Treatment process review
Assess existing or proposed treatment against wastewater characteristics, constraints, and performance targets.
Industrial wastewater
Industrial wastewater management & AnMBR consultancy
Specialist support for high-strength industrial effluent — anaerobic membrane bioreactor design and review, fouling control, treatment performance, and resource recovery.
The challenge
High-strength effluent is a treatment and a resource problem at once.
Food, beverage, and process industries generate wastewater that is hard to treat, expensive to discharge, and increasingly subject to tighter limits — but it also holds recoverable energy and water.
Done well, treatment isn't just compliance — it turns a disposal cost into recovered biogas, reusable water, and a more stable process.
What we do
From process review to a treatment strategy that holds up.
Anaerobic membrane bioreactor insight
Design thinking, operating strategy, and troubleshooting for submerged AnMBR systems treating high-strength streams.
Membrane fouling control
Characterise cake-layer fouling mechanisms and set flux, shear, and cleaning strategy for stable long-term operation.
Biogas & resource recovery
Evaluate biomethane recovery, energy balance, and water reuse to improve the economics of treatment.
Performance & monitoring
Interpret operational and analytical data to find instability, risk, and opportunities for improvement.
Feasibility & scale-up
Bench and pilot evaluation to de-risk decisions before committing to full-scale investment.
Systems & topics we cover
Deep, hands-on AnMBR and high-strength wastewater experience.
Submerged AnMBR (SAnMBR)
Anaerobic treatment with submerged membranes for high-strength industrial effluent.
Ceramic ultrafiltration membranes
Robust membrane options for demanding wastewater and long service life.
High-strength & abattoir wastewater
Treatment strategy for concentrated organic loads and difficult matrices.
Biomethane recovery
Energy recovery and microbial community dynamics for stable digestion.
Cake-layer fouling mechanisms
Using fouling behaviour to estimate design parameters and control flux decline.
Resource & water recovery
Turning treated effluent and by-products into reusable resources.
