Rapid growth and development coupled with prolonged drought conditions prompted state and local government officials in Queensland, Australia, to launch the Western Corridor Recycled Water project, the largest recycled water project ever undertaken in the southern hemisphere. Playing a key role in the first phase is Koch Membrane Systems, a Koch Chemical Technology Group company. KMS will supply its advanced reverse osmosis systems to the Bundamba wastewater treatment plant. The desalination equipment from KMS includes MegaMagnum® spiral wound elements, the world’s largest commercially available reverse osmosis elements.
Combustion systems made by John Zink Company, a subsidiary of Koch Chemical Technology Group, LLC, reduce the environmental impact of refineries and other energy-related industries. The systems are used at Flint Hills Resources refineries in Minnesota, Texas and Alaska. FHR’s refineries produce 65 percent fewer criteria air emissions per barrel than the industry average among peer refiners.
