Waste Water Management
The waste water your site generates is a major cost driver, so effective control and management of your site's waste water can bring major benefits in terms of cost savings. Producing less "waste water" is guaranteed to lower your water cost. Our team has decades of experience in the waste water industry, enabling us to identify and deliver cost reduction measures for your business in all areas.
The techniques our experts will use to help your business include:
- Bill Analysis to ensure correct billing, and ensure you are taking advantage of the appropriate tariff and allowances from your water company
- Identifying anomalies in area-based surfaced water charging and negotiating charges reductions with the water company
- Optimising water use on site to minimise consequent waste water generation
- Identifying ways to prevent waste water generation at source
- Sampling waste water streams
- Reducing strength and volume of effluents generated on site.
- Optimising the performance and minimising the costs of on site waste water treatment systems ranging from interceptors to full scale effluent treatment plants
- Identifying measures to reduce the discharge of chargeable effluent and/or surface water to sewer, for example by introducing additional treatment or investigating alternative disposal routes
- Sustainable Drainage Systems
- Rainwater Harvesting
- Alternative Sewage Treatment
- Implementation of solutions including civil engineering works and the design and installation of waste water treatment plants
Effective waste water management is also essential to ensure that your company complies with all relevant environmental legislation and it is an essential component of IPPC compliance and ISO 14001 accreditation. Our waste water expertise will also help you to achieve this- please see the Environmental Compliance section for more details.
