The Brolga micro water treatment plant
Designed to make decentralised drinking water safer, simpler and more visible

Small and decentralised drinking water systems are often expected to deliver the same safe water outcomes as larger urban systems, while operating with very different site conditions, resources and constraints.

Brolga, from Water Source, has been developed for these applications. It is a packaged micro water treatment plant designed to produce up to 30,000 L/day of safe drinking water from suitable non-potable sources.

With autonomous operation and embedded digital capability, Brolga is designed to manage treatment processes automatically while giving operators remote visibility, control and the operating data needed to understand and optimise performance.

Key Factors
Over
2 billion

people worldwide do not

have access to clean water.

Over
500,000

people die from drinking microbial-contaminated water per year

The Brolga can provide
30,000

litres of clean drinking water per

day.

Brolga
Integrated treatment - packaged for the real world

Inside Brolga’s robust outer casing is a complete treatment system designed for practical deployment in small and decentralised applications.

The unit brings together prefiltration, ultrafiltration, ultraviolet disinfection, pumps, sensors and control hardware in a compact, purpose-built package. Each element is designed to work as part of a coordinated treatment process, rather than as a collection of separate components assembled on site.

This integrated approach helps simplify installation, operation and maintenance, while supporting consistent drinking water performance in real-world conditions.

Brolga is easily transportable and can be connected to a standard mains power supply, with battery and solar options available where site conditions require alternative power arrangements.
