Ballarat Goldfields Southern Water Treatment Plant, VIC

Capacity: 1.5 ML/day

Veolia Water Solutions & Technologieswas awarded the contract for design & build of a water treatment plant for the Ballarat mine site

This plant treats pre-treated mine water from the gold mine using chemical oxidation, greensand filtration and reverse osmosis before being discharged to the siltation pond and then the river following the wetlands.

The high quality treated water ensures compliance with strict environmental discharge limits and increases environmental flows allowing the mine to operate and discharge during drier seasons

VWS also provides Hydrex® Specialty Chemicals and after-sales technical support for process operation and troubleshooting advice for operators on site
