Bespoke treatment solutions to solve your wastewater challenges
Automotive and aerospace production facilities produce wastewater that requires specialised treatment and careful management, due to its industry-specific properties.
Using our experience of the industries, we can plan, design and install bespoke treatment methods to solve specific challenges, improving efficiency and ensuring compliance:
Challenges
The challenge:
Wastewater contains oils, and grease, hydrocarbons, flammable liquids, suspended solids, coolants and radiator fluids, heavy metals like cadmium, copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and chromium, and a mix of organic and inorganic pollutants.
Aqua Advice solution:
We will identify the correct treatment methods for pollutants, ensuring you comply with strict environmental standards and avoid costly fines.
The challenge:
Water is essential at nearly every stage of vehicle manufacturing, including painting, coating, component fabrication, and tire manufacturing, resulting in concerns about water scarcity and environmental impact.
Aqua Advice solution:
We can design and install treatment plants that to minimise water usage and treat wastewater to a high standard, enabling water reuse in manufacturing processes and reducing your overall water demand.
The challenge:
Processes like painting, coating, component fabrication, and tire manufacturing produce high volumes of wastewater, increasing the risk of equipment corrosion, higher chemical costs and system failures.
Aqua Advice solution:
We will assess your treatment processes to identify opportunities for improve long-term operational efficiency.
The challenge:
Different treatment processes can hinder overall efficiency. For example, oils and greases can clog filtration systems or membranes, reducing their effectiveness and leading to costly damage and downtime.
Aqua Advice solution:
We will plan and design your treatment plant to avoid system disruptions and ensure optimal performance.
Our Industries
Industrial wastewater: facing the challenges
Industrial wastewater treatment experts Aqua Advice have the experience, knowledge and skills to assess and implement the treatment needs of any business, big or small…
Innovative treatment solutions for heavy metal pollutants
Heavy metal pollutants found in wastewater produced by the automotive and aerospace industries, such as lead, zinc, and chromium, pose a significant risk to human health and the environment if improperly treated.
What’s more: to reduce the impact of metals in our water systems, the Environment Agency has lowered the consent to discharge levels for heavy metals. They can also now impose larger fines and have greater powers to enforce them.
As a result, businesses that commit an environmental offence now risk a potentially huge fine, not to mention the reputational damage associated with wastewater pollution.
Aqua Advice can help protect your business against non-compliance with our innovative methods for heavy metal treatment.
Opportunities for water recycling and reuse
Proper wastewater treatment not only ensures compliance with environmental standards but also enables water recycling, reduces your overall water consumption and minimising operational costs.
Using advanced technologies, we can optimise your existing, upgraded or new treatment plant to make your treated wastewater safe for recycling and reuse.
