Emergency water supply for a mine power station
- Project scope: Standby ion exchange vessels set up on site to keep demineralised water available to the power station.
- Result: Demineralised water on hand to prevent downtime if the main supply is interrupted.
July 2026
Heat exchanger rebuilds
- Project scope: Replacement plates and gaskets sourced and freighted to a mine site, with expert supervision of two heat exchanger rebuilds.
- Result: Both heat exchangers have operated with no issues since.
Nov 2025
Ultrafiltration membrane replacement at a refinery
- Project scope: 18 Eureka UF modules, interchangeable with the original OEM modules, supplied as pre-treatment ahead of reverse osmosis.
