AVANTech Awarded and Delivers CH2M HILL - Darling Downs Power Station, Australia


AVANTech, Inc. was awarded and had delivered a complete water treatment system in support of CH2M Hill - Darling Downs power project in Dalby, Australia. The water treatment system consists of two (2) – 100% train systems, designed for 204 LPM (54 gpm) each. The system consists of cartridge filteration, reverse osmosis (RO), membrane degasification for carbon dioxide removal and electrodeionization (EDI). The treatment system has primary and secondary electrodeionization units that are uniquely configured in series to meet the stringent product water quality requirement of 0.1 ìS/cm cation conductivity. The integrated system also includes antiscalant and sodium bisulfite addition, a clean-in-place skid and a neutralization skid to handle the chemical waste discharge from cleaning the RO/ EDI membranes. All equipment is skid mounted, pre-piped and pre-wired and all the associated valves, piping, instrumentation, pumps, equipment, and related components. The system operates on 50 Hz power and meets all Australian motor and electrical code requirements.



The design, engineering, and fabrication were validated with the system in full operation and tested at AVANTech’s manufacturing facility prior to site delivery. AVANTech personnel will be providing installation support working with CH2MHill in Dalby, Australia. “This award is confirmation of our ability to provide cost effective client-specific solutions.
