Funded Activity Summary

Cost effective in-line filtration system to improve water quality in rainwater tanks. This research will provide the basis for developing an affordable and innovative water treatment solution for domestic rainwater collection systems. The main elements of this research are: . Provision of a cost -effective submerged membrane operated under gravity to provide water of potable standard. . Establishing an adaptive membrane cleaning system using the concept of volume control. . Characterisation protocol of membrane fouling and stored rain water. . Sizing of a permeate tank for storing treated water through demand management. This project will increase the use of rainwater tanks, helping available water resources to go further.
