Aqua 2000 supplies world class water to 110,000 people of central Victoria, Australia. Theconstruction of the three water treatment plants, distribution systems and storages represents oneof the largest infrastructure projects ever undertaken in the region. The water treatment plants anddistribution systems were designed to achieve the performance measures set by the waterauthority, Coliban Water, for all possible raw water conditions. The leading edge technology nowin place in the region employs a three-phase treatment process that includes microfiltration,ozonation and biologically activated carbon to deliver water that far exceeds World HealthOrganization standards. Memcor's proven Continuous Microfiltration (CMF) was chosen for thetwo smaller plants with the new CMF-S immersed membrane technology selected for the126ML/d (33.3 USMGD) Bendigo water treatment plant. This plant is the largest immersedmembrane plant in the world for the potable water treatment. Microfiltration guarantees removalof Cryptosporidium and Giardia contamination from unprotected rural catchments.The Aqua 2000 project is a 25-year Build Own Operate contract operated by Vivendi WaterAustralia. The three water treatment plants and distribution systems have been in commercialoperation since June 2002, supplying the region with a safe and secure water supply.This paper outlines the Aqua 2000 project, the process selection and water quality achieved aswell as describing some of the key design aspects of the CMF-S System for the Bendigo WTP. Includes 3 references, tables, figures.
