Improving water quality with floating high speed surface aerators

Aeration equipment is vital to the biological operation of aerobic wastewater purification processes. Aeration introduces oxygen into the treatment process which is essential in sustaining the beneficial bacteria that consume the pollutants in the wastewater. If you have a requirement for reliable, energy efficient aeration, then the solution may be the EEE High Speed Floating Aerator.

New wastewater treatment plant for Torres Strait community

Masig Island (Yorke Island) is a coral cay situated in the Torres Strait at the top end of the Great Barrier Reef surrounded by pristine aquamarine seas, rich in marine life. The sea has always been integral to the way of life of the Masig islanders. Commercial mackerel fishing, prawning and crayfishing is undertaken and a highly profitable fish factory has operated on the island since the late 1970's. Currently trials are underway on a potential sea sponge aquaculture industry.

In 2007 EPCO Australia was awarded the contract for the development of a new wastewater treatment plant on Masig Island as part of the Torres Strait Islands Major Infrastructure Program which is delivering environmental health infrastructure to Torres Strait communities.

Heavy duty back raked screens for automatic weed removal

The control of infestations of Water Hyacinth, Alligator Weed and Giant Parramatta Weed had been an ongoing problem for Hunter Water at the intake to their Balickera Canal Pump Station. Continuous regulated treatment of the weeds with herbicides had been carried out, but removal of the weeds from the water flow posed a health and safety problem as the existing screens needed to be cleaned manually.
