Support Programs

Flexible support packages from basic advice to full operation and maintenance.

Telephone & Email Support

Direct line to our process engineers during business hours. Rapid response to operational questions, troubleshooting guidance, and chemical dosing advice. Typically resolves 70% of queries without site visit.

Scheduled Maintenance

Quarterly or bi-annual planned visits include full mechanical inspection, instrument calibration, lubrication, and wear part replacement. Prevents 85% of unexpected failures through systematic care.

Compliance Auditing

Annual environmental compliance audits verify effluent quality, calibration records, and maintenance logs are regulator-ready. We identify gaps before the inspector does.

Operator Training

On-site and classroom training for new operators and refresher courses for existing staff. Covering process fundamentals, SCADA operation, chemical handling, and emergency procedures.

Spare Parts Management

Recommended spare parts list with critical, recommended, and consumable categories. We hold common parts in regional stock for 24-hour delivery. Emergency parts flown in for critical failures.

Full O&M Contract

Complete operation and maintenance by our trained technicians. You focus on your core business while we guarantee effluent compliance, equipment reliability, and operating requirement control.

Preventive Maintenance

Systematic care that prevents failures and maximises equipment life.

Scheduled Inspections

Weekly, monthly, and annual inspection checklists cover mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems. Findings are logged and trended to predict maintenance needs.

Lubrication Management

Grease and oil change schedules based on manufacturer recommendations and operating hours. Correct lubricants for food-grade, high-temperature, and submerged applications.

Instrument Calibration

pH, DO, flow, and level instruments are calibrated on schedule with buffer solutions and certified reference equipment. Drift trends identify sensors nearing end of life.

Chemical System Checks

Dosing pump diaphragm inspection, day tank cleaning, pipework blockage checks, and anti-siphon verification. Ensures chemical delivery accuracy and prevents overdosing events.

Blower & Aeration

Air filter replacement, belt tension checks, diffuser fouling inspection, and dissolved oxygen profile verification. Clean aeration maintains treatment efficiency and reduces power costs.

Wear Part Replacement

Mechanical seals, bearings, belts, and diffusers are replaced on schedule before failure. Predictive maintenance based on vibration analysis, run-hours, and visual inspection.

Technical Support

Rapid response when you need expert help.

Remote Diagnostics

Secure VPN access allows our engineers to view live SCADA data, alarm logs, and trend charts. Most operational issues are diagnosed and resolved remotely without waiting for a site visit.

On-Site Response

Emergency call-out with guaranteed response times: 4 hours for critical, 24 hours for urgent, 72 hours for standard. Our engineers arrive equipped with common spare parts and test equipment.

Root Cause Analysis

When failures occur, we do not just fix the symptom. Fishbone analysis, fault tree analysis, and 5-Why methodology identify the underlying cause to prevent recurrence.

Process Optimisation

Annual process reviews identify opportunities to reduce chemical use, improve effluent quality, or increase capacity. Small adjustments often deliver significant benefits.

Emergency Protocols

24/7 emergency hotline for environmental incidents, effluent breaches, and equipment failures. Immediate guidance on containment, bypass, and regulatory notification procedures.

Documentation Updates

Operating procedures, P&IDs, and O&M manuals are updated after every modification. Your team always works from current documentation, not obsolete versions.

SLA Tiers, Response Matrix & KPI Framework

Transparent, contractual support performance with measurable response times and equipment uptime commitments.

Support Tier Structure

TierResponse TimeOn-Site ArrivalAvailabilityTypical Scope
Tier 1 — Advisory4 hrs (email/phone)Not includedBusiness hoursDosing advice, alarm interpretation, SCADA guidance
Tier 2 — Technical2 hrs24–48 hrsBusiness hoursFault diagnosis, calibration, minor repairs

Tier 4 — Full O&M15 minOn-site resident24/7/365Complete operation, maintenance, compliance

Escalation paths are defined in the O&M manual: Level 1 (operator) → Level 2 (site technician) → Level 3 (R&B process engineer) → Level 4 (specialist vendor). Each escalation triggers automatic notification via SMS and email.

O&M KPI Framework

Our full O&M contracts include guaranteed KPIs with monthly reporting and financial penalties for non-achievement:

  • Effluent compliance: 100% permit compliance; any breach triggers root-cause analysis and regulator notification within 4 h
  • Equipment availability: ≥97.5% for mechanical plant; ≥99.5% for critical instrumentation
  • Preventive maintenance ratio: ≥85% of maintenance man-hours are planned, not reactive
  • Stock availability: 100% of critical spares held on-site; recommended spares within 24 h delivery
  • Training completion: 100% of operators trained to City & Guilds or equivalent within 90 days of handover

Maintenance Access Clearances

Minimum clearances are enforced during every maintenance visit: 1.0 m around pumps and blowers for seal replacement; 1.5 m crane radius over submerged equipment; 2.5 m headroom for diffuser removal; 0.8 m walkway width for chemical drum handling. Non-compliance is logged as a safety observation.

Spare Parts Criticality Matrix

We classify spares using an ABC-XYZ matrix: A-critical (pump mechanical seals, blower bearings) held on-site; B-important (diffusers, instrument electrodes) held regionally; C-consumables (grease, filters) bulk-ordered. X-high demand, Y-variable demand, Z-intermittent demand drive reorder points and safety stock levels.

Confined Space & Safety Protocols

All tank-entry maintenance follows BS 7909 and confined space regulations: gas testing (Oâ‚‚ >19.5%, LEL <5%, Hâ‚‚S <10 ppm), trained standby personnel, rescue tripod and harness, and permit-to-work signed by authorised issuer. No exceptions.

Planned Shutdown Scheduling

Major overhauls are scheduled during statutory shutdowns or low-production windows. We produce a 12-month forward maintenance plan with Gantt charts, resource allocation, and spare parts procurement triggers at T-90, T-60, and T-30 days.
