No.12 - MARCH 2013 PORTFOLIO_ 7 THE DESALINATION CYCLE — On the Wonthaggi site, the production cycle is made up of 7 key stages. First, water is pumped from the sea (water intake) via a 1.2-km long tunnel before being pre-treated through a sieving and filtering process which removes algae, suspended solids and other particles. Next, it is injected into reverse osmosis racks, where the water is filtered and desalinated through semi-permeable membranes. Then comes the purification phase when the water is remineralised (calcium and carbonates), giving it all of the necessary properties to make it safe for consumption. It is then sent to the Cardinia Reservoir via an 84 km-long feeder pipe before entering the Melbourne water supply, wich is connected to the regional areas. The first two stages of the cycle include the optimal treatment of sludge and the brine produced during the reverse osmosis process being returned to the sea via a special 1.5 km-long tunnel. 27 years of operations, after which the plant will be handed back to the Victorian Government in perfect working order.
