Water reuse and recycling studies

A study that establishes whether treated wastewater or process water can be reused on site, and what it costs to get there. It ends with a process flow diagram, technology selection, equipment list and budget — not a recommendation without numbers.

What MAM delivers

  • Candidate reuse streams identified and characterised
  • Target water quality set against the intended reuse (process, cooling, irrigation, or discharge offset)
  • Process flow diagram from source stream to reuse point
  • Technology and equipment selection sized to the target quality
  • Indicative capex and opex budget

Study deliverables

DeliverableScope
Process flow diagramMapped unit operations from source stream to the target endpoint
Technology selectionTreatment technologies matched to feed characteristics and target quality
Equipment selectionSized equipment list against the selected process train
Capex / opex budgetIndicative capital and operating cost envelope

Reuse studies fail commercially more often than they fail technically — the treatment train to hit a given quality is rarely the hard part; the hard part is proving the economics against the cost of continuing to buy fresh water and discharge wastewater. This study is built to answer that question with a number, not a recommendation.
