Sydney Water's Mike Watts, Ian Payne and Susan Trousdale led the desalination project. The reverse osmosis hall is where seawater is forced at high pressure through thousands of reverse osmosis membranes to extract freshwater. The desalination pipeline across Botany Bay is the world’s largest twin pipes installed underwater using a lay barge. Wind turbines at Capital Wind Farm, at Bungendore, near Queanbeyan, offset the energy needs of the desalination plant.
