The Riverstone upgrade will be led by the North West Hub Alliance, comprising Sydney Water, John Holland, KBR and Stantec. The DuPont team from its Australia-based manufacturing site will work with the North West Hub Alliance to provide a MemCor™ MBR system consisting of 2,592 MemPulse™ B50 MBR modules, supporting a plant designed for an average flow capacity of 24.8 megaliters per day (MLD) and a peak wet weather flow of 86 MLD.

The Riverstone WRRF upgrade is a key component of the broader treatment infrastructure expansion across Sydney's North West region. Once complete, the upgrades are expected to significantly increase wastewater treatment capacity, helping to safeguard waterways while supporting future housing development in one of Australia's fastest-growing regions.
