Forward thinking with FO-RO funding
A new emerging wastewater treatment technology will be trialed in Tamworth thanks to $136,800 in funding from the New South Wales Government. The forward osmosis – reverse osmosis (FO-RO) treatment system trial will take place at Tamworth Regional Council’s Westdale Wastewater Treatment Plant and will include testing of process water from a local abattoir.
The use of this new technology may enhance the opportunities for management and recycling of process water streams from industry, as well as from treated sewage effluent. This would reduce large industry’s reliance on town water supplies giving regions like Tamworth greater opportunity to welcome more of these businesses to their area.
