Every system is designed for your specific wastewater characteristics, flow profile, and effluent targets. No off-the-shelf assumptions — just validated process engineering.
Equipment selected from manufacturers with proven field performance in similar applications. Duty/standby arrangements and robust construction minimise unplanned downtime.
Design targets are set at 50-70% of consent limits, providing a safety margin for process variation. Continuous monitoring and automated reporting demonstrate compliance.
Intuitive controls, clear instrumentation, and accessible maintenance points reduce training requirements. Standard operating procedures written in plain language.
Direct access to our process engineers for operational advice, troubleshooting, and optimisation. Remote diagnostics and rapid on-site response keep your plant running.
Materials certified to EN 10204 3.1, welding procedures qualified to ISO 9606, and pressure testing to 1.5x design pressure. Full traceability from mill to commissioning.

Pulp and paper mill effluent contains lignin, cellulose fibres, extractives, bleaching chemicals, and high COD loads. Treatment must address colour, toxicity from chlorinated organics (AOX), and high solids content while enabling water recycling to reduce freshwater intake. Our integrated solutions combine primary fibre recovery, biological treatment, and advanced oxidation for colour and AOX removal.
Save-all systems and DAF units recover valuable fibre for return to the paper machine.
Closed-loop water circuits reduce freshwater consumption by 60-90% in modern mills.
Advanced oxidation and anaerobic biological processes reduce chlorinated organics below discharge limits.
Specialised coagulants and ozone treatment decolourise effluent for receiving water protection.
