The task of treating water from dams and other storages ensures a supply of fresh, safe and secure water for urban and rural communities and businesses across South East Queensland.
The processes and technologies used to remove contaminants from raw water and to improve and protect water quality are similar to those used all around the world. The most widely applied water treatment process - known as conventional treatment - is a combination of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation and filtration, and is used by the majority of Seqwater’s treatment facilities. Chemicals added to the water at various stages enable the processes to effectively remove potentially harmful contaminants in the raw water entering the plants. Innovative water treatment technologies are becoming more and more important in response to the challenges associated with some of our raw water sources. Advanced water treatment - comprising conventional treatment plus additional process streams such as ozonation and biological activated carbon filtration - enhance the removal of toxins, organic matter, pesticides and disinfection by-products. These advanced treatment processes are used at Seqwater’s Landers Shute, Ewen Maddock, and Noosa facilities on the |
