Siemens to Provide a Membrane Bioreactor System for Gippsland Water Factory in Australia

Siemens Water Technology (USA) has been awarded a 2.6 million Euro (4.26m AUD; 3.6M USD) contract by the Gippsland Water Factory Alliance (GWFA). Siemens will supply membranes and associated core system components for a membrane bioreactor (MBR) system as part of the new water factory project in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia.
The MBR will treat up to 35 million litres of water per day (MLD) of domestic and industrial wastewater, and will provide the feed for the reverse osmosis system to produce approximately 8 MLD of Class A recycled water for use by local industry.
The project is scheduled for completion in late 2008.
