Water projects: treatment, reuse and ZLD

Every wastewater stream is different, which is why off-the-shelf solutions fail at start-up. We characterise the water, select the treatment train on technical grounds and design the plant to meet the discharge limit consistently.

What's included

• Characterisation of streams and treatability testing where needed.
• Selection and sizing of the physical, chemical and biological treatment train.
• Design of industrial and municipal treatment plants and upgrades of existing works.
• Reuse and reclamation solutions, and zero liquid discharge schemes.
• Management of sludge, rejects and concentrates, with outlet and cost identified.
• Documentation for the discharge permit and for commissioning.

When you need it

• You are not meeting your discharge limit or the conditions have been changed.
• You want to reuse water to cut consumption or to secure supply.
• A production increase exceeds the capacity of the existing treatment plant.
• The existing plant costs more to run than expected and nobody knows why.

How we work

We run trials before sizing when the water is complex, because a badly chosen treatment train cannot be corrected by operation. Sludge and concentrates are resolved in the design: that is where the cost nobody foresaw concentrates.
