Process water
Water quality aligned with manufacturing and utility requirements.
Water & wastewater engineering forAutomotive Manufacturing
Water and wastewater engineering for complex manufacturing operations.
From process and utility water to effluent treatment, sewage treatment and recycling.
Understanding the application
Water is part of every manufacturing system. How it is treated, used and recovered matters.
Automotive facilities can require water across manufacturing, plant utilities, facility operations and supporting processes.
Wastewater characteristics may also vary considerably depending on the operations at the site.
Our role is to engineer treatment systems around those actual requirements.
The water challenge
Conditions that shape the treatment path.
Treatment starts with the actual water, wastewater and operating context. These are the typical considerations our engineers assess for automotive applications.
02
Effluent management
Treatment systems designed around actual wastewater characteristics.
03
Facility sewage
Reliable treatment for domestic and commercial wastewater generated on site.
04
Water recovery
Opportunities to treat and reuse water where technically appropriate.
Our water & wastewater focus
Engineering around the requirement.
The final treatment train depends on characterisation, site constraints and the required discharge or reuse quality.

Before the first conversation
What to prepare before discussing treatment.
None of this is required to start. The more of it is available, the faster a automotive requirement can move from conversation to an engineering basis.
- 01
Which streams the site generates — for example process effluent from surface treatment, painting or washing, oily wastewater and facility sewage — and whether they are segregated.
- 02
The approximate daily volume of each stream, and how it changes with shifts and production.
- 03
Any available effluent analysis, particularly for oils, suspended solids and pH.
- 04
The quality required for process and utility water.
- 05
Whether treated water is to be reused, and where on site.
- 06
Existing treatment facilities and how they currently perform.
