WA Water Awards Dinner 2019
There are a wide range of water treatment methods. Each one works quite differently and has a different set of applications. Choosing the right one depends on the water you are treating and how clean you need it to be. Below, we look at some of the common treatment systems available as well as OLEOLOGY’s unique treatment systems.
The WA Water Awards provides a unique opportunity to showcase the very best of our State’s water knowledge and successes, through the promotion and reward of the achievements of organisations and individuals who demonstrate leadership and innovation in the water industry. Come along and celebrate National Water Week and the achievements of the WA water industry at the Australian Water Association’s WA Annual Water Industry Awards Dinner.
