ABSTRACT

As stated in the publication of A Practical Guide to the Operation and Optimisation of Media Filters “filtration is arguably the key process unit in a Water Treatment Plant”  In recognising the truth of this statement and to improve the reliability and water quality out of our filters at Goulburn Valley Water (GVW), Peter Mosse was engaged to develop a regular inspection program and to train operators to undertake this program. This paper will cover the implementation, results and ongoing outcomes of setting up the system of inspection. The paper will also address, putting together an Action plan, and will cover some of the actions that were implemented.
