Water and wastewater treatment company De.mem Limited announced that the company has secured A$780,000 ($564,868) operations and maintenance contract for Rio Tinto’s Amrun bauxite mine in Queensland, Australia.
De.mem will manage potable water and sewage treatment plants at the mine, for 12 months beginning January 2019. The company said the additional revenue could be secured from the delivery of spares and other equipment.

De.mem CEO Andreas Kroell said: “This new purchase order is another great success for De.mem as it underlines our well established customer base in the mining and resources sector, and our strong, recurring Operations & Maintenance (“O&M”) business.
“The O&M business is of high importance to De.mem as the recurring revenues deliver predictable and dependable revenue streams over longer periods. Furthermore, O&M is an attractive product offering for our customer base, as they can benefit from our extensive expertise in operating water treatment plants most efficiently.
“The O&M business also bears great growth potential for De.mem as we are poised to expand this service beyond Queensland, Australia, and Singapore into other locations.”
Rio’s Amrun mine will replace production from the depleting East Weipa mine and increase annual bauxite exports by around 10 million tonnes. Amrun is expected to reach a full production rate of 22.8 million tonnes a year during 2019.
