A UK craft brewery achieved 94% TSS removal (up from 78%) through CFD-guided contact zone redesign.
Multi-disc screw press cut copper tailings volume 68% and enabled water recycle above 85%.
Seawater DAF reduced TEP/AOM loading, extending SWRO CIP intervals from 30 to 72 days at 45 MLD.
Integrated DAF and biological polishing achieved 92% TSS and 75% COD removal with full compliance.
Containerised TBM slurry treatment with 95% water recycle on a 12 km metro extension.
DAF with tailored coagulation handled shear-sensitive protein-fat flocs for dairy compliance.
A process and control upgrade restored consent and capacity at an ageing municipal works.
A multi-stage train treated offshore produced water for compliant discharge and reinjection.
Tailored treatment handled variable, refractory pharma effluent to consent with validation.
Coagulation and oxidation removed dye colour from textile effluent for discharge compliance.
Two-stage automated pH correction stabilised a brewery effluent swinging pH 4–11 to a steady 6.5–8.0, cutting reagent use 35%.
Hydroxide precipitation with pH-controlled dosing took a plating effluent from 12 mg/L total metals to <0.3 mg/L for consent.
A multi-disc screw press with optimised polymer dosing raised cake solids from 18% to 24% and cut polymer use 20%.
Screw-press dewatering of DAF float cut a food factory’s sludge haulage volume by 70% and recovered fat for rendering.
An MBR retrofit doubled a works’ capacity in the same footprint and produced reuse-grade effluent at <2 mg/L BOD.
An MBR–RO train treated high-ammonia landfill leachate to discharge standard with 99% ammonia and 95% COD removal.
A bubble-plume destratification system removed hypolimnetic anoxia, cutting manganese and coagulant demand at the works.
Replacing failing surface aerators with an efficient fine-bubble grid cut energy 40% and restored BOD consent.
A reuse plant recovered 80% of a factory’s effluent to process-grade water, cutting mains intake and discharge.
Treating cooling-tower blowdown for reuse cut a power plant’s make-up water 50% and stabilised cycles of concentration.
A DAF with optimised coagulation cut a poultry plant’s FOG and TSS by over 95% for trade-effluent compliance.
An induced-gas DAF downstream of an API separator took refinery effluent oil from 150 to <5 mg/L.
A UV system delivered >4-log inactivation for a reuse scheme with no chemical residual or DBPs.
Compound-loop chlorination held a steady residual with 30% less hypochlorite and zero over-dose excursions.
A containerised treatment plant was deployed to a remote site in days, avoiding months of civils and meeting consent on day one.
A mobile DAF + dosing unit was on-site within 48 hours to bridge a failed works and protect the receiving water.
A lime-dosing plant neutralised AMD from pH 2.8 and removed 99% of dissolved metals for safe discharge.
Coagulation–clarification recovered 90% of coal wash water for reuse and produced a handleable thickened slurry.
An advanced-oxidation + GAC train removed >99% of residual APIs from pharma effluent ahead of discharge.
A redesigned RO/EDI pre-treatment train delivered reliable feed for Water-for-Injection with stable conductivity.
All performance claims are supported by independent laboratory analysis (COD, TSS, TEP, metals) from accredited testing facilities.
We do not report commissioning-day peaks. All case study metrics represent sustained performance over minimum 6-12 month operation.
Whether your challenge is similar to one of these case studies or entirely new, our engineering team can assess feasibility and propose a validated solution.
