Water Management:
Wastewater Reuse and Recycle
We offer studies on how water
can be optimally reused and recycled in process plants.
The procedure has demonstrated large water savings in different industries.
New concepts used to perform these studies
- Water treatment does not have to be an end-of-pipe operation. It can actually be decentralized.
- Contaminated water can be reused.
- Contaminated water can be mixed with fresh water to meet process requirements.
- Decentralized treatment can be partial and targeting only a few components.
All these factors are considered using rigorous simulations
and optimizations to minimize cost. Our technology can perform
grassroots design and retrofit of water reuse in process plants.
It takes into account the existence of multiple contaminants,
geographical constraints and all capital and operating costs related
to the problem, including the treatment costs. Typical successful
projects and achieved from 25% to 60% water
intake reduction.
Services
- Assessment of water
misuse: We propose to obtain data from the different
processes (Contaminants, contaminant loads, etc) and determine the
potential savings through reuse. If the potential for savings is
not sufficiently attractive, then the project should be stopped.
- Retrofit
studies: Study the database of water usage for a window
of time chosen and determine the piping that is economically
worthwhile adding to reduce water usage.
- Daily
Operations: Specific software tailored to each site
to determine the water allocation pattern for the daily operations.
This service can also be provided through the Internet at a
low cost.
- We also asess
the financial risk associated.
