Background
The Beenyup wastewater treatment plant serves Perth's northern suburbs. It is an advanced secondary treatment facility that can treat up to 135 million litres of wastewater a day, serving about 660,000 people. Australia's first groundwater replenishment scheme is on the same site.
Challenge
Ammonia is widely used in water and wastewater treatment to create chloramines for disinfection. Dry ammonia is relatively non-corrosive, but with moisture it becomes highly corrosive, so the materials that hold it are critical for long-term protection and safety.
Solution
GRP Tank Solutions made a tank 2.5 m in diameter and 2.84 m in straight height, using resins selected to withstand ammonia. The tank was successfully installed.
