Case Study Document

Overview

Dowdens Pumping and Water Treatment were engaged by Origin Energy to design, supply, install and commission a potable Water Treatment Plant (WTP) at their Hamilton Park South 400 man Gathering Camp.

The Problem

The onsite bores delivered raw water, which was high in conductivity, total dissolved solids, sodium, chloride, iron and aluminium, which needed to be removed to meet Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. Origin Energy required 120kL of treated water produced per day.

Our Solution

Dowdens Pumping and Water Treatment customised a potable water treatment system for Origin Energy. The system consists of pre-treatment, ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), carbon filtration and disinfection.

The process that was recommended and accepted by Origin Energy included:

  • Pre-treatment
  • Ultrafiltration (UF)
  • Reverse osmosis (RO)
  • Carbon filtration and disinfection
