Process Support
Specialised process support for your water and wastewater treatment plant.
Hydroflux can provide process support and assistance with many aspects of your water and wastewater treatment plant from plant optimisation, operation, performance audits, as well as training and other forms of education.
Plant Optimisation
Wastewater treatment plant optimisation is by far the most unrecognised asset in the operation of a wastewater treatment plant, yet it represents the single biggest opportunity for performance improvement and reducing operating costs.
Plant optimisation is not a new or even difficult process, but to achieve the best results you need to engage a business that has experience in the operation of wastewater treatment plants. Hydroflux engineers have this experience and will work through problems systematically and achieve the best results for your wastewater treatment plant.
Whether you are an industrial or manufacturing business, operating clarifiers, DAF systems or biological processes, there is a reasonable chance that not every process operation will be delivering the best performance at the lowest cost.
When you engage Hydroflux to conduct a plant optimisation audit, our approach is based on a proven procedure, that we carefully follow to ensure the most suitable operation procedure is established.
The Optimisation Process
Equipment Optimisation
We will review all the individual components in the plant and verify that the existing equipment is being used to its fullest potential by examining operating data and performance.
Operating Procedures
We will review the operating procedures which more often than not vary considerably depending on the person or the shift. We will then review operational manuals and conduct training to ensure consistency of operation.
Control Optimisation
In a wastewater treatment plant there can be hundreds of control loops responsible for controlling one part of the process, such as maintaining the dissolved oxygen level, chemical dosing rates or flow. There are often a number of control loops that are not properly tuned which can cause issues in performance or incur unnecessary costs. Hydroflux will conduct a thorough review of the control systems and make any necessary changes to ensure optimisation is achieved.
Performance Audits
Performance Audits by Hydroflux Utilities are a solution that helps businesses improve the efficiency of their wastewater treatment plants.
This approach involves the delivery of a comprehensive set of measures that will improve the performance of the plant and also, reduce operating costs.
Once the improvement program has been established, Hydroflux Utilities can undertake the works necessary to implement the program which often may involve adjustments to the operating parameters, replacement of parts or altering the chemical program.
The upgraded system, implemented as part of this program, will have a positive impact on your wastewater treatment plant and your business. By allowing Hydroflux Utilities to conduct the performance auditing of your plant, you will improve your ability to meet discharge requirements and potentially lower discharge costs, maximise the energy efficiency of your plant realise utility savings and decrease life-cycle costs and operational demands.
Our extended services can also include long-term planning to meet future regulations or investigate alternative or additional methods of treatment to allow for full or partial wastewater reuse.
Hydroflux Utilities has experience in all aspects of industrial wastewater and municipal treatment plants and you can be assured that a performance audit will have a significant impact on your business operations and costs.
Rental Equipment
Renting equipment allows you to access the latest technology without the high upfront costs and long-term commitment of purchasing. Whether you need temporary solutions for seasonal demands, emergency situations, or trial periods before investing in permanent systems, renting provides the adaptability and support necessary to ensure optimal performance and compliance with regulatory standards.
