+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Environmental Solutions International (ESI) has been awarded the
contract for the process design, equipment supply and commissioning
of a new wastewater treatment facility for Port Pirie in South
Australia. The contract, awarded by SA Water, is valued at
approximately $2.2 million.

The new plant, located approximately 200km north of Adelaide on the
Spencer Gulf presents some particularly demanding challenges due to a
number of unique environmental conditions existing at the site.

Managing Director, Denis Glennon AO, said: "The Port Pirie sewerage
system is subject to high levels of groundwater infiltration, with
salinity levels in the incoming sewage as high as 24,000 mg/l.
Long-term optimum performance of a new facility in such environmental
conditions necessitates the use of the most resilient materials
economically available, as well as having superior biological
treatment systems and operating and maintenance systems."

"The unusually high salinity levels in the wastewater stream demand
particular process design skills and experience. In this regard ESI
is fortunate in having such expertise in-house as well as being able
to call on reliable data from the successful treatment of such waste
streams in facilities on Rottnest Island, Western Australia and at
Port Douglas. The latter plant which is currently operated by ESI,
was specifically designed by ESI to treat saline wastes from large
vessels operating to/from the Great Barrier Reef where the dumping of
sewage is prohibited."

"The award of the Port Pirie contract to ESI recognises the company's
ability to arrive at the best value for money solutions for clients.
This project is also strategically important, as it is ESI's first
contract in South Australia. A successful outcome at Port Pirie will
assist ESI's long-term focus on water and wastewater activities in
South Australia, as we are shortlisted for other projects in this
State."
