Australia Biogas Facility Upgrading of a Biogas Capture at Wastewater Treatment Plant
In partnership with the John Holland/KBR Joint Venture, Geomembrane Technologies (GT) is planning to install a new lagoon cover at the 25W Lagoon at Melbourne Water’s Western Treatment Plant (WTP). Replacing the previous cover, the new addition will capture biogas, control odour and minimise greenhouse gas emissions.
In January 2017, it was confirmed to AcuComm by Melbourne Water that design work had commenced, with construction scheduled to be completed towards the middle of the year.
