Key Takeaways
DuPont's MemCor MBR system was selected for a major wastewater treatment upgrade in Canberra.

DuPont de Nemours, Inc.

The project will help the facility address rising wastewater treatment demand driven by population growth.
The LMWQCC, owned and operated by Icon Water, is the largest inland wastewater treatment facility in Australia and has been operational since the late 1970s. As part of its major upgrade in collaboration with Seymour Whyte and VINCI Construction Grands Projects, the facility will add a new secondary treatment process based on advanced membrane technology.

The selection strengthens DuPont’s position in the market, where demand for efficient and scalable solutions is increasing alongside population growth and infrastructure investment. MemCor MBR systems, along with MemPulse modules, have been deployed across hundreds of municipal and industrial installations worldwide, building a high reputation based on high reliability.
DuPont’s Water Solutions portfolio includes membranes, resins and complete treatment systems serving municipalities, desalination plants and industrial users across 112 countries. The project further demonstrates the company’s role in addressing growing global water-treatment needs.
