Redcliffe

Location

The City of Redcliffe is home to approximately 50,000 people and is located on a peninsula, 35 minutes north of Brisbane.

Plant Design

Ausmos engineers were commissioned in late 2005 to design, manufacture and install this plant in accordance with requirements set by the Redcliffe City Council.

Not only is this plant constructed with quality components which ensure its reliability and durability, it also features innovative PLC controls and alarm functions which optimise the water treatment process and minimise operator attendance.

The Redcliffe Plant treats final effluent at a rate of 15M 3 /hr to better than A class standard for recycled water. This is achieved through the use of our Ozone Foam Fractionation System.

The installation of the Redcliffe Plant in 2006 and an identical plant at Coombabah on the Gold Coast in 2004, followed successful trials with a small pilot plant at Elanora WWTP, another Gold Coast City Council Plant.

The Redcliffe plant comprises a pump fed manual backwash multi media pressure filter operating at a low flow rate and measured by an inline mag flow meter. Liquid chlorine is added prior to entry to the multi media filter.

Backwash water is collected in a 4,000l storage tank where it is then pumped back to the wastewater treatment plant.

Filtered water is then directed to a foam fractionation column where a combination of ozone and a small quantity of foaming agent is added. The resultant foam is directed to the backwash storage tank and the treated water is pumped to two 26,000l polypropylene storage tanks.
