Biological Activated Carbon (BAC) Removal Of Soluble Manganese From Drinking Water

This project assessed the performance of a biological activated carbon (BAC) filter in removing soluble manganese from drinking water. Findings from this experiment aimed to provide evidence for BAC filtration […]

The Art Of Diagnosing An Unhealthy Town Water Bore

Australian Drinking Water Standards require that the water sources are tested to meet very strict requirements for drinking water. But do we test for the health of bores (wells)? When […]

Water Treatment In The AI Age: Opportunities And Concerns From The Frontlines

Artificial intelligence (AI) has enormous potential to revolutionise water and wastewater treatment operations by optimising efficiency, predictive maintenance, and quality control. For example, AI can predict changes in raw water […]

Understanding Your Microbial Zoo: Using Microscopy To Assist Control Of Activated Sludge Processes

Successful operation of any treatment plant requires monitoring to ensure the process remains within its operating limits and achieves treatment objectives. Monitoring can take different forms, including online monitoring using […]

Unexpected Learnings From An Inflow And Infiltration Study

Infiltration and inflow (I&I) of groundwater and stormwater into sewer networks is an issue for water authorities across Australia. I&I causes increased flows into the sewer network which results in […]

Reverse Osmosis Treatment at Davis Station, Antarctica

Potable water at Davis Station, Antarctica, is produced by reverse osmosis from a saline tarn source. There are various operational issues associated with this water production method which must be […]

Pumping Down Emissions By Reducing Life Cycle Cost

Moving toward ‘Net-Zero by 2050’ includes manufacturing, operating, and maintaining assets in a manner that minimises Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The major contributors to the GHG emissions of a pumping […]

Enhanced Concrete Performance With Use Of Carbon Nanotube Liquid Additive

Carbon nanotube (CNT) enriched liquid additives, when used in the design and construction of concrete result in improved durability and strength. Nanoparticles serve as nucleation sites during cement hydration to […]

Shifting Sands: The Nitty-Grit-Ty Behind Recent Improvements At The Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centrey

Icon Water had not holistically upgraded the grit capture and transport functions at the Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre (LMWQCC) since 1978. The grit removal system had underperformed. The […]
