About the project
In this section you will find facts and information about the project including frequent questions, an overview of the project partners, and an explanation of biosolids and the processes involved.
Location of the project
The Barwon Water biosolids drying facility is located approximately 15 kilometres south of Geelong.
Barwon Water owns 250 hectares of land, including 110 hectares zoned public use, service and utility at the Black Rock Water Reclamation Plant.
The biosolids drying facility will be built on this land alongside the existing plant and be connected by a 200-metre-long enclosed conveyor belt.
Locating it next to the water reclamation plant allows access to recycled water, saving four million litres of precious drinking water daily, that would otherwise be required to cool the facility.
