參觀水務署牛潭尾濾水廠
26 August 2006
牛潭尾濾水廠於2000年10月落成,是世界上最先進的食水處理廠之一,在美國環保工程師學會舉辦的「二零零一年環保工程卓越成就」比賽中,贏得「卓越成就大獎」。

牛潭尾濾水廠在設計上開創先河,採用活性碳粒子培植細菌,以去除水中的氨。該廠也是香港第一間採用現場製造的臭氧進行初級氧化及最後消毒的濾水廠。先進的臭氧注射接觸器,大大減低運作成本和氣體泄漏風險,因而贏得美國土木工程師學會 (American Civil Engineering Council) 的研究大獎 (Grand Award in Research)。

本會及香港房屋經理學會將於2006年8月26日合辦參觀活動,讓會員認識水務署嚴格的食水處理程序和水質控制、加深了解水務署的服務,以及取得本港食水質素的正確資料。
