A critical asset for Melbourne Water, the Eastern Treatment Plant is located in Bangholme in Victoria and treats around 40% of Melbourne’s sewerage. A key part of the treatment process is 24 secondary sedimentation tanks which remove further solids from the effluent being treated. Due to the aggressive nature of effluent on these assets over their lifespan, major refurbishment is required to ensure they can continue to effectively operate.
