Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater Treatment PlantThe Wastewater Treatment Processes team at WRc is very well established with technical experts of international standing working closely with professionals specialised in process skills.

The Wastewater Treatment Processes team have developed a wide range of tools to better understand the underlying process issues that face our clients today. The overriding aim of our consultancy services is to provide practical solutions for both domestic and industrial wastewater treatment.

Currently, we are working in a number of areas including improved treatment efficiency through energy audits and benchmarking; control of Endocrine Disruptor Chemicals through treatment; optimised process design through process simulation modelling, pilot scale tests and process audits; and odour emission control through measurements of odour formation potential and dispersion modelling.

Our wastewater consultancy services include a suite of standardised assessments using porous pots, respirometry, toxicity tests, microscopy assessments, sludge gravity thickening tests, sludge viscosity testing, anaerobic digestions tests, and dewatering tests for polyelectrolyte selection. Our unique pilot plant and experimental facilities at Swindon enable us to carry out short and long term trials of novel and existing processes; our test rigs can be supplied with primary settled sewage or sewage effluent from an onsite sewage treatment facility.
