COMMISSIONING AND TESTING OF THE WESTERN CORRIDOR RECYCLED WATER SCHEME

摘要

In 2008, the Queensland Government notionally completed the delivery of the Western Corridor Recycled Water Scheme to bring high-quality recycled water to industry and to supplement drinking water supplies for the region. At a cost of some US$2.2 billion, this includes three advanced water treatment plants and over 200km of large-diameter pipelines with the capacity to deliver up to 232ML/day (61mgd) of recycled water to the region. This paper considers some of the challenges experienced during the commissioning and testing of the scheme, particularly in the advanced water treatment plants. Some observations are made as to ways in which delivery of future schemes could be enhanced.
