Plant Sizing

Plant sizing is a core issue when considering a new wastewater treatment plant or the upgrading of existing equipment.

Plant sizing is becoming increasingly critical as effluent quality demands become higher. An undersized plant is useless to a varying degree, whilst an oversized plant will also have operational shortcomings which will make consistent quality output difficult to achieve.

Frequently what appears to be an insurmountable sizing shortcoming can often be overcome by the addition of simple auxiliary equipment or modification to the plant process method.

Oversizing to accommodate future growth is a matter which also needs to be handled with care.

EPCO Australia can offer many suggestions as to how these important factors can be evaluated.


Operation and Maintenance Analysis

You may consider that the operation and or maintenance of your plant (a valuable balance sheet asset) is below par.

This can manifest itself in a number of ways. The plant may have some persistent operating problem or not be delivering the effluent quality required. It may simply be that there is no knowledge of plant operation and maintenance.

Our experience can be employed to assess the operating and maintenance of your equipment, the level of capability of your plant operator, recommend and document improvements or changes needed and implement these system variations if required. The historic industry knowledge within our company means that we are able to provide operating and maintenance manuals and training, even if the plant is not an EPCO Australia installation.


Equipment Assessment and Advice

EPCO Australia offers our clients the opportunity to appraise the cost benefit of upgrading their old equipment or replacing it with a new unit.

Plant upgrades are available for most kinds of sewage treatment equipment from any manufacturer including EPCO Australia. There is no charge from us to provide you with a quotation, providing all necessary information is readily available to us.
