Aqwest - Bunbury WA Nov 2009
Aqwest is a Western Australian State Government Statutory Authority
providing potable water services to the City of Bunbury. Aqwest aims to
achieve on-going success in the water industry based on service excellence
and compliance to statutory requirements while providing sustainable,
high quality water services at minimum long term cost. Maintaining
their water bores at maximum efficiency is integral to this. Waterwell
Solutions was contracted to provide pre and post camera inspections,
brush and air-lift of their Skewes bore and treat remaining
iron bacteria with BluBac Boreclean. Skewes Bore is 52m deep with
250mm FRP casing and 9m of 168mm stainless steel screen. Biofouling
from iron bacteria causes restriction of the bore water flow through the
gravel pack and screen apertures. more info (1mb PDF)
WA Maritime Museum
The WA Maritime Museum runs two bores for heat exchangers used
for air conditioning the museum. Each bore had 200mm casing connected
by approximately 100m of HDPE pipe to the two heat exchangers.
The bore water is essentially saline due to the proximity to the
Swan River estuary. After passing through the heat exchangers, the
bore water runs to waste back into the estuary. The water from these
bores has significant iron levels in it, possibly due to historical usage of
the dockyards. Biofouling from iron bacteria causes restriction of the
bore water flow between the plates of the heat exchanger resulting in
poor heat reduction and overworking of the air conditioning pumps.
Waterwell Solutions approached the Maritime Museum with a proposal
to use BluBac Xtra Boreclean to clean the heat exchangers and as well
as reduce the iron biofouling in the bore pumps and pipe infrastructure.

BluBac bore cleaner Rehabilitation Trial at Collie,
WA
Ultramatics in conjunction with Bunbury Drilling
Company and AGE Developments camera logged,
brushed, air lifted and BluBac-treated a badly iron
infected bore for Verve Energy.
Ultramatics was so
impressed by the product that they recommended
Verve Energy treat the rest of the bore field.
RAAF Bore NSW
AGE Developments used BluBac bore cleaner to assist a
local government water authority to restore this
250mm NSW bore to full capacity.
Parkes Eugowra Bore, NSW.
Another NSW local government bore. This was camera
logged, brushed and air-lifted then treated with BluBac
bore cleaner after achieving great results on a previous bore.
Here you can see BluBac being injected from the bulk
container without the requirement for handling.
Barwon Water, Victoria.
This iron rich bore was
camera logged, brushed
and air-lifted then treated
with BluBac bore cleaner
achieving great results
and restoring this 340mm
Victorian state bore to full
capacity.
