QGC Water Treatment Plant, Australia GE’s Advanced Technology Produces Beneficial Water from Coal Seam Gas Extraction

QGC, a leading coal seam gas producer in Australia, signed a contract with GE and Laing O’Rourke consortium for the construction of a water treatment plant to treat the saline water produced during coal seam gas extraction. The new Kenya Water Treatment Plant will use GE’s advanced membrane and thermal water treatment technologies to desalinate up to 72 million liters of water per day, producing water suitable for reuse in applications such as irrigation for farming and process water for industrial uses. The new water treatment project builds on an existing relationship between GE and Laing O’Rourke, as the two companies worked together on the recently completed Darling Downs Power Station, the largest combined-cycle power plant in Australia.
