Peace of Mind

Regular pro-active monitoring of plant performance is essential to minimise environmental or health risk. Alpheus provides an affordable, high quality service that significantly reduces demands on your time and the risk of a failure of vital equipment, such as pumps or valves.

PPM visits carried out by our professional engineers will prolong asset life and reduce operational costs through better performance.  Regular monitoring of plant effectiveness, including continual telemetry monitoring will help ensure discharges remain within consent.

Routine work is scheduled in using the latest Mobile Communications packages ensuring our engineers locate the sites using Sat Nav directions minimizing call out times.  The PDA communicators are then used to process the routine work allowing immediate updates back to a central database.  Technology will now allow the customer to sign off work on the PDA.

A web portal can be arranged for clients to access information and assign jobs direct.

Our People

Our 24 hour nationwide emergency service is delivered by our network of experienced engineers.  These mobile crews supported by our in-house process expertise can help optimise efficiency, minimise plant downtime and improve compliance, supported by our in-house process expertise.


Pump Stations

Pump Station

Regular servicing of pumping equipment has been proven to extend the operational life and efficiency of equipment. 

Pumps are often located in wet wells and our service engineers are fully trained in the use of gas detection equipment, confined space entry procedures and all related health and safety issues.







Sewage or Package Treatment Plants

Treatment Plants
Treatment Plants
Often remote sites have no means of waste water disposal and in these occurences a sewage treatment plant will be installed to process the waste water before discharging compliant effluent to a water course or ditch.  Alpheus engineers are on hand to ensure that the plant continually operates within its designed consent parameters.  We can tailor a package to provide peace of mind with regards to operation of such plants.

We use our accredited laboratories to confirm sample effluent is compliant ensuring regulatory bodies typically the Environmental Agency (EA) are assured that the plant is operating within consent.

We have a vast experience and knowledge of numerous designs, makes and sizes of plants. 


Grease Removal

Internal Grease Trap
Internal Grease Trap
Alpheus can install and service various designs of internal and external grease traps and are able to offer a solution to any problem you may experience.

Why install a Grease Trap?

Oils, fats and greases pollute kitchen and food processing premise drains both internally and externally, causing blockages as well as providing a diet for vermin.  

It is vital to sites which operate their own sewage treatment system to remove these substances.

The Fatstrippa works by liquids lighter than water rising and escaping by means of a patented valve. Because the fats, oils and greases gather around the valve it is these that are removed as the valve opens. Correctly specified the Fatstrippa consistently removes fats, oils and greases to below 100ppm.

Fatstrippa is available in a variety of sizes to suit all commercial or industrial use.

Section 2.21

“Drainage serving kitchens in commercial hot food premises should be fitted with a grease separator complying with prEN 1825-1 and designed in accordance with prEN 1825-2 or other effective means of grease removal.”

External Grease trap Installation/Servicing

Alpheus offers customers piece of mind by servicing external grease traps with regular visits to ensure grease is removed allowing uncontaminated free flowing waste water to pass into the sewage system.






Interceptor Installation/Servicing

Interceptor Installation/Servicing
Interceptor Installation/Servicing
Have I got an Oil Interceptor? … These are normally found on petrol station forecourts, car parks and transport depots, basically any where were they may be the possibility of an oil/ fuel spill.  The units are easily recognized by three manhole lids which are evenly spaced apart.. often customers are unaware that they have one of these. 

Basically during the course of the year surface water becomes contaminated as oil residue from vehicles is washed away by rainfall.  This is one basic system that prevents oil entering the watercourse. 



It is highly recommended that these are serviced at least twice per year.  See guideline:

Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Valves

Reduced Pressure Zone Valves
RPZ Valves
Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Valves are required to protect potable water supplies from backflow contamination by the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999.  Alpheus are an approved installer and employ strategically located engineers trained (and accredited to an approved body), able to identify sources of backflow contamination, install and maintain RPZ valves.  As the Water Supplier must be advised and approve of any potential installation, Alpheus forward a copy of commissioning and annual testing certificates to the applicable authority. 
 
Typical applications in various industries may include: dishwashers, bottle washers, vegetable washing equipment, fire sprinkler systems, irrigation systems, commercial clothes washers (including laundrettes), laboratories, drink vending machines and breweries.


Pressure and Vacuum Relief (P & V) Valves 

P & V Valves
(P & V) Valves
Pressure and Vacuum Relief (P & V) Valves are installed on anaerobic digester covers or low pressure gas holders.

The relief valve maintains the digester system operating pressure, protecting the tank from distortion by increased or decreased pressure.  Alpheus installs P & V valves and conducts routine preventative maintenance; issuing certificates to confirm integrity.




Pressure Management (PMV) Valves

(PMV) Valves
(PMV) Valves
Pressure Management (PMV) Valves are used on water supply networks to maintain constant predetermined pressure downstream of the valve, and by controlling pressure reduce leakage and reduce water main failure. 

Alpheus’ capability includes the maintenance and calibration of network PMV valves, and experience of implementing scheduled maintenance programs.





Telemetry
