Treatment planning

Early design of treatment steps for a plant or a town.

We frame treatment as a sequence of steps, size each one, and compare equipment on cost, footprint and ease of operation. Early studies set the direction before detailed design. We write them so an owner can decide.

Examples of our work

  1. Pre-design for a municipal treatment upgrade

    Compared screening, solids separation and dewatering options for a growing town, with a roadmap the council could fund in stages.

  2. Industrial pretreatment review

    Reviewed how a food plant equalized and treated its process water before discharge, and listed the fixes with the largest effect.

  3. Solids drying study

    Studied solar drying of biosolids as a low-energy alternative to hauling wet material.
