Case Study: Seqwater restores Esk water filter performance with Pensar's refurbishment solution

Seqwater refurbishes Esk water filter in 5 months with Pensar

Seqwater faced a challenge at its Esk Water Treatment Plant where a critical water filter was in poor condition, causing the plant to underperform and threatening future water supply. With strict time constraints and a lack of prior condition assessments or as-built drawings, the utility needed a solution to refurbish the filter without disrupting normal water production. They engaged vendor Pensar for its infrastructure rehabilitation services.

Pensar implemented a solution by first refurbishing a spare filter to act as a temporary replacement, allowing the main filter to be taken offline. The team executed extensive steel repairs, full blasting and coating, and installed new filter media and components. Through close collaboration with Seqwater operations and a proactive approach to problem-solving, Pensar completed the project within the expected timeframe. The refurbishment was a success, resulting in no impact to normal plant production and restoring the filter's performance to meet required specifications.
