Primary Metals

Primary metal producers use large quantities of water. Effective management of the water cycle is therefore vital to control the cost of production.

Effluent treatment and disposal account for a considerable part of the total water cost. VWIO enhances the overall water balance within the manufacturing plant by segregating heavy metals and oils and recycling process water from the waste stream.

The large infrastructure assets means that effective maintenance of the water networks, management of non-revenue water reduction and leakage controls are also crucial on the Primary Metals sites, and can yield a significant return.

VWIO has also a strong expertise in biological treatment, carbon adsorption, metals removal, process control, solids handling systems for treating landfill leachates or contaminated groundwater streams.
