global climate mitigation, it presents a viable economic opportunity within Australia​​​​​​.[2]

Conclusion

The past few months have witnessed significant advancements in biogas, biomethane, and CO2 recovery technologies in Australia. These developments are instrumental in Australia’s pursuit of sustainable energy solutions and achieving its climate goals.

Stay updated with the latest developments in sustainable energy technologies in Australia. For more information and solutions in these sectors, engage with Evo Energy Technologies.
