Process-water and tailings-water clarification, and mineral-recovery duties on mine-site operations. High volumes, remote sites, variable feed water.
Industries served
The Purus range is built for industrial duty. From dam and bore water to chillers, cooling towers, breweries and wash bays, the same vessel architecture and the same five filter elements solve different water problems. Below: where each vertical typically sits, and a reference trial site where one exists.
Each industry brings its own water profile and operating constraints. We’ve grouped the typical Purus configuration and a reference trial site (where one exists) under each. Imagery from real Blue Quest installations and field sites.

Process-water and tailings-water clarification, and mineral-recovery duties on mine-site operations. High volumes, remote sites, variable feed water.

Cooling water, boiler feed, and dam-water treatment for power-station operations. Particulate load, biological contamination, and operating-cost pressure.

Chiller circuits, process-water polishing, and OPEX-reduction projects across discrete and process manufacturing. Fouling, head-pressure loss, cartridge overhead.

Process-water clarification and waste-water treatment for breweries, distilleries, dairy, and food-production sites. Microbial control, consistency, and reduced consumables overhead.

HVAC make-up, plant-room water treatment, support for Legionella risk-management plans, and 6-star building requirements. Plant-room install, standard utilities, low-maintenance philosophy.

Wave-pool platforms, surf-park technology, and recirculating aquatic facilities. Water clarity, reduced biological load alongside your disinfection program, and uptime under recreational duty cycles. Low operating pressure keeps pumping energy modest.
Particulate and microbial pre-treatment for high-purity water trains in electronics manufacturing, protecting downstream RO and polishing stages. Purus does not remove dissolved ions; ultra-pure water requires RO, EDI and polishing stages.

Contain biohazards, prevent cross-contamination, and comply with discharge regulations. Ideal for healthcare, research, transport, and industrial wash-down. Safeguard health and the environment with specialised filtration.
Industrial water users in Australia face complex treatment challenges. Treatment for daily operations, process-water reuse, and discharge compliance — expert solutions for difficult-to-treat wastewater.

Collected rainwater for site re-use across commercial, agricultural and remote installations. Particulate clarification, microbial control, and storage-tank protection without high power draw.
Cooling is one of the fastest-growing industrial water demands globally — hyperscalers like Microsoft and Google have committed to water-positive operations by 2030, and the Sydney–Melbourne–Canberra build-out is concentrated in catchments already competing for water. The cooling-tower itself drives the day-to-day pain: scaling, biofouling, Legionella risk under AS/NZS 3666, and suspended solids that push blowdown and chemical dosing up. Purus sits in front of the tower as makeup pre-treatment, runs as sidestream filtration to lift cycles of concentration, or acts as the suspended-solids stage ahead of RO or softening on recycled and harvested water so the site can pull less from town supply.
The verticals above are where Purus has the most trial experience — not the boundary of where the platform applies. If your sector has industrial water-treatment needs and a real OPEX pressure on incumbent filtration, get in touch and we’ll scope it together.
Open the Filter Builder, pick the element and economics that match your site, and see what Purus delivers as an annual return.
