We have maintained and improved several industrial water treatment plants with clients who are required to meet trade waste consent limits for their facilities along with construction sites who are discharging contaminated construction site run off.

These plants fall into several areas and often a combination:

pH Correction

Facilities which undertake Cleaning in Place (CIP) often have waste water with a pH above or below their discharge consent levels, as such some adjustment is required prior to discharge. These systems often need regular maintenance from instrument maintenance and calibrations through to monitoring of correction chemical levels. As local water authorities can often enforce large fines on facilities discharging outside of their consent levels it is important to ensure that these systems are operating correctly. We have many year of experience with optimising pH correction facilities to reduce chemical and running costs, if you have a pH correction plant or need such a plant then call us to discuss your needs.

Heavy Metal reduction

We have assisted clients over the years build and maintain plants to reduce heavy metal contaminants in their waste water to meet discharge consents. These same problems can also be present with some clients using ground or bore water to supply their facilities. The most common contaminants can include:

• Iron – causing staining
• Manganese
• Zinc
• Chromium

Similar to water pH often heavy metal levels can form part of discharge consent conditions or can be a requirement for using the water for processing. Often metal levels can be difficult to reduce however we have experience in several processes that have proven to be cost effective and reliable for our clients.
