Wastewater Treatment Plant Audits and Analysis

There is an increasing focus on water and wastewater operations, as organisations with on-site treatment plants are managing rising water management costs, tightening regulations and ambitious targets for carbon reduction and energy efficiency. A comprehensive water or effluent treatment plant (ETP) audit can deliver significant financial and operational efficiency improvements, as well as resolve performance issues.

A plant audit can be organised as a standalone activity to address a specific goal or challenge, or it can form part of an ETP operations and maintenance contract. Our operations and maintenance clients enjoy the benefit of ongoing audits and analysis to continuously optimise plant operations and help them achieve their strategic goals.

What does a water or effluent treatment plant (ETP) audit involve?

‍

Whilst the audit and output will be tailored to your organisation's needs and objectives, the process follows a common structure to ensure your specific requirements are met.

‍

Agreement of brief and objectives.
Full technical review and analysis of water and wastewater treatment process and plant performance, incorporating relevant and available data from the client side.
Water audit report based on insight gathered, identifying opportunities for improvement.
Recommendations on next steps to address your objectives, improve efficiency and optimise the use of resources.

A comprehensive audit report can provide compelling evidence to gain the backing of senior management for optimisations or investment on-site.

Benefits of an audit of your water and wastewater treatment processes

An audit can begin with resolving a specific issue, but when properly undertaken, it offers further benefits. With insights from our in-house engineers and scientists, a treatment plant audit can drive meaningful cost, compliance, sustainability, and performance improvements.

Reduce Operational Costs and Improve Efficiency

Through the identification of inefficiencies in water, energy, and chemical use to reduce operating costs. Our audits help streamline treatment processes for long-term savings and consistent performance.

Enhance Resilience and Minimise Risk

Insights can drive improvements in the reliability of your plant and reduce the risk of failures or non-compliance. We help you build a more robust system that can adapt to operational or regulatory changes.

Support Sustainability and Net Zero Goals

Advance progress toward environmental targets by identifying opportunities to lower your water and carbon footprint. We help you integrate sustainability into core operations through data-led recommendations.

Maximise Resource Recovery and Reuse

Unlock hidden value by optimising for water reuse, energy generation, and material recovery. Whether upgrading existing assets or exploring new technologies, we identify practical opportunities.

Plan for Growth and Future Demands

Evaluating the capacity and flexibility of your current infrastructure to support expansion, paving the way to prepare for future production needs, tightening discharge consents, or new regulations.
