The value of this work to CNQ is around A$10 million and includes a provision to increase the capacity of the WTF to 20 MLD and to further upgrade the treatment technology to reach higher quality effluent.
The head contractor is AGC, which received the order from Townsville City Council.
Investors have responded positively to the new order, sending shares as much as 30.13% higher to A$0.54.
CNQ responsibilities
CNQ will be responsible for providing the process design, delivery, installation and commissioning of the equipment treating the water to Class A for reuse in industry and irrigation.
The use of Class A water for irrigation reduces the demand for potable water as part of TCC’s integrated water strategy.
Clean TeQ Water has now started preliminary design as the order specifies the price, scope and schedule of the project with a delivery date of the equipment set for Q3 of 2023.
Contracts will be finalised and signed with its civil partner before August 15 2022.
Clean TeQ Water CEO Willem Vriesendorp said, “We are delighted to support this project and Townsville on implementing its planned recycling facility.
"The size and scope of this project signify a major milestone for Clean TeQ Water and further establish Clean TeQ Water as a technology supplier of choice for advanced water treatment and recycling in Australia.”
