Achieving True Net Zero

From the First Principles

New Technology blending with Existing

Introduction of Hydrogen into an ageing network.

Sustech has provided a costing estimation on high-level breakdown for Hydrogen introduction into an existing key gas distribution network system. This long-term asset-forecast (CAPEX-OPEX) involved the research into the asset as well as the differing components that would be directly involved in Hydrogen introduction and the potential effects of this. During the project Sustech: 

  • Provided higher level thinking regarding the expected possible outcomes as well as estimations of future possible unknowns. 

  • Provided methods of cost deployment with intention to provide the most efficient and cost-effective long-term outcome for Client. 

  • Demonstrated high understanding of network and network assets when targeting areas of interest for the study.

  • Showed high levels of flexibility and consideration towards the Clients purpose for the estimation and when asked would accommodate changes or updates for this to ensure a timely and satisfying delivery.

Sustech’s engineers have extensive experience on high-risk projects and have its own high-standards HSE.

Sustech provides expert service compliant with acts and regulations related to:

  • Pipelines and petroleum

  • Geothermal energies

  • Consumers gas

  • Building and safety

  • Work Health and Safety

Queensland Hydrogen Industry Strategy 2019-24The Queensland Hydrogen Industry Strategy (QHIS) outlines the Queensland Government’s vision that by  2030  Queensland will be at the forefront of renewable hydrogen production in  Australia,  supplying an established domestic market and export partners with a  safe,  sustainable, and reliable supply of hydrogen.

Sustech has been a proud contributor to implementing the strategy.

Sustech was engaged to offer expert service in selecting materials fit for the distribution of Hydrogen. Sustech’s tasks included …

  • Created a piping spec and made selections for both piping and valves. Throughout the project, Sustech provided technical coordination with the client.

  • Selected materials for Hydrogen distribution.

  • Made selection for piping and valves.

  • Piping spec hydrogen.

  • Water supply and discharge.

  • Client technical coordination.

  • Compliance with regulations & standards

UWA Project:

Wastewater Treatment Technology

Sustech Engineering Pty Ltd (Sustech) has been an enthusiastic participant in the Australian Research Council-funded project under the ARC Industrial Transformation Research Hubs scheme to establish the ARC Research Hub for Value-Added Processing of  Underutilised  Carbon  Waste,  or ARC-VAP.

The proposed ARC-VAP hub aims to develop advanced upcycling technologies and relevant policy and regulations for the processing of unused carbon waste.  This aligns with Australia’s urgent National Waste Action Plan for an average recycling rate of 80% for all the waste streams and halving the amount of organic waste sent to landfill by 2030. More specifically, it aligns with Sustech’s key strategic objective in the processing of our domestic and industrial wastewater streams.

Our objectives and operations align with the key objectives of this Hub in that we create a simple, robust, and scalable aerobic wastewater treatment technology and we identify the synergies between water electrolysis -based renewable-hydrogen production and oxygen-enriched aerobic wastewater treatment process, which is beneficial to improve the economic feasibilities of both technologies. Working at the core of the ARC-VAP Hub, Sustech is eagerly looking forward to a close-partnership with the Centre for Energy, the University of Western Australia, and other Hub partners to resolve the scientific questions and engineering challenges underpinning the processing of our wastes.

This would lead to the ultimate delivery of advanced upcycling technology with a  high TRL that is ready for post-project large-scale demonstration. Sustech expects to build a strong network and work synergistically with other industry and business partners participating in the Hub, securing potential partners and end-users for future commercialisation. Working with the relevant government agencies involved in the ARC-VAP hub, Sustech also expects to help formulate a sound science-foundation supporting the policy and regulation for waste processing, thereby paving a clearer pathway for our future operations.

  • Sustech and its associates have a mission & the capability to execute high-quality standardised wastewater-treatment projects.

    Our capability spans the feasibility-analysis, design, supply and installation of all required equipment from wastewater to feed-water for electrolysers.

    We are able to provide installation services within Western Australia for mechanical and electrical works related to wastewater and water treatment.

  • Sustech’s associates manufacture and supply the following:

    • fibreglass vessels for multimedia filtration

    • 1 micron and 5 micron cartridge filters

    • All relevant upvc pipe work and valves

    • Feed pumps (Grundfos/Flygt)

    • Chlorine dosing and analysers

    • Bundled storage for chemicals

    • Access platforms

    • Modular sewage treatment plant

    • Air blowers

    • Pilbara series control panel

    • Polishing filters

    • Turbidity analysers

    • Ph analysers

    • DO and MLSS monitoring

    • Schneider PLC with remote monitoring

    Water treatment plants are housed in fully insulated and containerised reefer containers while sewage plants are installed on flat rack containers for easy mobilisation and transport.
