DuPont (NYSE: DD) announced that its MemCor membrane bioreactor system has been selected for upgrades at the Riverstone Water Resource Recovery Facility in Sydney, Australia.

The North West Hub Alliance, which includes Sydney Water, John Holland, KBR and Stantec, will lead the Riverstone upgrade project. DuPont will provide a MemCor MBR system consisting of 2,592 MemPulse B50 MBR modules from its Australia-based manufacturing site.

The system will support a plant designed for an average flow capacity of 24.8 megaliters per day and a peak wet weather flow of 86 megaliters per day. The upgrade is part of broader treatment infrastructure expansion across Sydney's North West region.

"Projects like Riverstone demonstrate how collaboration across utilities, the North West Hub Alliance and technology providers can help communities plan for growth while protecting vital water resources," said Matthew Dick, Business Development & Sales Manager at DuPont Water Solutions.

MemCor MBR systems integrate biological treatment with membrane filtration to provide effluent treatment within a compact footprint. The technology is designed for municipal upgrades where performance, reliability and space efficiency are required.

The Riverstone facility upgrade aims to increase wastewater treatment capacity to support future housing development in the region while protecting local waterways.

DuPont Water Solutions operates water purification technologies in 112 countries, processing more than 50 million gallons of water per minute globally. The company offers technologies for water treatment municipalities, seawater desalination plants, and industrial water users.
