RECYCLED WATER ON TAP AT QENOS
27 April 2011, ALTONA, VICTORIA
This project, which saw the first sod turned in October 2009 to build City West Water's state of the art facility in Queen Street, has now been completed. It has also involved laying nearly three kilometres of Qenos's own polyethylene pipe grade.
Qenos Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Clancy said "Integrating this major recycled water project at our Altona Olefins site will result in additional savings of up to two billion litres of mains water each year. Along with previous water saving initiatives, our partnership with City West Water continues to enable us to reduce our usage by approximately 85 per cent."
"Water is no longer an endless resource. Everyone has to contribute to its future conservation. As an industry leader, Qenos has, since 2002, been committed to identifying and implementing water saving projects such as this to incorporate the use of waste water for non-potable purposes in our manufacturing processes," added Mr Clancy.
