Reuse of treated wastewater in Altona
Altona, Australia
Wastewater treatment
Project type
13.500 m³/day
Daily capacity
The Altona Water Reuse Plant was the first facility of its kind built in Australia and is capable of producing up to 13,500 m³ of reclaimed water per day.
The project delivers advanced tertiary treatment for the reuse of water from an existing wastewater treatment plant serving approximately 50,000 people.
The facility combines ultrafiltration and multi-stage reverse osmosis technologies, enabling the production of different water qualities for urban and industrial applications.
