Case Studies

Waste minimisation has a vital role to play in effective management of industry today.

Here are just three recent examples of how we have helped our customers manage waste more efficiently.

1. Waste recycling for manufacturers

A major manufacturing site in the U.K. produces large volumes of liquid waste sludge which has a high metal content. This sludge, which previously went to land for disposal, is now pressed into a cake using our innovative new filter press.

The resulting waste product is greatly reduced in volume through this process, making it commercially viable to be exported for smelting to recover the residual materials.

2. Cost reductions within the food industry

Following a comprehensive survey on the waste of a company previously spending £30,000 per month on trade effluent charges. We have introduced on-site treatment facilities to provide pH-balancing, reduction in C.O.D. and solids removal - which has a dramatic effect on their charges.

3. Agricultural recycling within the processing industry

After professional analysis of the components of a by-product from a biological treatment plant at a processing company, the resulting effluent has now been approved as an agricultural supplement. This has provided the company a saving of over £100,000 per annum.
