Project information
In this section you will find information about the project including important data and the key benefits of the project.
The design for the biosolids drying facility uses proven technology that is safe, reliable, efficient, and capable of delivering a consistent T1 grade of pelletised, dried biosolids. This is the highest treatment grade of biosolids possible.
The Keppel Seghers HARD Pelletiser is an established and proven technology that relies on indirect heating to dry the biosolids and form stable pellets, maximising the beneficial reuse options. It will be fully enclosed in the brand new facility.
The biosolids from the Black Rock Water Reclamation Plant will be fed to the biosolids drying facility via an enclosed air cushion conveyor, bridging the distance between the existing belt press building and the facility, into enclosed buffer storage silos.
The belt conveyor between the belt press building and the biosolids drying facility will be air supported and fully enclosed to contain any odour.
Deliveries from Barwon Water's other water reclamation plants will be received within the facility and blended with the material received from Black Rock Water Reclamation Plant and processed by the facility.
