Plant layouts, piping isometrics and construction-ready engineering drawings.
Flow, mixing and thermal CFD across treatment and process equipment.
Full mechanical, physico-chemical, biological and sludge equipment range.
Automotive facilities generate wastewater from vehicle washing, parts cleaning, coolant systems, and manufacturing proce
BOD and COD levels typically 5-50x domestic sewage depending on product type and cleaning frequency. High-strength streams benefit from anaerobic pre-treatment and biogas recovery.
TSS from 200-5,000 mg/L including product residue, soil, and cleaning agents. Screening, DAF, and sedimentation remove bulk solids before biological treatment.
Hot wastewater from CIP, pasteurisation, and process discharge can reach 60-80°C. Heat recovery or cooling may be required to protect biological treatment stages.
Acidic and alkaline cleaning cycles create pH swings of 4-10 units. Equalisation and automated neutralisation are essential for biological process stability.
FOG content from 50-1,000 mg/L causes pipe blockage and process failure. Effective pre-treatment with DAF or lamella separation prevents downstream operational issues.
Nitrogen and phosphorus from proteins and cleaning chemicals can cause eutrophication if discharged untreated. Biological nutrient removal or chemical precipitation addresses this.
Our automotive pre-treatment systems include oil-water separators for removing free oils, DAF flotation for emulsified o
Comprehensive analysis of wastewater volume, quality, temperature, and variability informs process selection and equipment sizing for optimal performance.
Treatment train selected from screening, DAF, biological, filtration, and disinfection options based on effluent targets, footprint, and Capital expenditure constraints.
Materials, pumps, blowers, and instruments specified for the specific duty conditions, chemical environment, and operational maintenance capabilities.
PLC-based control with online monitoring automates chemical dosing, aeration, and sludge withdrawal. Remote access provides 24/7 oversight.
Site acceptance testing verifies mechanical, electrical, and process performance. Operator training ensures confident day-to-day management.
Contractual effluent targets with financial backing demonstrate our confidence. Monthly reporting proves continuous compliance for regulators and stakeholders.
Treated wash water can often be recycled for vehicle washing, reducing freshwater consumption and wastewater discharge v
Tertiary-treated effluent suitable for cooling towers, washdown, irrigation, and process make-up. Reduces freshwater consumption by 30-70% with appropriate treatment.
Anaerobic treatment of high-COD waste produces 0.35-0.45 m³ biogas per kg COD removed. Can displace 15-30% of natural gas in boilers or generate electricity via CHP.
Concentrated protein streams from rendering and processing can be recovered for animal feed or fertiliser. Screening and DAF concentrate solids for valorisation.
CPI and DAF separators recover valuable fats and oils from wastewater. Recovered tallow and grease have commercial value for biofuel and oleochemical industries.
Treated effluent with controlled nutrient content can be applied to agricultural land as fertiliser. Requires nitrogen and phosphorus balancing to prevent over-application.
Resource recovery outputs and reduced disposal requirements can reduce treatment overheads by 10-30%. Detailed feasibility studies quantify performance targets before investment.

View PageIndustrial pre-treatment protects municipal sewer networks, enables water reuse, and ensures compliance with trade effluent consents. Our engineered pre-treatment trains combine screening, oil separation, chemical precipitation, and pH correction to condition wastewater before discharge or further biological treatment. Each system is sized for peak flows and shock loads typical of your industrial sector.
Removes solids that could damage pumps, block pipework, or settle in sewers.
API separators, coalescing plate packs, and DAF units remove free and emulsified oils.
Coagulation and flocculation remove heavy metals, phosphates, and colloidal solids.
Automated acid/alkali dosing neutralises extreme pH to protect downstream biology.
