Darling Quarter Recycled Water Plant, NSW
Capacity: 245 Kl/day
The Darling Quarter development is a $500 million low rise commercial office and leisure space currently being constructed in Sydney's Darling Harbour.
The project was awarded a 6-Star Green Star Office Design rating by the Green Building Council of Australia.
The development will deliver significant sustainability initiatives, including potable water reduction of 90% through rainwater harvesting and onsite wastewater recycling.
The recycled water plant will combine innovative technologies:
- Moving Bed BiofilmReactor (MBBR)
- Neosep® Membrane Bioreactor
- Multipure Plus Reverse Osmosis unit
The process will treat 245 kilolitres a day of sewage through sewer mining to produce high quality recycled water for reuse for toilet flushing, irrigation and cooling tower make up water.
The recycled water treatment plant was designed to fit within the site's spatial constraints
The MBBR and Neosep® MBR technologies are ideal for sewage water treatment to withstand variations in the load and can provide high removal of bacteria and suspended solids. Then Reverse osmosis will remove salts from the feed water.
