Peninsula Hot Springs Implements Advanced Water Recycling with Hydroflux Systems
Peninsula Hot Springs is a natural hot springs and day spa destination on the Mornington Peninsula, just 90 minutes from Melbourne. The mineral water is sourced from underground artesian aquafers.
One of the environmental conditions for the site is that no water is discharged to sewer or environment, which mean the site has to re-inject the used water into the aquafer. Prior to the re-injection the used water is required to be filtered via MMF systems.
Hydroflux Industrial were contracted to process the MMF back wash water, along several other streams from site (clay bath etc) with high solids content.
The process Hydroflux Industrial has employed is, collection of all streams in mixed buffer tank, then pumped via a static mixer with coagulant addition, to a pre-reaction tank for polymer addition, from a Hydroflux Hydroblend blending system, prior to gravity flowing through a Hydroflux CS–10 cross flow lamella separator. The clarified water is then pumped back to head of work (pre-MMF’s) whilst the sludge from the bottom of the CS–10 is pumped directly to a Hydroflux fully automatic CakeMAX Chamber filter Press. Again, the filtrate is returned to head of works, whilst the caked sludge being a solids is the only waste from the site.
