A clearer picture.
A better-performing plant.
Process auditing, chemical-dosing optimisation, monitoring and technical support tailored to your treatment works.
01 / Process auditing
Understand the whole treatment process.
A comprehensive process audit evaluates treatment performance, identifies weaknesses and recommends practical improvements. We consider process conditions, operating practices and the way each stage affects the next.
- Raw-water characteristics and seasonal variation
- Chemical selection, preparation and dosing
- Flash mixing, coagulation and flocculation
- Sedimentation, clarification and filtration
- Disinfection performance
- Chemical storage and dosing facilities
- Instrumentation and process control
- Sludge and wastewater management
- Plant water losses
- Operator practices and reporting
Recommendations should be technically sound, operationally practical and financially justifiable.
02 / Chemical-dosing optimisation
Use the right chemistry, at the right dose.
Treatment chemicals are a significant operating cost. Overdosing can increase expenditure and sludge production; underdosing can weaken treatment performance. We help utilities identify suitable chemicals and doses for prevailing raw-water conditions.
- Historical chemical-consumption review
- Jar testing and laboratory evaluation
- Coagulant and coagulant-aid assessment
- pH and alkalinity requirements
- Particle-charge and zeta-potential assessment
- Dosing-point optimisation
- Mixing and contact-time evaluation
- Practical operating and dosing guidelines
The aim is to achieve the required water quality with an optimum quantity of chemicals.
03 / Monitoring and process control
Turn process information into useful action.
Reliable information helps operators respond to changes in raw-water quality and treatment conditions. We support the selection and application of monitoring technologies appropriate to each plant.
- Zeta-potential measurement
- Streaming-current monitoring
- Turbidity measurement
- pH and alkalinity monitoring
- Conductivity measurement
- Chlorine monitoring
- Chemical-dosing control
- Process-data collection and performance reporting
Technology choices depend on the source water, treatment process, operational environment and needs of the utility.
04 / Operational improvement
Make existing infrastructure work better.
Our technical support focuses on the constraints that affect daily plant performance. We identify process inefficiencies and practical opportunities to improve the use of existing treatment infrastructure.
- Treatment-process stability
- Unnecessary chemical consumption
- Water losses within treatment operations
- Operating costs and treatment efficiency
- Process reporting and decision-making
- Operator guidance and knowledge transfer
Our purpose is to make treatment operations easier, more effective, more reliable and more economical.
