MULTIROCK installation at Sabi Sand Reserve, South Africa


The client is a luxury safari lodge operator with operations across the world. They are well known in Southern Africa for their prestigious lodges.

 

  • This installation serves both their existing camp, as well as a new camp being constructed close by. The new camp will be ultra modern and luxurious, while the current camp is a more colonial and classic lodge. When complete, the system will cater for 154 people from both lodges.
  • The sewage is collected in septic tanks at each of the guest suites, kitchen, laundry, and staff accommodations, and the supernatant from each septic tank is pumped to the plant.
  • The plant is a Multirock-180, installed above-ground. The installation comprises two parallel treatment units each being a Multirock-90.
  • The pumped sewage from the septic tanks are received in (for each Multirock-90) 2 x 10,000lt above-ground primary tanks, followed by a FCC, SB and then 3x Ecorock-5000’s. The Primary tanks have effluent filters and are independently.
  • The 6x Ecorock-5000’s were braced with a custom-manufactured bracing frame and the entire installation will be covered with a roof in due course.
  • The outflow from the Ecorock’s are collected in a subsurface collection tank where it is chlorinated with chlorine tablets, and from there pumped back up to the lodge for irrigation of the lawns.
  • The estimated water savings, by recycling and reusing their wastewater for irrigation, is some 10-million litres per year.
  • The installation was completed and commissioned in July 2018.
