Wastewater minimisation

In a typical water management project, Environmental Management Consultants (EMC) will monitor the client's production processes and water use, and recommend ways of cutting water use or re-using water in production. Advice on trade effluent discharge and waste water treatment is also given.

Case study

BB Prawns Ltd manufactures sea food products for large retailers. EMC staff were invited to help design aspects of the client's new factory. The work focused on waste water management and water efficiency. The first stage of the project involved a drainage survey and waste water monitoring of an existing site in order to determine the manufacturing processes waste water characteristics.

Working with the building contractors the drainage system was designed to service the new factory layout. The drainage infrastructure was designed to minimise the creation of waste water pollution and thereby minimise trade effluent costs.
