Located just 10 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, the facility supports Victoria\u2019s digital growth and innovation across cloud computing and AI infrastructure.<\/p><p>Purpose-built to deliver industry-leading reliability for critical government and business cloud systems, the facility has been engineered for hyperscale growth and high-density computing. The site\u2019s Tier IV classification reflects the facility\u2019s high level of fault tolerance and resilience, designed to support continuous operation of its high-performance servers, storage and processing infrastructure.<\/p><p>Data centres are considered high-risk sites that require hydrocarbon management due to the presence of fuelled backup generators, transformer substations and associated infrastructure.<\/p><p>With resilient power and cooling infrastructure essential to critical operations, M3 Melbourne relies on significant backup power infrastructure to maintain continuity during interruptions to conventional electricity supply. The cutting-edge facility features a 2.7MW UPS system, backed by Rolls-Royce engines with a minimum of 24 hours of fuel stored on-site.<\/p><p>This backup power infrastructure makes hydrocarbon management and spill containment an important consideration for regulatory compliance and sustainability requirements, helping ensure stormwater contaminated by light liquids and oils is effectively treated. In the event of a spill, the Spillceptor\u00ae is designed to guarantee retention in all flow conditions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5536425 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"5536425\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/RqQ4F6l4Kjw&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b2078c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3b2078c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3ff9a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a3ff9a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sustainable Outcomes with Multi-Stage Stormwater Treatment Trains <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb5e396 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb5e396\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Three of Atlan\u2019s locally manufactured fibreglass water quality devices were incorporated into M3 Melbourne. This multi-stage treatment train comprises primary treatment through an Ecoceptor Gross Pollutant Trap (GPT), secondary treatment through a Spillceptor\u00ae oily water separator, and tertiary treatment using FlowFilter.<\/p><p>The Ecoceptor GPT captures gross pollutants and prevents their conveyance to downstream tank systems and drainage. Intercepting litter, debris, and sediment, the device provides a critical first line of defence to protect local waterways.<\/p><p>The FlowFilter then provides tertiary stormwater treatment to further improve water quality before discharge. The SQIDEP-verified filtration system has demonstrated pollution removal efficiencies of 95% Total Suspended Solids (TSS), 93% Total Phosphorus (TP), 45% Total Nitrogen (TN), 90% lead, 53% zinc and 100% Gross Pollutants.<\/p><p>This multi-stage treatment approach is designed to meet the stringent compliance requirements of modern data centre development, meeting pollution removal objectives for gross pollutants through to finer suspended particles and hydrocarbons.
