RWTS were subcontracted by Veolia Energy to design and manufacture a ultrafiltration system (UF) for the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Client: Veolia Energy; University of the Sunshine Coast (USC)
Industry: Infrastructure – School and Universities
Systems: Ultrafiltration
BACKGROUND
The University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) is leading tertiary education provider, catering to over 11,000 students on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. USC prides themselves on their commitment of sustainability; with an active program to better manage waste, water and recycling. In an effort to minimise the use of potable water from the local council, USC engaged Veolia Energy to implement a ultrafiltration system (UF). RWTS were subcontracted to design and manufacture the water waste management system.
The water reclamation system treated water from the on-site holding dam to a potable standard. Furthermore the water was able to be used for cooling tower makeup (through evaporation) as part of the university’s air-conditioning system.
CHALLENGES
Due to site space limitations, RWTS was required to design the plant to operate effectively within a small footprint.
