The in-house costs for companies of running their own water and wastewater
treatment plants and pump stations continue to escalate. The headaches and
penalties for incorrect operation are becoming more stringent from the
environmental point of view. These are just two factors leading more and
more companies to consider the outsource of their treatment plant operation.
Depending on the type of plant in question this may be
on a once a year operational basis right up to the outsource of the
day-to-day treatment plant operational activities.
The cost-effective solution of outsourcing plant operation has clear
cost implications but there are other benefits in using an outside
operational resource. Our engineers are often able to recognise potential
problems with a treatment process or perhaps with a particular piece
of mechanical or electrical equipment so that an appropriate course
of action can be taken before the problem becomes an environmental
issue.
Also our experienced engineers may be able to identify areas of potential
cost-saving which may otherwise be missed, perhaps in energy or chemical
consumption or simply by more effective sludge management.
