Challenge Deteriorating water quality in the local Loddon River, due to prolonged drought meant that the drinking water source for two rural communities suffered from taste, odour and salinity problems even after conventional treatment. The challange was to provide a salt reduction facility within a tight time frame as part of an overall water treatment plant upgrade.

Solution A reverse osmosis desalination (salt reduction) plant in two containers which removes salts from water that has already passed through conventional water treatment processes.

Result Working to the client's project managment time frame, Osmoflo was able to design, construct and deliver a salinity reduction system with a high rate of recovery within a little over four months from contract signing. The system is designed to be transportable and is able to treat feed water of variable quality with only minor modification should it be required elsewhere in the future.
