The plant was found to be fully automatic, while human intervention was required for chemical change-over, monitoring and maintenance. The committee established that the plant is able to treat 20 - 25 Ml/day of water dependent on pH and salt concentrations. Of the 25 Ml/day, 20 Ml/day is sold to the eMalahleni Local Municipality and 5 Ml/day was reused in their operations. Strict safety interventions have been put in place which includes amongst others; visible felt leadership, golden rule implementation within and around the plant. This has led to more than 1000 days without lost time due to injury. This was a good accomplishment considering that there are over eight hazardous chemicals on site for various process functions.
