Australia Water: a mega wastewater treatment plant in Perth

Can Wastewater really become the new black gold? The answer is yes, because – if treated properly – wastewater can be turned into clear water, animal feed, and even fuel. This is already happening at the Woodman Point Water Resource Recovery Facility, a wastewater treatment plant located in the city of Munster, just south of Perth, in the heart of Western Australia.

This initiative – managed by Water Corporation – is a key part of the broader “Australia water” strategy, showcasing innovative solutions for sustainable water management. The plant treats around 150 million liters of wastewater every day from nearly 900,000 homes and businesses. Inside the facility, up to 78 tons of organic matter and sludge are converted into biosolids, a byproduct of the wastewater treatment process that can be transformed into fertilizer for wheat, oats, and canola crops.
