Our marine sector experience

The discharge of sewage and grey water from vessels is coming under tighter scrutiny and stricter regulations, putting pressure on the performance of sewage treatment systems. Our work in the marine sector is primarily focussed on the provision of expert process advice on the performance, operation and optimisation of sewage treatment systems to ensure compliance with Annex IV of the MARPOL regulations.

What we do in the marine sector

Performance, operation and optimisation

We understand sewage treatment. Our team have many years of experience designing, commissioning and optimising treatment systems ranging from small scale package plants treating less than 10 population equivalent through to large scale municipal wastewater and sludge treatment systems treating in excess of 2 million population equivalent and our experience covers both black and grey water systems.

It is this knowledge that enables us to identify and resolve process, mechanical and control issues quickly and effectively. We pride ourselves in always identifying the root cause of process problems and implementing solutions that address these issues in the simplest, most effective and cost efficient manner.
