Australia – Providing safe drinking water from brackish source:
The township of Oakey, located in the Jondaryan Shire Council in Queensland, Australia - similarly to an increasing number of other locations - has decided to desalinate brackish water to supplement the supply of drinking water to its inhabitants.
NIROSOFT INDUSTRIES has been awarded the Turn-Key project of a complete Reverse Osmosis desalination plant.
The outlet capacity will reach 2000 m3 per day and the overall value of the project attains the million Australian Dollar.
The treatment process will include media filters, chemical pre-treatment, reverse osmosis membranes for desalination of the brackish water, remineralization by calcite filters and disinfection by post-chlorination.
As complicated as it may sounds, remote Cleaning-In-Place monitoring will be done from NIROSOFT headquarters in Israel.
The system is scheduled to be operated around August 2008 towards the upcoming Australian summer.
