In both
the public and private sectors pressures
are greater than ever and to gain success
it is paramount that treatment plants are
not considered as non-profit making aspects
of a given process. In the face of tighter,
better controlled discharge consents a failing
process can mean shutting down a paper machine
or food processing line at a cost of many
thousands of pounds per day. Companies can
little afford this.
All too
often Aqua Enviro are called to site when
a plant or process is already failing consent
and excessive costs are being incurred.
In these situations Aqua Enviro are ready
to act immediately and attend site with
a portable sampling and analytical package
to discover the heart of the problem.
Once in
attendance Aqua Enviro liaise closely with
site staff to compile different viewpoints,
knowledge and data sources. From this initial
meeting the respective process stages can
be broken down into their simplest components.
The aim is to identify ‘plant bottlenecks’,
stages within the effluent treatment process
that are under performing or simply problematic,
to quantify the effects of these bottlenecks
and to put forward short, medium and long
term strategies to solve them. -This is
achieved by collecting existing data sources
and gathering new data to fill in the voids.
Typically Aqua Enviro
will attend site for approximately 2 weeks
at this stage and produce a formal document
indicating the various pathways forward.
Following this our involvement becomes less
intense, assisting in biological conditioning
of the plant via our remote management service.
