Industrial Water & Wastewater
Industries cope with a range of evolving regulations that are becoming increasingly stringent, while also seeking to reduce generated waste and manage soaring costs. From studies, engineering evaluations, design and permitting to construction and operations management, our integrated industrial water and wastewater team can help you solve your unique project challenges.
Our team’s diverse experience encompasses industries where water use and wastewater management are key to successful operations. We apply our technical understanding of each industry’s water and wastewater challenges and nuances to help you achieve your site-specific goals in performance optimization, operator training, system startup, and operations and maintenance training. We work independently of vendors and manufacturers to help you reach your best solution.
As the demand for renewable energy sources continues to increase, the use of steam methane reformation to produce hydrogen presents challenges to industrial clients. Considerations must be made to evaluate the autothermal reforming process, determine if carbon capture is possible — and evaluate its potential costs and benefits — identify where to produce hydrogen, select necessary equipment, target a water supply, and assess wastewater discharge requirements and treatment options, including potential reuse opportunities and cooling water requirements.
Aerospace, Federal & Manufacturing
Our team has technical experience working with aerospace, federal and manufacturing clients to design and build the water and wastewater systems they need as well as the facilities themselves. Our diverse capabilities include tank replacements, membrane treatment plants, groundwater systems and plant upgrades for airline, military and manufacturing clients. We complete your projects through your preferred delivery method, whether conventional design-bid-build, design-build or engineer-procure-construct (EPC). We offer a project team that not only has a technical know-how to perform the project but also understands your big picture vision for the project. Our team’s diverse capabilities and problem-solving mindset brings a full spectrum of solutions to your project.
Oil, Gas & Chemicals
Whether your requirements include complex process changes, regulatory compliance, reuse technology integration or any combination of needs, we combine our experience in the design and construction of industry facilities with our water and wastewater experience. We understand both sides of the equation. We execute your project with efficiency and technical skill, whether you choose traditional project delivery or engineer-procure-construct (EPC). We are your problem solvers, helping you find custom water and wastewater solutions that fit your operation. We can help you address compliance challenges with Benzene Waste Operations National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), also known as BWON. Our team can assist with potential solutions, including induced gas flotation units, oil/water separators, flash columns, benzene strippers and benzene emission controls. We have experience helping refineries address compliance challenges under confidentiality agreements and alternative compliance plans (ACPs).
Electric Power Generation
Water and energy systems are interdependent. The pressures of the ever-increasing need for water in energy production — and for energy in delivering and treating water — require innovative thinking to avoid crisis. Known as the water-energy nexus, this interdependency challenges forward-thinking utilities to find efficiencies within and around their power generation sites. In the wake of the EPA’s Effluent Limitations Guidelines (ELG), utilities must examine water treatment solutions. We have a team of experienced professionals dedicated to identifying the water alternative that fits your plant, your situation, and your needs. Our focus is on customized water solutions, not generic, proprietary solutions. From fleet master planning to water reuse to ash pond retrofit and closure, we can help you evaluate your water profile and develop an effective water solution.
Food & Consumer Products
Because water is integral to your process, your water management, treatment, residuals, permitting and compliance are critical. We help design and build manufacturing lines and facilities, so we understand how to correct water and wastewater issues in efficient, effective and cost-effective ways. From membrane bioreceptors for water reuse to biological processes to toxicity reduction evaluations, we work with you to develop processes that manage your resources, meet regulatory expectations and overcome profitability pressures. In the past five years, our wastewater engineers have completed nearly 1,000 projects, applying our efficient, problem-solving approach to planning, design and construction solutions that fit each project.
