Disneyworld Hong Kong Kept Clean By Headworks® MS Sereis Bar Screens

Children around the world dream of playing with Mickey Mouse or visiting Sleeping Beauty in her castle. This dream became a reality for many children in Asia last year with the opening of Walt Disneyland Hong Kong. This multi-billion dollar family retreat was built by the Government of Hong Kong in collaboration with the Walt Disney Company. They officially opened their doors on September 12, 2005.

The Disney theme park, hotel and resort were constructed over approximately 280 acres on Penny’s Bay, also known as Chok Ko Wan, on the northeastern Lantau Island. Although Disneyland is mostly about fun and games, people generally don’t realize that large quantities of water are required every day and significant flows of sewage are generated from its tourists, hotels, and restaurants. Thus, the development of water systems as well as wastewater treatment facilities was required to deal with these issues.

Headworks® Inc., the supplier of screens that serve the Florida Disneyworld park system, was selected to participate in three projects affecting the new development in Hong Kong. The screens handle both the water going into the park as well as the discharged effluent.

Headworks provided a total of six MS Sereis Bar Screens for two Hong Kong pump stations and one treatment site for the Disneyworld development. All of the screens are solid 316 stainless steel.
