Leading Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Comprehensive
Wastewater Solutions

Properly treated wastewater can be safely reused for cooling, washdown, irrigation, or converted to potable water (after advanced treatment). Our industrial wastewater treatment solutions remove contaminants including bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, salts and hydrocarbons, allowing your plant to operate at optimal efficiency.

Industrial Wastewater Treatment Solutions Across Australia

Over our extensive 30 years of experience, we’ve helped a range of industries reduce input costs, meet environmental compliance, and increase operational efficiency with less water.

WTS applies a proven four-phase consultative process, combining engineering and chemical expertise to make wastewater fit for reuse or safe discharge. Our wastewater treatment solutions address acid rock drainage, mineral processing, and food industry effluent. We help you reduce maintenance, optimise chemical use, save energy, reuse or discharge water, and meet regulatory requirements.

Signs Your Waste Water Systems Need Attention

Before choosing the right industrial wastewater treatment solutions, it’s important to recognise the warning signs.
Understanding these symptoms early helps prevent efficiency loss, compliance issues, and unnecessary operational costs. Some signs to look out for are::

1. Unpleasant Odours: Strong or persistent smells around tanks or drains often signal low oxygen levels or sludge build-up within your waste water treatment system.
2. Cloudy or Discoloured Effluent Turbid or oily discharge can indicate poor solid–liquid separation or excess suspended solids.
3. Foaming or Bulking in Aeration Thick foam or rising sludge suggests microbial imbalance, nutrient deficiency, or inadequate aeration.
4. Poor Settling or Floating Sludge Sludge that rises or overflows weirs indicates gas formation, process overload, or mechanical issues.
5. Unstable pH or Rising Chemical Use Frequent pH swings and increasing waste water chemicals usage point to inconsistent control or system imbalance.

How Do These Signs Affect Your Waste Water Systems?

When wastewater problems are left unresolved, they can quickly impact plant reliability, compliance, and cost.
Here’s how these issues affect your systems:

1. Reduced Treatment Efficiency Imbalanced conditions lower oxygen levels, slow biological activity, and reduce contaminant removal.
2. Increased Energy and Chemical Costs Fouling, over-aeration, and unbalanced chemistry raise operating expenses.
3. Compliance Risks Poor settling or effluent quality can breach discharge limits, leading to environmental penalties.
4. Equipment Damage Sludge build-up, corrosion, and gas formation wear down tanks, pumps, and aeration systems.
5. Odour and Safety Concerns Hydrogen sulphide and septic conditions create health and community hazards.
6. Lost Reuse Potential Unstable treatment performance limits reuse or recycling opportunities for treated water.

FAQs

What are common contaminants in industrial wastewater?

Common contaminants include heavy metals, oils, grease, suspended solids, BOD, COD and pathogens. WTS customises treatment solutions to target these pollutants effectively.

Can wastewater be reused after treatment?

Yes. Properly treated wastewater can be reused for cooling, irrigation, washdown, or even potable applications, depending on the treatment level.

What industries benefit from wastewater treatment?

Food and beverage processing, mining, manufacturing, and energy can use wastewater treatment to reduce costs, meet compliance, and conserve water.
