leading provider of engineering design and development to the waste sector
RE.COVERY FOR RE.USE
EXPERIENCE AND CAPABILITY

• Krysteline: a UK based company that provides a patented implosion
system for glass recycling
• Alchemy: a New Zealand company that provides Alchemy Optical Sorting system which improves container separation
May 2017
The tender process was designed to ‘simplify’ documentation and deliver rapid results
• Tenders opened and closed in December 2015, with a quick tour of the existing MRF
• The assessment and contract finalisation was completed in a 2-week window

The tender framework allowed us to innovate, and establish a partnership approach
• The ACT was clear on what it wanted, but not prescriptive on how we achieved it
• We proposed our own KPIs, with a meaningful focus on the bonus/penalty regime
• The initial goal was to ‘keep it alive’ for at least 3 years (3+2+1yr term)
• The ACT was clear about its ultimate vision of being leaders in resource recovery

A novel contract
At Coffs 2016 the ACT Government presented on the ‘outcomes based contract’
framework, and highlighted the benefits of fostering a partnership approach
May 2017
“We’ve got a really good relationship… it’s a combined partnership
that looks at how we can best achieve the outcomes for the ACT
-- ACT Program Director, Coffs Conference 2016
The scale of the challenge quickly become apparent
• We have a hands on management team, and our
top people were deployed to get to know the site
• MRF was +14 years old and badly rundown (it was let
on a month-by-month basis for several years)
• We expected to spend some money on the plant,
but had not expected the scale required
The key drivers for Hume were the same for any MRF
• Production Rate – tonnes per hour of throughput
• Recovery Rate – level of recycling achieved
• Product Quality – quality of recyclables recovered
• Plant Performance – minimising plant downtime
Commercial in Confidence 7
Project drivers
Visual amenity was a key issue for the ACT Government, but the root cause of
the issue was the capacity of the MRF to handle incoming feedstock
Before (Jan 16) and After (March 16)
In order to rectify all issues and deliver the best
outcomes, we decided on a full rebuild
May 2017
Our goal was to create a showcase for the ACT
• Increasing production to 25t/hr, doubling
capacity to +80,000t/a
increasing recovery rates
Implementation was…challenging
of 7-8 weekends and a single 1 week shut
• Plan was not to do this over the Christmas
peak…but in the end we managed it
Commercial in Confidence 8
Hume MRF – Redesign
A key design challenge was ensuring we could complete the upgrade while
minimising downtime for the operating facility
May 2017
enable maintenance, adjustments and improvements
10May 2017
10May 2017
All existing outdated and unreliable equipment was removed and replaced
Now operating at 25t/hr, and at the target availability (+90%)
Some existing equipment was repurposed and utilised...but not much
Redevelopment has successful addressed critical issues for the Hume MRF
Doubled recycling capacity, to enable increased resource recovery
Improvement of product quality to support premium offtakes
We have deployed leading technology, already proven at our other MRFs
Machinex ballistic screening systems improve quality of recovered fibre
Alchemy Optical Sorting on the containers line increases the volume of
high-quality materials and reduces low-value mixed plastic stream
The Krystelline Glass Implosion system, including a drier, is enabling on-site
manufacture of high quality glass sand products
The new facility is more robust, better able to handle both an increase in volume
and the different materials generated by the business community

rebuild, and was factored into our thinking
including the glass sand circuit
