Networks & Treatment

Monitoring organic matter in drinking water systems using fluorescence: improved early warning devices, process optimisation and distribution water quality

Raw source water contains parts of plants, blue-green algae and their toxins, and many other types of organic matter…

Networks & Treatment

Occurrence and management of NDMA and other nitrogenous disinfection by-products in Australian drinking and recycled waters

N-nitrosodiumdimethylamine (NDMA) in drinking water is one of many factors – such as a persons’ genes – that cause cancer…

Circular Economy

Protocol for developing chemical pre-treatment for high pressure membranes

Reverse osmosis (RO) is used to desalinate seawater and brackish groundwater, and to remove microscopic pathogens from treated wastewater…

Circular Economy

Development of predictive tools for membrane ageing

Harmful pathogens and compounds must be removed from wastewater before it can be discharged to the environment or used for irrigation, and many source waters need salts removed to make them potable…

Networks & Treatment

Decentralised treatment solutions for regional and remote water supplies

In Australia, remote and regional communities frequently manage relatively small, isolated water treatment and waste management systems which have water quality and health risks characteristic of small-scale decentralised operations…

Networks & Treatment

On-line monitoring of Cyanobacteria to predict coagulant doses and powdered activated carbon application in water treatment

Water treatment plant operators remove cyanobacteria and the toxins they produce from source waters but calculating the amount of treatment needed for effective removal is difficult, particularly in bloom conditions when cyanobacterial cell numbers and toxins change quickly…

Source & Catchments

Application of capacitive deionisation in inland brackish water desalination

Groundwater, the main water supply in many remote areas of Australia, commonly contains 1500 mg/L or more ‘total dissolved solids’ (TDS), whereas palatable levels are 500 mg/L or less…

Source & Catchments

Optimising conventional treatment for the removal of cyanobacteria and their toxins

Cyanobacterial blooms in surface waters are a source of cells, taste and odour compounds, and a range of toxins…

Source & Catchments

Ultrasound for Control of Cyanobacteria

Cyanobacterial blooms are a major problem for reservoir managers because of the large numbers of cells and the toxins they contain…

Networks & Treatment

Capacitive deionisation for high recovery and low energy desalination of brackish water supplies

Remote and regional Australian communities commonly produce potable water by removing salt from brackish groundwater…
