ABOUT THE PROJECT
In 2020, Moerk Water was approached by Water Corporation to provide a pilot membrane filtration unit to supply water to towns outside of the municipal water supply network. Moerk Water designed and constructed a variable recovery rate system which was able to treat a range of different feedwaters. The system was designed to be run on either solar or grid and has the potential to be upgraded to an off-grid solution in the future. The unit was delivered to Water Corporation mid 2020 and is due to be commissioned in a remote town east of Perth at the end of 2022. In addition to supplying a regional town with drinking water, the unit is designed as a showcase for farmers in the area of the potential of brackish water treatment.
