The first step is accurately gauging the total effluent volume and flow rate with a survey to size the treatment capacity properly.   In parallel, estimate if your production processes or volumes could expand, meaning greater effluent generation. The treatment selected must have adequate capacity.   Quantifying both the current flow requirements and potential increases lets us identify and design suitable treatment solutions scaled for your needs.   Reviewing Regulatory Requirements   Your jurisdiction’s environmental legislation likely mandates numeric limits for pollutant ..read more

Water treatment companies treat any wastewater entering their facilities, but large volumes of stormwater can overwhelm pipe capacities and treatment facilities during heavy rainfall and capacity events.   Excess water then bypasses treatment and discharges directly into waterways through release points known as combined sewage overflows (CSOs), causing river and ocean pollution plaguing communities across the country.   Ofwat’s September 2023 report finds that in 2022, just under half of England and Wales’s 17 largest water companies achieved their performance commitment level ..read more

Irrigated agriculture is an integral part of the rural economy, but increasing water use creates several challenges, not least meeting the food demands of a growing population while using as little water as possible to save energy. In this article, we’ll look at the key challenges for UK irrigation in agriculture, to shed light on what the industry must do to preserve itself. Greater irrigation demands Since 1990, irrigation abstractions have been falling because of changes in farming and license conditions. For instance, potato growing has halved in the UK over the last couple of decades ..read more

Get Your Free Industrial Water Guide Download The Guide To Water Filtration In Industrial Processes   Modern membrane technologies allow for the treatment of industrial wastewater solutions to be managed by an all in one system. Dependent on the water issue and the quality of water you want to achieve, multiple units can be combined to create a bespoke water solution for your industrial process. Industrial wastewater is mainly treated through the use of membranes; as water passes through, impurities are captured, leaving you with clean water to re-enter the water cycle or reuse in produ ..read more

Get Your Free Industrial Water Guide Commercial ultrafiltration uses standard low pressure to push water through a membrane to filter out contaminants, bacteria, viruses and parasites whilst retaining minerals in the water. Ultrafiltration is implemented commercially in a variety of ways, small kits can be installed under your sink at home to improve the quality of drinking water from your tap. It’s also used in a much larger scale providing remote villages, who otherwise wouldn’t have access to, clean drinking water.

As a society we are becoming more conscious of waste and harming the environment through incorrect disposals. Reducing water is not only better for the environment but can save you money and drive down operating costs. How To Reduce Water Usage In Manufacturing Many manufacturers can’t compromise when it comes to water usage. Especially when it’s used so heavily in not only creating the product but keeping ..read more

Every business that makes something on an industrial scale produces wastewater, sometimes at millions of litres daily. All that wastewater must go somewhere, but contamination can make reuse and discharge impossible.   The simple solution is industrial wastewater treatment, either on-site or off-site, to transform it into a cleaner product suitable for discharge or reuse. But who needs these systems, and why are they important?   The purpose of treatment   The main goal of industrial wastewater treatment is to remove solids, chemicals, and other pollutants to create cleaner wast ..read more

Forward osmosis (FO) is an innovative water treatment technology that uses a semipermeable membrane and natural osmotic pressure to separate pure water from contaminants and produce a clean water supply.   How forward osmosis works   In FO, a feed solution like wastewater flows on one side of a membrane, and a concentrated draw solution flows on the other with a higher salinity, creating an osmotic pressure gradient. This natural force pulls the water from the feed across the membrane into the draw solution. The result is a diluted draw solution and a concentrated feed solution. &nbs ..read more

Reverse osmosis is a solution that can reject up to 99.9% of bacteria. This is why its popular in industrial processes where there’s a variety of contaminants such as grease, oil, paint and chemicals. Read on to find out what RO is, how it works and what industries use it. What Is Reverse Osmosis?   Often referred to as RO, reverse osmosis is a type of water fil ..read more

Reverse osmosis is becoming an increasingly popular choice due to the fact it can remove more than most other systems. Sometimes a combination of systems are used, this depends on the quality of the water you have, and the quality you need to achieve for your specific requirements. Companies are becoming more aware of the impact their wastewater can have on the envi ..read more
