PROCESS WASTEWATER RECYCLING FOR MUNICIPAL PROJECT

BACKGROUND

Due to the impacts of climate change, Western Australia’s municipal water provider undertook an expansion of existing water infrastructure to increase groundwater abstraction for Perth’s potable water supply.

As part of the expansion of the Neerabup Ground Water Treatment Plant, the construction contractor needed to treat media filter backwash wastewater for solids removal prior to recycling back into the treatment process.

MAK Water underwent sample bench testing to confirm process design and worked closely with the engineering consultant and the WA Water Corporation to confirm final equipment selection.
MAK Water was selected to provide a compact Lamella Clarifier with custom equipment package.
