On-site process audit
Our FilterCare solution starts with an on-site audit, ensuring we fully understand your filtration process and any specific issues you face. This is paramount in making recommendations that will ensure you achieve your end goals. Our expert engineers are some of the best in the industry with many years of hands-on experience across all Orion models as well as in-depth understanding of water treatment processes in your market.
Typical issues include:
- Plate and frame filter presses that are suffering from poor filter pack condition, leading to powder breakthrough and product losses due to edge leakage.
- Hydraulic system failures leaving equipment inoperable.
- Electrical control circuit failures resulting in extended and unplanned downtime.
- Inefficient production procedure. For example, incorrect dosing ratios versus product flow-rate and filterability, this in turn increases effluent, downtime and decreases throughput.
Comprehensive audit report
We don’t just audit your equipment; we add value to your business by submitting a detailed and substantial audit report. This highlights any issues and includes a series of robust recommendations with full cost-benefit analysis for work that needs to be undertaken.
“The thorough analysis undertaken by Envirogen Group at the early stages, meant a robust workable solution was put in place. From the word go our costs were reduced, environmental impact lessened, and efficiency and capability within the plant increased.”
