Plantwork Systems – Sustainable Solutions for AMP8
Robert White
Recognising its significant contribution to the UK’s carbon footprint, the water industry has committed to a target of net zero emissions by 2030.
Aside from all the most urgent issues facing CEO’s of water companies right now, delivering on the environmental commitment will require carbon impacts to be factored into current and future decision making wherever possible. Innovative, sustainable wastewater treatment solutions are urgently needed to meet the net zero challenge; a challenge that is particularly tough in today’s regulatory climate of increasing discharge constraints.
PWS products and processes are a powerful example of the kind of integrated solutions that are needed. We help deliver net carbon savings at the same time as significantly higher quality discharges to meet today’s tougher consent limits.
Our technologies create a fraction of the emissions of traditional wastewater treatment processes. Our unique sludge treatment processes also make a significant contribution to achieving net zero carbon through reduced energy use, reduced sludge volumes, smaller footprint, lower treatment and transportation costs and enhanced energy recovery opportunity.
NUTREM®
Unique, compact and efficient advanced Biological Nutrient Removal system offering industry-leading results. Requiring a much smaller footprint and consuming less energy than more traditional BNR systems.
CONVOX®
Innovative system for converting existing activated sewage sludge treatment works to Biological Nutrient Removal. Using CONVOX® we can remove phosphorus without any chemical dosing.
PURE SBR
Compact and flexible SBR plant capable of scaling to successfully treat a range of wastewater needs. Offering efficient, reliable and robust improvement on continuous flow systems, with proven benefits that make for a greener and simpler solution to a number of different wastewater challenges.
DE HOXAR SPIRAL SEPARATOR
Very compact gravity settlement device, maximising settled water quality whilst minimising wasted space.
Performs the same task as traditional settlement tanks, but requires as little as 3% of the space. It also has the added advantage of producing thickened sludge which saves the requirement for additional thickening equipment.
FILTRATION+
‘Plug and play’ filtration unit providing an effective additional treatment step for the reduction of Suspended Solids in final effluent. Easily installed within an existing plant to ensure the final effluent quality remains within consent and can achieve solids removal levels in excess of 70% with no moving parts.
