Cleanaway will build a new ozofractionation plant at their Campbellfield site to treat PFAS contaminated water.
Background
Cleanaway will build a new ozofractionation plant at their Campbellfield site to treat PFAS contaminated water. PFAS are a group of chemicals that do not easily break down in the environment and can be harmful to human and animal life.
This will be the first commercial-scale plant built in Australia utilising ozofractionation technology. Volume of waste disposed to landfill generated through traditional GAC/resin technologies will considerably reduce by using the new technology.
Objectives
- Increase the recovery and local reprocessing of hazardous waste, and manage this material in line with the waste hierarchy.
- Increase economic development opportunities such as jobs, economic performance and growth of hubs.
