V&A Waterfront — Cape Town
Dissolved oxygen restored across the yacht basin
Following a severe oxygen-depletion event, 75 Solari high-efficiency air diffusers were installed throughout the V&A Waterfront yacht basin, supplied by two roots blowers. The system delivered 750 m³/hr of air, with documented oxygen transfer of 1,650 kg O₂ per day.

Discover how Solari Air Diffusers introduce fine-bubble aeration to support oxygen transfer, mixing and circulation in wastewater, lagoons and other water treatment applications.
Boggabilla / Macintyre River — NSW
Raw-Water Aeration at the Source
Raw-water aeration was incorporated at the Macintyre River source before the water moved into downstream treatment. The project demonstrates how water-quality improvement can begin at the source, with aeration forming part of the wider treatment pathway.
Isisford WTP — Queensland
Drinking-Water Treatment
At Isisford, multiple treatments were brought together to address the requirements of the incoming source water. The project demonstrates how water-quality improvement can involve several processes working together rather than relying on a single treatment technology.
Eskdale — United Kingdom
Filtration for Drinking-Water Quality
The Eskdale project demonstrates the role filtration can perform. AFM filtration was applied as part of the treatment process, showing how filtration can support water-quality improvement where suspended material and filtration performance are important.

Explore OV AFM Filtration Technology
Discover how OV AFM filtration removes suspended material and supports water quality improvement as part of a wider water treatment process.
Landfill Leachate Treatment
At the Polmaise landfill site, a biological wastewater treatment plant was developed to treat landfill leachate. The project demonstrates how multiple treatment processes can work together where wastewater requires staged treatment rather than a single technology.
Oil Wastewater — China
OV AFM filtration has been applied across several supplied oil-wastewater projects in China. The intended endpoint was water reuse or reinjection, demonstrating the role filtration can perform as part of a broader wastewater treatment process.
Herreruela — Spain
Groundwater from tube wells serving Herreruela and Carcaboso presented water-quality challenges associated with iron and arsenic. These naturally occurring constituents within the source water require targeted treatment before the water moves through the wider treatment pathway.
AFM Filtration in Practice
See AFM filtration technology applied across a range of real-world water treatment environments. This video brings together several case studies demonstrating how AFM has been incorporated into treatment systems to address different source-water conditions and operational requirements.
AFM Filtration at Square Pharmaceuticals
Square Pharmaceuticals in Bangladesh required improved groundwater pre-treatment ahead of its reverse osmosis and UV systems. The existing treatment process was experiencing issues including iron, arsenic, turbidity and microbiological contamination.
Explore the case study to see the treatment requirements, system configuration and specified water-quality targets for the pharmaceutical facility.
Shire Sewage Pond Z-Filter Trial
A regional Western Australian shire used Z-Filter for sewage pond sludge recovery and dewatering in August–September 2015. The documented project recorded a filter cake solids concentration of 20.32%, demonstrating mechanical separation of sludge into concentrated solids and liquid filtrate under the site’s operating conditions.
