Wastewater Treatment Applications Solutions and Consultancy

Technical and consultancy solutions for wastewater treatment applications.

Intertek Expert Services offers clients a worldwide network of technical experts to help achieve wastewater treatment efficiency, compliance and sustainable business success in highly regulated industries. To determine the optimal solution for wastewater treatment applications, Expert Services starts with a thorough analysis of the specific situation. If data is missing or cannot be calculated, we measure key parameters, or guide analytical work, as necessary.

Wastewater treatment expertise includes conducting treatability studies, laboratory testing and pilot testing, both in-house and at the customer's site; development of  EHS management systems; and aid in the implementation of Integrated Pollution Prevention Control (IPPC) conditions.

Wastewater and Process Off Gases, Waste Air and Flue Gas Projects: 

We have implemented a wide range of innovative wastewater and off gases, waste air, and flue gas treatment solutions tailored to the client's requirements. Our integrated approach considers both treatment and source control to deliver the most cost-effective solutions. Intertek expertise covers the entire cycle from situation analysis to commissioning. We evaluate the most effective technologies independently from equipment suppliers. Solutions and processes include a wide range of technologies such as biological treatment, membrane bioreactors, chemical-physical treatment and advance oxidation.

Our process off gases / waste air / flue gas projects include: the incineration of waste gases from production, the separation of inorganic gases from chemical production and biological trickling filtration for the treatment of airborne chlorinated compounds. Our know-how in this field helps clients to achieve a significant reduction of investment and operational costs through an integrated pollution strategy as opposed to end-of-pipe technologies.

IPPC - Integrated Pollution Prevention Control For The Water Treatment Industry: 

EHS Services has helped numerous companies and organisations across Europe to comply with IPPC and BAT (Best Available Technology) conditions. Conventional pollution control is costly and environmentally inefficient as it focuses primarily on the treatment of residues, otherwise known as "end-of-pipe treatment". End-of-pipe treatment is often necessary to comply with legal requirements. Even if source control has been applied efficiently, remaining waste streams may need further treatment either for safe disposal (solid wastes) or to reach legal limits for wastewater and off gases.

EHS Services deliver efficient pollution control solutions that are optimised combinations of source control and end-of-pipe treatment work services. Source control is often the most efficient measure, as this optimises production processes by reducing waste loads and disposal costs. Source control may lead to better yield, better product quality, more capacity and so finally to increased profit. We have achieved VOC reduction in large chemical production plants and ecologically efficient solutions that deal with ammonia problems at source.

EHS Management Systems: 

EHS Services helps clients develop and implement Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) management systems. These systems enable companies to meet a broad spectrum of international standards and guidelines, including ISO 14001 and EMAS. The EHS management system addresses a range of targets, including EHS area organization, improvement planning, certification and registration.

EHS Services carries out the following activities: 

• Setting the roles, responsibilities and the performance expectations to support the EHS management system
• Identifying weaknesses in the compliance management structure or process
• Performing compliance audits
• Conducting risk assessments and/or environmental impact analyses
• Identifying, communicating and satisfying legal and other EHS obligations
• Integrating the approach to managing EHS performance
