Transforming 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不良以及温室气体排放的挑战。该项目旨在创新地使用铁盐来实现区域污水的高效处理。该项目与合作伙伴西澳大利亚水务公司（Western Australia Water Corporation）合作，希望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种向废水中添加铁的太阳能系统，同时克服四大挑战和供应链问题。预期结果包括行业采用具有重要全球相关性的新技术并将其商业化的能力。结果应该减少澳大利亚地区废水服务的不平等。

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.
