Agriculture Victoria, who have been undertaking research at the Ellinbank site since the 1950’s, have recently commissioned a Davey water treatment system that includes two separate UV systems, two separate rainwater tanks for human consumption, along with a Davey pump set on the dam. This water treatment system is managed by a Halo* Cloud based operating system.
“We’ve not taken a whole farm approach in a research facility setting before,” says Andrew Rathjen, BDM Water Treatment Solutions at ACQUA by Davey. “It’s so publicly accessible and having industry involvement in the project has been a really positive thing. The purpose of the system is to help improve animal health and efficiency and provide stable water quality for the whole farm by removing environmental factors and variation in water quality. So far it’s delivering good results – we can take clients along to show them how it all works and what our capabilities are.”
“Throughout the implementation process we worked with a lot of different stakeholders to address their requirements. The water treatment improvement is definitely the star of the upgrade and it’s great to see that Agriculture Victoria are supporting a local manufacturer and local innovation in this way,” says Andrew.

The system is treating dam fed water from ferresol soil, it is designed to treat 135,000 litres per day.
Key site issues addressed are microorganisms (like algae), turbidity and iron and running on 240/480v power.
