Barwon Water, the Australian state of Victoria's largest regional urban water corporation, tendered for a USEPA validated UV water disinfection system and then awarded the contract to Fluidquip Australia who supplied the Berson Inline 1000+ USEPA UV system. Barwon Water provides services to more than 295,000 permanent residents. It oversees 12 major reservoirs and 9 water treatment plants, including the Moorabool Water Treatment Plant (WTP) 45 kilometres north of Gee long. The Moorabool catchment supplies approximately 20% of Greater Geelong's water supply. In 2010, Barwon Water tendered fora UV disinfection system to be supplied to the Moorabool WTP. Fluidquip Australia was the successful bidder and in 2011 a Berson Inline 1000+USEPA UV system was installed in the supernatant return line. So why exactly is a UV system required at this point in the process? To explain, a brief (and simplified) description of the process employed at the Moorabool WTP is required.
