During a scheduled Water Treatment Plant service in the Atherton Tablelands in late 2025, AquaManage carried out critical maintenance to resolve ongoing issues within the plant’s pneumatic system.
As part of the works, our team removed and replaced the existing solenoid rack, which had reached end-of-life condition, and installed new airlines throughout the system. Prior to the upgrade, the compressor was operating for an average of 45 hours during a 200-hour Ultrafiltration (UF) run cycle.
Following completion of the works, a review of plant performance data revealed a significant improvement. Compressor runtime over the same 200-hour operating period reduced to just 15 hours.
This improvement has delivered:
• Lower power consumption
• Reduced mechanical wear on the compressor
• Improved pneumatic system reliability
• Ongoing operational cost savings for the customer
This outcome highlights the value of proactive maintenance and targeted component replacement in extending asset life, improving plant efficiency, and delivering measurable performance gains.
At AquaManage, we focus on practical solutions that drive long-term operational improvements for our clients.
