Advanced Filter Underdrain Technology for Superior Water Treatment Performance
Our Stainless Steel Underdrain System is a proven filter underdrain solution designed to maximise filtration performance through guaranteed uniform hydraulic distribution, low-profile design, and robust stainless steel construction.
Key Features and Benefits
A long-term water security study showed that Marian and Mirani’s existing groundwater bores couldn’t keep pace with regions projected growth. A water security project was scoped by council to safeguard reliable, high-quality drinking water for the townships. An alternative water source in the Pioneer River was identified a new treatment plant was required to treat the water to Australian Drinking Standards for the community.
Aquatec Maxcon was engaged to deliver the turnkey Design and Construct project that would see a new treatment plant built that would cater for the rising population and secure the water future of the region.
Raw water quality varied throughout the year from the new source. Our solution was to utilise highly efficient Meurer Research Institute MRI Lamella Clarifiers which not only offered small footprint but enhanced clarification particularly during season weather events.
The full treatment process consists of:
The Marian site that was selected by council was located close to the raw water source but was at risk of seasonal flooding, so elevations needed to be considered for all plant and equipment. Along with all the lamella plates, media filtration and other process equipment the project delivered a new administration building featuring offices and staff amenities, a new workshop/store and new switch room for power and SCADA operations
The outcome of this multi award winning project is the security of water supply of up to 4 ML/day, for the current and future residents of Marian and Mirani. Through resilient water treatment plant design utilising the latest technology Aquatec Maxcon delivered a new water treatment plant that processes the raw water to supply the community with safe award-winning tasting water, and provides drought and flood free intergenerational infrastructure
As part of securing Townsville City Councils water supply for health and regional prosperity, it was identified that the clarification process was hindered during certain weather events that affected the water quality in the Ross River Dam. BMD Constructions was awarded the contract to act as principal contractor for the Douglas Water Treatment Plant upgrade
To improve operations, Aquatec Maxcon, working under BMD Constructions, upgraded the plant by installing new lamella clarifiers in Modules 3 and 4 in 2023. These lamella clarifiers significantly reduce the raw water turbidity prior to filtration, allowing the downstream sand filters to operate at their full capacity during unfavourable weather conditions..
The full scope for the upgrade consisted of:
The key design parameters were:
Full compliance with modern water quality standards under the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines
Module 3 Improved plant capacity to 950 Litres of raw water per second
Module 4 Improved plant capacity to 1100 Litres of raw water per second
Enhanced plant flexibility and operational uptime
Upgrade was delivered during Covid-19 with uninterrupted water delivery to the community
