Wastewater characterisation, treatment design, and ZLD compliance roadmaps
Industrial effluent management covers characterisation, treatment selection, and compliance verification against discharge norms and ZLD mandates. Our work spans process water audits, ETP/STP design review, recovery/recycle strategy, and consent-to-operate documentation.
A practical, phased delivery approach — from gap assessment through operational embedding — built around your regulatory context.
Build effluent source inventory — process water, cooling tower blowdown, boiler blowdown, stormwater, sanitary; characterise per source (flow, pH, BOD / COD, TSS, oil & grease, heavy metals, specific pollutants per CWA 304 / EU WFD).
Design treatment train per influent characterisation and discharge limits — primary (screening, equalisation, oil / water separator API), secondary (biological — activated sludge, MBR, MBBR), tertiary (filtration, UV, ozone, AOP); align with EPA / EU BAT.
Prepare permit application per CWA NPDES (US) or EU WFD discharge consent — characterisation data, treatment system design, monitoring plan, contingency response; align with EPA effluent guidelines per industrial category (40 CFR 401-471).
Design online monitoring per Cl.NPDES Title 40 — pH, conductivity, flow, BOD / COD continuous or grab sampling; specify monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) per EPA / quarterly EU WFD reporting; align with QA/QC requirements.
Design zero liquid discharge (ZLD) or water reuse strategy per corporate sustainability — RO concentrate management, evaporator / crystalliser, beneficial reuse (cooling tower makeup, irrigation, industrial process); align with corporate water stewardship.
Design stormwater management per EPA NPDES MSGP / EU WFD — first-flush capture, oil / water separator, sediment basin, infiltration; design spill containment per SPCC / Seveso (EU); align with API RP 2003 (grounding) and EPA RMP.
