Segregation is the key to effective recycling and recovery of resources and by-products
Waste management is a largely neglected area in the industry. It is a common practice to combine entire waste (liquid or solid) and subject it to combined treatment. This method is not conducive for recovery or recycling of water or by-product. The key to effective recycling and recovery of by-products is segregation and a ‘holistic’ approach for resource conservation.
Technology Selection
While selecting the technology an emphasis will be in the following areas:
- Energy efficiency
- Reduced chemical consumptions
- Low sludge/ residue formation
- Recovery of by products
- Recycling of treated wastewaters
- Reduce footprint
- Reduce carbon footprints
- Retrofitted easily in the existing system
Holistic Resource Conservation Process
Our well-proven process for holistic resource conservation consists of:
- Process audits & Water & waste audits
- Laboratory and/ or pilot studies, and process modeling
- Selection of suitable technology for treatment/possible process improvements/ recoveries of by products
- Design tailor- made solutions for recovering raw material/ by-product
- Feasibility report with cost estimates and payback period calculations
- Detailed engineering of selected system
- Total delivery of system through associates
Water, Waste and Process audits will be used as diagnostic tools to look at the possibilities of upgrading/ retrofitting the existing treatment facility.
Since these are not ‘of the shelf’ solutions, STEP will work in partnership with clients and share both the risks & success associated with the process!
