Expertise to increase operations efficiency and sustainability while lowering costs
Deep experience in water and wastewater treatment process design, analysis and operations troubleshooting to enhance operations performance, eliminate toxic contaminants, mitigate corrosion, scaling and fouling damage and, enhance useful asset life
OVERVIEW
The lack of appropriate tools and relevant insights limits the effective design and operations of equipment and processes
Lack of deep understanding of water chemistry behavior and the ability to effectively understand the mass and energy balance during process operations results in inefficiencies in design and operations. Lack of knowledge of the multi-component behavior of heavy metals and toxic contaminants results in poor compliance with environmental regulations. Poor asset integrity created by scaling, fouling and corrosion and sub-optimal materials selection result in higher operating costs.
APPLICATIONS
Increase operations efficiency and ensure compliance with environmental regulations
The ability to characterize complex chemistry behavior and water treatment process dynamics under a wide range of operating conditions coupled with deep domain knowledge of applications and industry domain knowledge unlocks significant business value.
Designed an industrial waste water treatment plant in the Middle East including lime softening, RO and ozonation where the desalinated water included potable and gray water.
Mitigated scaling risk and reduced costs with an industrial wastewater treatment plant design that produced controlled, environmentally compliant precipitation.
Designed a water treatment plant for a food and beverage company that was optimized for successful removal of bio nutrients from the water before it was discharged to the environment.
Enabled a client to obtain regulatory approval for their development project rapidly and at lower cost by demonstrating that their development would be water self-sufficient.
Analyzed scale build up in a waste acid injection well and optimized the design to maintain the waste acid in an acidic form such that no metal salts would precipitate before reaching the oil field reservoir.
