Process design converts characterised influent and discharge requirements into a defined treatment train. It is the stage where performance, footprint and operating requirement are fixed, so it is engineered from first principles rather than templated.
Single-point design-build delivery of complete water and wastewater treatment plants.
Coordinated 3D models for layout, clash detection and constructability.
Control system design, programming and integration for reliable, instrumented plants.
Sampling and analysis establish the design basis: flow profile, BOD/COD, solids, nutrients, pH, temperature and any priority pollutants that govern the train.
Where the matrix is novel, jar tests and bench trials confirm coagulant demand, biological treatability and achievable effluent quality before commitment.
A full mass and water balance fixes loadings on every unit, sludge production and recycle streams, underpinning equipment sizing.
Screening, DAF, biological, membrane and dewatering stages are selected and sequenced against the design basis and site constraints.
Each unit is sized to design and peak loadings with appropriate redundancy, setting hydraulic and process margins.
Piping and instrumentation diagrams capture the process, instrumentation and control philosophy that the later stages build upon.
A documented design basis, assumptions and guarantees that anchor the project.
PFDs and P&IDs defining streams, equipment and control loops.
A sized equipment list and duty schedule feeding detailed engineering and procurement.
Reynolds & Bauhm delivers this scope as part of an integrated, single-point engagement matched to your project, programme and regulatory regime.
