SA Water Recycling System Takes to World Stage
A sustainable wastewater recycling system is being promoted to some of the world’s poorest communities after successful trials in South Australia.
Pioneered by Flinders University, the Flinders High Rate Algal Pond (HRAP) wastewater treatment system has been showcased at a presentation at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle, US.
They hope that the HRAP system will be applied in other rural communities in climates similar to South Australia and thereby improve the health of residents.
This system is cost-effective to run and the capital cost for construction is also 40% less compared to other treatment systems.
