Waste management
& disposal

Waste management and disposal businesses ensure that waste materials are responsibly handled from the point they are generated, through to processing and disposal.  

In many cases, this involves reusing, recycling and redistributing materials that are no longer needed. As a result, this can help other businesses reduce their waste, save money, and leave a smaller carbon footprint.  

The wastewater generated by waste management and disposal businesses is often a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds, together with high toxicity levels. Treatment must consider potential impact on the environment, together with issues of water use and efficiency.   

Aqua Advice will work with your waste management and disposal business to identify the most effective industrial wastewater treatment solution to meet your compliance demands, protect the environment and operate both sustainably and efficiently.  

Bespoke treatment solutions to solve your wastewater challenges

Waste management and disposal generates industrial wastewater that requires specialised treatment and careful management.  

Aqua Advice can plan, design and install bespoke treatment methods to solve specific challenges, improving efficiency and ensuring compliance: 

Challenges

The challenge:

Industrial wastewater generated by waste management, treatment and disposal often contains a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds, requiring complex treatment solutions

Aqua Advice solution:

We can design bespoke treatment solutions using advanced biological treatment methods, together with chemical and physical treatment methods where necessary.


The challenge:

Suspended solids & oils are often present in wastewater, which can clog pipes and equipment if not properly removed, resulting in costly damage and downtime.

Aqua Advice solution:

We can design pre-treatment screening processes to remove large items: 

  • Screens catch solid objects. 
  • Grinders break down big particles into smaller pieces.  
  • Sedimentation tanks let heavy materials sink to the bottom. 
  • Oils float to the surface in special tanks, to be skimmed off. 

The challenge:

Depending on the type of waste being processed, untreated wastewater could contain organic compounds and/or toxic pollutants that could cause environmental damage if released into water systems. 

Aqua Advice solution:

We will identify the correct treatment methods for all pollutants, ensuring your business complies with strict environmental standards and avoidcostly fines.

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.

Protect the environment and your business against non-compliance

The complex nature of the wastewater generated by waste management poses a risk the environment if not treated properly.   

Untreated organic compounds, for example, can disrupt the organic balance of natural water environments, whilst heavy metal pollutants pose a serious risk to both the environment and to human health.  

What’s more, recent changes to wastewater legislation mean that businesses who cause environmental damage can now face huge fines, not to mention the reputational damage that can result from non-compliance 

Aqua Advice has the knowledge and expertise to ensure your treatment processes are not only compliant, but also responsive to any future changes in legislation.
