Trade Waste Plant Upgrade at Century Yuasa Batteries, Carole Park
Century Yuasa Batteries (CYB) needed to upgrade its Carole Park trade waste plant to meet stringent discharge requirements and remove dissolved contaminants. This was Hydroflux’s second project with CYB, following an earlier 2023 upgrade.
Hydroflux supplied a HyPURE® filtration system incorporating:
- Multimedia filtration vessels
- Activated carbon filtration
- Ion exchange with selected resin
- Automated backwash tank for optimal performance
The system was integrated with the existing plant, enabling seamless joint operation.
Hydroflux worked closely with CYB to design, install, and stage the upgrade to minimise disruption while enhancing overall capacity.
The Results
- Achieved and consistently exceeded consent limits
- Greater than 98% contaminant removal
- Reliable performance with automated backwashing
A spokesperson from the Carole Park site stated: “The filtration system that Hydroflux installed exceeded our expectations of the amount of removal it was able to achieve, and we are pleased with the results that it is consistently meeting the limits that we need.”
Proven Performance
The project highlights Hydroflux’s ability to integrate advanced filtration into existing plants, ensuring compliance and reliability.
