In an Australian-first, homegrown ‘superbugs’ are being used to treat

Queenslanders’ wastewater as part of a new green technology being unveiled by

Urban Utilities.

The bugs naturally clean waste in a way that significantly reduces chemicals and

power use, making the essential treatment process cheaper and environmentally

friendly. 

After 10 years of research and development, Urban Utilities is now introducing the

unique microorganisms – called Anammox bugs – to the state’s largest sewage

treatment plant at Luggage Point in Brisbane’s east.
