. Industrial Wastewater Treatment and Pretreatment AVANT offers a full range of services to our clients for designing, building, operating, and maintaining their wastewater treatment systems and keeping their facilities in regulatory compliance. Our varied services include: Wastewater Management Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) and Monthly Report of Operations (MRO) assistance NPDES permit applications Baseline monitoring reports (BMR) State-certified operators Operation and maintenance manuals and training Equipment and spare-parts procurement Sampling and reporting Wastewater Treatment Physical/chemical and biological treatment design, permitting, and construction Process design and performance evaluation Solids handling design and construction Treatment facilities and treatability studies Toxicity reduction evaluations Instrumentation and control Industrial Pretreatment Programs Rate evaluation and user inventories Local limits evaluations Sewer-use ordinances Risk-management plans Wastewater Conveyance Gravity sewer systems Force mains and pumping stations Collection systems and interceptors Pressure sewer systems Odor control AVANT’s professional staff is experienced in planning, designing, and implementing cost-effective, efficient industrial wastewater treatment and pretreatment programs, whether it’s a wastewater flow in excess of a million gallons per day, a small specific industrial process, or a new facility, an expansion, a modification, or an existing operation. AVANT designs systems to significantly minimize the volume of solids that must be managed and to beneficially reuse water at a low operating cost. From initial gravity separation to thickening, dewatering, drying, and ultimate utilization, we can help you effectively manage your residuals. AVANT’s operational experience allows us to design systems for ease of operation and maintenance while keeping energy savings and recovery in mind. Our engineers also design systems to efficiently convey wastewaters and residuals from process to treatment to discharge points. Many industrial processes produce wastewaters or resources that can be reused. AVANT can design wastewater treatment/water-recovery and reuse systems that are right for your facility, whether it involves zero-discharge systems, sludgeless metals treatment, process-water use reduction, water reuse, sludge reduction, or energy recovery. AVANT has substantial experience in treating a broad range of industrial wastewaters to meet effluent or pretreatment discharge requirements or that can be reused in other manufacturing processes. Our staff has designed and installed physical-chemical treatment processes to remove metals and cyanide, separate oily wastes, provide pH control, and remove fats and oils for a wide range of industrial applications. Our systems for biologically treating high-strength wastewaters using anaerobic, aerobic, or combinations of technologies have proven successful in meeting our clients’ stringent direct and indirect discharge requirements . . . and our clients routinely experience operational cost savings through reduced user charges.
