Wastewater treatment in regional Australia faces challenges of odour control, poor pollutant and pathogen removal, and greenhouse gas emissions. This project aims to innovatively use iron salts to realise highly efficient wastewater treatment in regional areas. With Partner, Western Australia Water Corporation, this project expects to leverage a recent breakthrough discovery on iron chemistry to co-develop and field test a solar system that doses wastewater with iron, to overcome four challenges and a supply chain issue simultaneously. Expected outcomes include industry capacity to adopt and commercialise a novel technology with important global relevance. Outcomes should reduce the inequity of wastewater services in regional Australia.

澳大利亚地区的废水处理面临着气味控制、污染物和病原体去除效果差以及温室气体排放的挑战。该项目旨在创新性地使用铁盐，在区域范围内实现高效污水处理。与合作伙伴西澳大利亚水务公司合作，该项目预计将利用最近在铁化学方面的突破性发现，共同开发和现场测试一个将废水与铁结合的太阳能系统，以同时克服四个挑战和一个供应链问题。预期成果包括行业采用和商业化具有重要全球意义的新技术的能力。结果应减少澳大利亚地区废水处理服务的不平等。
