Fonterra, a large-scale manufacturing facility, faced challenges with its existing wastewater treatment system. Inefficiencies in their flotation equipment led to increased costs, compliance issues, and environmental concerns. They contacted our expert consulting engineers for a comprehensive assessment and improvement plan
Our team conducted a thorough analysis of the existing flotation equipment, identifying several inefficiencies, underperforming components, and compliance risks. The evaluation revealed that the system was not optimised for the particular type of contaminants produced by the facility, leading to reduced performance.
Based on our findings, we designed a customised solution that involved upgrading specific components of the flotation equipment and reconfiguring the air bubble control mechanisms. These changes were tailored to Fonterra's specific wastewater composition and regulatory requirements.
We provided a comprehensive improvement analysis using advanced simulation tools and process data analysis. The analysis projected a 25% increase in efficiency, a 15% reduction in operational costs, and full compliance with environmental regulations.
We assisted Fonterra in implementing the recommended improvements, ensuring a seamless transition. Our team's hands-on support included project management, regulatory navigation, and collaboration with on-site engineers, leading to a successful and timely implementation.
Our engagement didn't end with implementation. We also provided ongoing monitoring and optimisation support to ensure the system continued performing at peak efficiency. Regular performance audits and adjustments allowed clients to adapt to changing regulations and industry best practices.
Our collaboration with Fonterra led to a significant transformation in their wastewater treatment process. The optimised flotation equipment achieved all projected improvements, resulting in a cleaner effluent, reduced operational costs, and enhanced compliance with environmental standards.
Our expert consulting engineering services enabled Fonterra to turn a critical challenge into an opportunity for growth and sustainability. By focusing on tailored solutions, evidence-based improvements, and continuous support, we helped our client achieve their environmental responsibilities while aligning with their business goals.
