Maroochydore Water Services, Queensland, Australia

Maroochy Water Services in the beautiful seaside City of Maroochydore is located on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. The key driver for this project was to smooth the flows from the two large gravity supplied water treatment plants. Distribution to 12 flow control stations is under gravity flows with an additional eight booster pump stations supplying higher zones.

Aquadapt software optimizes the timing of the pump stations to reduce electricity charges while maintaining fairly steady flows all day and night. It closes flow control valves just as the pump station starts and opens them again as the pump station stops filling their reservoirs. The result is a major improvement on the previous level control algorithms resulting in smooth plant outflows which then leads to more consistent quality final water.
