Advanced Water Treatment

Developing innovative advanced water treatment approaches and wastewater technologies

Not all corners of the world have abundant, clean water. Some face droughts, while others deal with contamination. When you combine the effects of climate change, finding ways to mitigate the forces of nature impacting water supplies can seem like an impossible job.

Recycling water is a generational shift in thinking—but it’s a crucial step to providing sustainable, high-quality water resources. Properly treated municipal wastewater effluent, or reclaimed water, is a dependable and drought-resistant resource.

We’re prepared to help clients navigate a wide range of services from infrastructure assessments, master planning, feasibility studies, and program management to process and regulatory support, design, construction management services, operations and maintenance (O&M), training, public outreach, and more. Our teams incorporate innovative ideas to maximize resiliency, minimize demand uncertainties, reduce risks of stranded investments and costs, and maintain adaptability for the future.

The challenge is evident—deliver reliable water to all utility customers.

Sustainable, resilient, and equitable approach to water management

Our focus is on the One Water Cycle—an integrated methodology to managing all forms of water—whether it’s drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, or water in natural systems. This concept emphasizes that all water has value and promotes cooperation across different industries and partners to achieve sustainable water management. For some communities, water reuse will represent the only practical solution.

Advancing technology to improve existing and future water quality standards

Water quality is influenced by ecology, geology, industrial and commercial activities, agriculture, stormwater management, urban runoff, and the discharge of treated and untreated sewage. Each community has its own unique characteristics—that's why we believe in creating customized compliance solutions. This includes novel treatment technologies, decentralized water treatment options, and advanced sensors and machine learning for real-time monitoring. By combining these strategies, we bolster water security.

The next big thing—IPR vs DPR

The debate around indirect potable reuse (IPR) and direct potable reuse (DPR) is a significant question in the water quality and sustainability field. Fresh perspectives are needed to address the challenges of new paradigms. How can we help? We’ll guide you through various factors such as cost, environmental impact, public perception, and regulatory obligations. Our team combines water treatment and advanced treatment methods with an understanding of changing policies and regulations. Let’s pursue a One Water Cycle concept together.
