Released on Monday, 05 November 2007
The EcoPoint Murramurang Resort near Batemans Bay can now lay claim to having one of Australia’s most technologically advanced and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment systems.
The Aqeo Membrane Bioreactor treatment system, installed at the Resort by Stornoway Water, was officially handed over to the resort owners today.
Stornoway Water CEO, Tim Gardner said that the Aqeo system utilises the very latest in modern water treatment technology to overcome significant challenges associated with the ecological and cultural sensitivity of the Resort site.
‘The Resort needed to upgrade their existing Class B wastewater to tertiary Class A level without negatively impacting on the Resort’s native park and wetland,’ Mr Gardner said.
‘We have been able to install a system to effectively treat and manage the Resort’s considerable water demands, with minimal impact on the Resort’s spectacular natural environment.
‘The Aqeo Membrane Bioreactor treatment system incorporates state-of-the-art ultra-filtration membranes, with Chlorine dosing and UV disinfection, to produce Class A+ water that exceeds regulatory requirements.’
Mr Gardner said new Aqeo system is able to treat a combined wastewater load of 100,000 litres a day.
‘This capacity ensures the Resort will be able to effectively manage its water flow during its busiest periods, such as weekends and Christmas holidays,’ Mr Gardner said.
Mr Gardner said that Stornoway Water was pleased to be able to deliver an innovative and cost-effective water solution for the EcoPoint Murramurang Resort, on budget and on-time.
‘This is a beautiful part of the world, and we’re delighted to be able to deliver a sustainable solution that guarantees visitors to the resort the finest quality water and wastewater treatment available anywhere in Australia.’
