AWWA MTC69723

Brisbane, Australia is currently implementing multiple reuse projects to combat the severe drought occurring throughout Queensland. The Western Corridor Recycled Water Project includes three advanced water treatment plants (AWTP) as well as additional pipelines, storage tanks and pumping stations. The Gibson Island AWTP (GIAWTP) is the largest of the three with a capacity of 25 MGD (100 Ml/d). Since product water will eventually blend into the potable water system via existing reservoirs, the plant is required to comply with Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG). This paper presents the findings of the sampling program implemented to determine contaminant levels in GIAWTP feed water, and removal rates from membrane pilots. Includes 2 references, tables, figure.
