Two separate sessions (Tues and Wed) will be run to keep the group relatively small. This will help ensure all participants have the opportunity to conduct their own bench testing.

  • Which flocculant is best for your site?
  • Are you confident to “clean” sediment-laden water captured in your site’s sediment trap before release to comply with the rules and prevent fines?
  • Do you know the difference between a flocculant and a coagulant?
  • Do you know what to use, how and why to use flocculants?
  • Learn about automatic dosing and high efficiency sediment basins.
  • Learn about eco-toxicity and safety considerations for using various chemicals to treat stormwater.
  • Learn about various flocculants and coagulants on the market, their pros and cons, and observe demonstrations (how to use each, plus common mistakes).

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the above topics. They will also get the chance to undertake bench testing themselves and then participate in our larger scale floccing demonstrations after lunch.

We invite participants to bring their own soil sample (minimum 500g). You will use this to create dirty water which you will then be able to bench test to determine suitable flocculant(s) and dosing rates.

The session will include a presentation by an RMS representative regarding recent changes to their de-watering guidelines plus their discussions with the EPA about safe use of chemicals to treat dirty water.

Morning tea and lunch is included. Places are strictly limited so book early to avoid disappointment!

In delivering this event, IECA Australasia gratefully acknowledges the support of Ventia Boral Amey Joint Venture (VBAJV) and NSW Roads and Maritime Services.
