Containerised Water Treatment Plant | Ghana

PROJECT SUMMARY

Greenchain Group was appointed by AECI Water to manufacture a containerised water treatment plant for deployment at a mining operation in Ghana. Working to a detailed process design and strict project timeline, Greenchain Group provided engineering support, manufacturing expertise and project management to deliver a robust, turnkey solution.

Designed to provide a reliable supply of treated water for site operations, the system combines automated treatment processes with a containerised design that simplifies deployment in remote mining environments. The project demonstrates Greenchain Group’s ability to collaborate effectively with engineering partners while delivering high-quality water treatment infrastructure to specification.

LET'S DISCUSS YOUR WATER NEEDS

THE CHALLENGE

Mining operations often require dependable water treatment systems capable of performing consistently in demanding environments. In this case, the client required a containerised solution that could be manufactured to precise technical specifications while meeting both project timelines and operational requirements.

The system needed to be durable, easy to operate and maintain, and capable of delivering reliable water quality through an automated treatment process. Given the project’s international deployment, effective coordination, quality control and project transparency were essential to ensure successful delivery and minimise implementation risks.

THE SOLUTION

Greenchain Group worked closely with AECI Water throughout the project, providing a comprehensive suite of technical engineering support services, including detailed technical drawings and 3D CAD modelling to support manufacturing and integration requirements.

The final solution comprised a PLC-controlled, containerised multimedia filtration water treatment plant designed to remove turbidity and suspended solids from the incoming water supply. Automated probe-controlled monitoring enables targeted process control, ensuring consistent treatment performance while optimising operational efficiency. A sterilisation stage was incorporated as a final treatment barrier to support the production of safe, treated water for site use.

To support effective project delivery, Greenchain Group maintained regular communication with the client through live project tracking tools, including Gantt schedules and procurement monitoring, providing full visibility of project progress and proactive risk management throughout the manufacturing phase.
