Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades

Refurbishing or upgrading your on-site water or wastewater treatment plant can be a cost-effective way to meet increasingly stringent regulations, environmental targets, and reduce mains water usage. With a spotlight on efficiency improvement and cost-reduction across both the public and private sectors, upgrades and refurbishments can help deliver measurable benefits in performance, together with energy recovery, water reuse, and increased capacity.

As part of the Anglian Water Group, Alpheus has extensive experience in designing and implementing upgrade and refurbishment projects to help some of the UK’s and Ireland’s largest industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants to increase treatment capacity, improve efficiency and achieve sustainability objectives.

Water and wastewater site management

As a business, you may know the exact specification you are looking for from an upgrade project, or you may simply have a goal in mind, such as reusing more water or energy on-site or seeking to reduce operating costs.

Our experienced team of engineers, project managers and scientists can work with you to propose a solution, and design and deliver your project in a cost-effective way.

Upgrade solutions for your treatment plant

One size doesn’t fit all, so we’re proud to be independent and able to offer the best and most economical solution for your business, as we’re not limited to a specific manufacturer. Typical upgrade projects could include:

Energy efficiency improvements

Our expert team of engineers and scientists conduct a detailed review and analysis of your plant to identify key areas to improve energy efficiency through reduced energy consumption or increased energy recovery, for example. Our service can range from providing a detailed report and proposal, through to design, project management and full implementation.

Asset upgrade and replacement

Aging assets are not only more likely to underperform, they can lead to increased downtime and higher energy consumption. We work closely to understand specific goals to propose, design and deliver a solution to address current and future needs, whilst avoiding disruption to existing operations.

Process and efficiency changes

Alpheus adopt an approach that uses industry leading tools and processes to achieve excellence in operations and safety (both operational and process safety). We are able to bring the expertise built through 30 years’ experience managing and maintaining some of the UK’s largest public and private treatment plants directly into your business.

Capacity upgrades

With increasing pressure to meet environmental targets, consent regulations and address future demand on operations, an upgrade can address these medium to long-term needs effectively. Our team of engineers can design, install and commission a bespoke solution based on your specific objectives, such as increasing on-site water recycling, energy recovery and water treatment capacity.
