Australia Pacific LNG Project Floating Baffle
Project Overview :
Date: August, 2011
Location: Spring Gully, Queensland, Australia
Project Purpose:

To supply, deliver and install floating baffle system to increase retention times within the brine pond.

Features Summary :
Boom length:

 150 meters

Boom material:  UV Resistant 900gsm PVC
Float:  Closed Cell PE Foam
Ballast:  8mm Galvanised chain
Connectors:  Universal connectors
Project Summary :
  • Spring Gully is a coal seam gas processing facility operated by Origin Energy Australia
  • Water extracted from the coal seams during the drilling process is not immediately useable due its salt content. To combat this problem, the water is treated at a reverse osmosis plant which separates the water into a concentrated brine and a usable clean water stream which can be used for industrial and construction purposes, for irrigation and to supplement environmental flows in local rivers.
  • The installed floating baffle will increase the retention time of this brine within ponds allowing for enhanced treatment
