SA companies help build $43bn Barrow Island infrastructure

water creation solutionsTwo South Australian water companies are delivering water creation solutions for Australia’s largest natural gas infrastructure project on Barrow Island in Western Australia.

Osmoflo is designing and building four sea water reverse osmosis desalination plants
for the Gorgon Project, which will be supported by Baleen Filters’ filtration technology for dewatering of backwash streams without the use of chemicals and with much less electricity requirement than conventional systems. The Baleen filter recovers visible matter from the process stream as a ‘natural’ wet mass, with minimal water retention.

The desalination plants will service the construction and longer term needs of LNG processing, including providing potable water for drinking and demineralisation water for processing. They require high specification design including cyclone rated equipment and strict environmental parameters using energy recovery technology, maximising the percentage of treated water that can be recovered from the seawater source.

These water creation solutions are helping preserve the unique biodiversity values of
Barrow Island. The Gorgon Project will develop the Greater Gorgon Area gas fields, located about 130 kilometres off the north-west coast of Western Australia. The $43bn project scope includes the construction of a 15 million tonne per annum (MTPA) Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant on Barrow Island and a domestic gas plant with the capacity to provide 300 terajoules per day to supply gas to Western Australia.
