When something upsets an industrial wastewater treatment system, the impacts can be severe.
If your plant inadvertently fails to meet discharge limits, you could damage the local environment – and your reputation – while incurring higher costs from third-party treatment or penalties. You even risk losing your license to operate.
The problem is, it’s often difficult to detect the cause of such issues. And even if you know the source of the problem, such as a recent production expansion, you may not know how to solve it.
Our Troubleshooting service helps you understand and rectify problems – while preventing future issues – by identifying root causes and suggesting actions. We assess your technical and operational data to understand the plant’s treatment system and processes, while checking the capacity it should be able to handle.
We compare the quantity and characteristics of influent from the factory with the treated effluent and applicable discharge limits. We also look for gaps in your operations by investigating any manual faults in the factory and checking that staff are taking the right samples.
Then we build an action plan based on your criteria, objectives, and future challenges. Our recommendations could include anything from renting equipment for sludge treatment to modifying the system so it can handle the load.
Our Troubleshooting service not only ensures your plant remains compliant, but also gives you more control to help you manage operational risk, optimise performance, and reduce costs. And if you need longer term support for new processes and technologies, we can also help with our Operational Support service.
Your first step on the journey to operational excellence
We help you strengthen the knowledge of your teams in two ways. The plant assessment phase is highly interactive and works like on-site training – this ensures your staff understand and support the action plan, which greatly increases the chances of success. We will also train new staff as part of an ongoing operational support contract.
Troubleshooting averts the often-severe impacts from an upset to your plant’s treatment system by giving you insight into the cause so you can correct the problems and prevent future issues.
