SITE AUDITS &
ASSESSMENTS
Why perform an audit of your effluent treatment plant?
A well-designed, effective industrial effluent treatment plant should streamline processes, cutting waste and complying with wastewater regulations.
If it is not performing as well as it should, this could be due to a number of factors:
Changes to regulatory compliance: Due to new powers given to the Environment Agency, failure to comply with discharge regulations can result in severe financial penalties - not to mention the reputational damage resulting from environmental pollution.
Treatment processes should be reviewed and updated where necessary to incorporate the latest technologies and methodologies.
Aqua Advice can help businesses reduce the risk of fines by helping them comply with wastewater legislation.
Inefficient treatment systems: A treatment plant that is not working optimally will result in raw materials and product lost in water and higher waste disposal, water and operational costs – all of which can have an impact on your bottom line.
Aqua Advice can identify areas within your treatment process where efficiency can be improved.
Aging infrastructure: Over time, components such as pumps, pipes, and treatment units may deteriorate, leading to decreased efficiency and increased maintenance costs.
A site audit will identify areas that require upgrade or replacement.
Expansion: Business growth often leads to increased wastewater generation.
An audit of your treatment plant provides an opportunity to assess its capacity and potential for accommodating higher volumes of wastewater. This is crucial for businesses experiencing increased industrial activities as it prevents overloading of existing treatment infrastructure.
Innovation: Innovations in wastewater treatment technologies continually emerge, offering more effective and environmentally friendly treatment options, including water reuse & recycling and innovative methods for treating heavy metals.
Assessment of your treatment plant can identify opportunities to adopt these advanced technologies, enhancing the overall efficiency of your facility.
