Australia’s Waste and Recycling Industry: Bearing Solutions for Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plants
A fundamental component to Australia’s waste and recycling industry is the cleaning of wastewater. The cleaning processes undertaken at a wastewater treatment plant improves its quality before it is recycled and reintroduced back into the environment.
Secondary Treatment Process
- The level of oxygen in wastewater is altered to create aerobic and anaerobic environments.
- Bacteria are created in these environments to remove pollutants from the water.
- Soluble organic matter and solids are removed during this stage.
- In anaerobic conditions, hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas forms, which can be corrosive to components and machinery.
Standard bearings can rust in such conditions, making them ineffective once corroded.
Schaeffler: A Leading Global Supplier
Schaeffler, a leading global supplier to the automotive and industrial sectors, has been pushing ground-breaking technology and developments in the fields of motion and mobility for more than 75 years.
Founded in 1883, the brand first originated under the name Fischers Aktien-Gesellschaft, which was the name of the company that originally founded the FAG brand. First known for the production of steel balls for use in ball bearing, the company expanded its product line and became known for its high-quality bearings.
Today, FAG is one of the brands owned by the Schaeffler Group. The company provides several bearing solutions that suit the needs of waste management plants struggling with maintaining the integrity of their equipment.

SDGs, Targets, and Indicators
-
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
- Target 6.3: By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials.
- Indicator 6.3.2: Proportion of bodies of water with good ambient water quality.
-
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
- Target 9.4: By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes.
- Indicator 9.4.1: CO2 emission per unit of value added.
- Indicator 9.4.2: Material footprint, material footprint per capita, and material footprint per GDP.
The article discusses the importance of wastewater treatment in Australia’s waste and recycling industry. This aligns with SDG 6, which focuses on clean water and sanitation. The article specifically mentions the cleaning processes undertaken at a wastewater treatment plant to improve water quality before it is recycled and reintroduced back into the environment. This relates to Target 6.3 of SDG 6, which aims to improve water quality by reducing pollution and minimizing the release of hazardous chemicals and materials. The indicator mentioned in the article is Indicator 6.3.2, which measures the proportion of bodies of water with good ambient water quality.
The article also highlights the role of bearing solutions in wastewater plants, which can contribute to sustainable infrastructure and industrial processes. This connects to SDG 9, which focuses on industry, innovation, and infrastructure. The specific target mentioned in the article is Target 9.4, which aims to upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable with increased resource-use efficiency and adoption of clean technologies. The indicators mentioned in the article are Indicator 9.4.1, which measures CO2 emissions per unit of value added, and Indicator 9.4.2, which measures material footprint per capita and per GDP.
