Onsite Wastewater Treatment: Improving Your Process While Cutting Costs And Improving Sustainability

It’s a constant balancing act: your company values environmentally sustainable practices, but they always seem to come at a cost. In the current landscape, plant operators are hyper aware of cost savings. How can we get the results we want at a cost that makes sense? Or even better, how can we actually save money in the process? The answer might lie somewhere a little unexpected: onsite wastewater treatment.
You may have already looked into it and found it was expensive with a high CapEx, operating costs, large potential footprint and necessary new hires. It bumped up electricity costs, required extensive chemicals or constant sludge management. Or maybe you haven’t tried onsite wastewater treatment yet and it seems like a headache to manage. You’re in the business of bottling beverages, brewing beer, packaging or processing food, not in the business of wastewater treatment.
We know. Wastewater treatment is not easy. But how about taking a second look?
Many traditional treatment options are not meeting their treatment objectives, and they are typically not scalable and challenging to manage. So instead, we settle on paying high surcharges, trucking wastewater offsite for disposal or treatment options that no one is quite happy with. But thanks to new technologies, now is the time to revisit your options.
