Rapid, creative troubleshooting brought critical waste system back into compliance

Location: Europe/ Middle East/ Africa (EMEA)
Project Name: Membrane Bioreactor Troubleshooting
Project Scale: Ongoing Sampling Solutions and Analysis for a High Volume Facility

Challenge

Performance of the end-of-pipe wastewater treatment system deteriorated resulting in a violation of the discharge permit, requiring swift action to bring the system back into compliance.

Barriers

Stringent local environmental regulations. The client lacked the expertise necessary to restore compliance. Time was the biggest enemy in the fight to avoid major consequences.

Solution

FTD simplified the process of collecting and interpreting samples. Leveraging industry expertise, FTD recommended best testing practices and interpreted sample results.

Impact

The most notable impact is that with the quick injection of FTD expertise, the system performance was stabilized and returned to operating within the permit limits without a fine or a site shutdown. Leveraging the creativity of the leading industry experts, this was accomplished without any added capital expense. The system is operating within compliance boundaries and its original performance is on track to be fully restored. Out of the box solutions can save the day.
