Water Recycling

Water recycling has become the issue of the new millennium, with thousands of projects being implemented around the world.

Sydney recycles about 2.5 per cent of water, with a target of 10 per cent by 2020. Victoria and Western Australia, which already recycle more than Sydney, have targets of 20 per cent by 2012.

This shows the commitment of the Australian government to reduce the demand on drinking water supplies, as well as reducing ocean outfalls, reducing demand on centralized sewage systems, and offering a discounted supply of water to industry.

All over the world water has become a scarce resource that cannot be treated as a single-use item. The real cost of water has become more obvious in recent years, including cost of treating the water, the cost of dumping the treated water, and the cost of supplying the water. By recycling wastewater these costs can be reduced and a fresh supply of water offered as an alternative to drinking water.

Ioteq, Isan and recycling:

The Isan System allows water to be disinfected effectively without leaving harmful biocide residues in the water.

It also offers full audit capabilities, which other systems are unable to provide.

Isan can be controlled and monitored from anywhere in the world, offering maintenance and service operators the ease of remote monitoring.

Iodine is also far less corrosive than other existing disinfectant biocides such as chlorine. This, combined with the extraction of the iodine and iodine by-products, makes Iodine and the Isan system the most ideal disinfectant for water recycling systems.
