Products & Services
OUR WATER TREATMENT CUSTOMER-ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS (CES)
Here are some key aspects of our Water Treatment CES:
1. Integrated Water Treatment Plant Design and Project Management: We offer expertise in designing and managing water treatment plants for various applications, including industrial water, potable water, and wastewater treatment.
2. Front-end Design Packages: involves the initial conceptualization and planning stages of a water treatment project. This includes conducting feasibility studies, evaluating different treatment
technologies, and developing a comprehensive design basis for the project.
3. Water and Salt Balance Studies: to optimize water reuse and recycling objectives. These studies analyze the water inputs, outputs, and losses within a system to identify opportunities for
minimizing water consumption and maximizing recycling.
4. Pilot Plant Studies: Before implementing a full-scale water treatment plant, we may recommend conducting pilot plant studies. These studies involve building and testing a small-scale version of the treatment process to assess its efficiency, effectiveness, and operational parameters. Pilot plant studies help in fine-tuning the design and ensuring optimal performance before proceeding with larger investments.
5. Turnkey Projects: including “Build-for-sale” and “Build, Own & Operate” models. In the “Build-for-sale” model, CES designs and constructs the water treatment plant for the customer’s specific requirements, and then transfers ownership upon completion. In the “Build, Own & Operate” model, this CES not only builds and owns the plant but also operates and maintains it on behalf of the customer.
