Executive project brief
The challenge
A new two-million-hectolitre-per-year brewery required a complete wastewater system within a tight programme while managing high peak flows during shift changes.
Solution architecture
The following elements are documented in SewTreat’s published project record.
- Custom rapid-deployment containerised design
- Increased buffer capacity for peak inflow
- Manual intake, anaerobic and aerobic stages
- Clarification and final disinfection
- Treated-water reuse integration
Engineering assurance
Characterise
Validate the water profile, duty and variability.
Integrate
Define civils, power, controls, storage and existing interfaces.
Operate
Plan access, skills, residuals, consumables and maintenance.
Verify
Agree commissioning, sampling and acceptance evidence.
Published outcome
Complete system designed, manufactured, assembled and installed within the published two-month programme.
What the project demonstrates
- Rapid execution
- Stable peak-flow management
- Non-potable reuse
- Operational reliability
Before procurement
- Representative water analysis completed
- Average, peak and future flows validated
- Required standard and destination made explicit
- Civils, utilities, storage and distribution interfaces defined
- Operating and maintenance model resourced
- Commissioning evidence and acceptance criteria agreed
