Treatment Plant Design

Engineering Consultancy

Simmonds & Bristow's in-house engineering team offers complete treatment plant design services to our clients. 

Initially an easily understood conceptual design report is developed to assist you to understand the individual elements of the plant and how they contribute to the production of high quality effluent or product water.

Technical specifications are developed around comprehensive drawings.  This reduces the size of the specification document and ensures that contractors and builders construct what is intended and required, without being confused or frustrated by a complicated specification.

Our process designs are developed with the operator in mind at all times.  We ensure that the little things such as good process control data, plenty of hose points and good service access are provided so that the plant is easy to operate and maintain.

Our process design team has developed a wide range of different processes for organisations such as:

  • Erup Island Community (Torres Strait)
    Greenfield design of sewage treatment plant with ocean outfall, 160m3/day capacity.
  • Wujal Wujal Community
    Sewage Treatment Plant incorporating flow balancing, primary and secondary sedimentation, fixed film oxidation and nitrogen removal, chemical phosphorus removal and dual disinfection.
  • Australian Federal Police Training Centre
    Sewage Treatment Plant upgrade to enable boilogical nitrogen removal, advanced filtration and dual disinfection with effluent irrigation and non-potable reuse.
  • Richmond Waste Grease Trap
    Treatment Plant upgrade to optimise treatment and reduce environmental emissions.
  • Port Hinchinbrook - activated sludge nutrient removal sewage treatment plant.
  • Longreach Shire Council - coagulation and filtration water treatment plant.
  • Blackbutt Shire Council - plant upgrade to activated sludge nutrient removal sewage treatment plant.

Simmonds & Bristow provide process designs for a wide range of applications and community types. 

We have expertise in:
