Part of the effective ongoing operation of any water or wastewater treatment plant is a regular performance evaluation or audit of the plant and its operators.
This is increasingly important under the Environmental Protection Act, so that companies have documented proof for the regulators that their plants are running efficiently and effectively.
Our audit program is comprehensive and involves:
- Site visit for information gathering, including inspection of plant and equipment, performance and condition;
- Collection and analysis of samples of the influent and effluent;
- Statistical analysis of operator log sheets and historical laboratory data to evaluate plant performance;
- Interpretation of results and comprehensive recommendations for plant and process improvements;
- Early notification to operations personnel and management of problems.
The frequency and extent of each component is tailored to your business and process requirements and resources.
