Supporting Treatment capacity expansion

Harm from sewer overflows and incidents of sewer flooding are a key area of focus. These recent challenges in the Water industry have called for an expansion of treatment plant capacity, be it through design & construction of new assets, or expansion of existing ones. As Front-End Engineering (FEED) studies are undertaken for Treatment works, technical teams need to have confidence in their solutions delivering the required outcome. This is where WRc's expertise can offer vital support.

    Process Optimisation

    Where there are concerns around the operation of an existing treatment process, WRc’s experts can be employed to develop mathematical models for various aspects of treatment for waste and clean water applications.

    • Energy use
    • Tracking of substances of concern
    • Adequacy of mixing and diffusional effects
    • Removal performance
    • Nature-based/ reed bed solutions implementation
    • Tracking of green house gas evolution

      Design support

      Supporting successful outcomes of FEED studies of industrial and municipal water treatment plants, combating nutrient pollution and helping to make storm overflows a problem of the past.

      Process troubleshooting

      Combining decades of tried and tested techniques with modern computational methods to enhance understanding of treatment process behaviour.

      Compliance checks


      Ensuring regulatory adherence through comprehensive compliance checks that proactively identify and mitigate risks to treatment process performance.

      Data-driven optimisation

      Enabling future planning by leveraging in-house data science capabilities to provide a better understanding of physio-chemical behaviours in Treatment.

      Dr Jeremy Dudley

      Principal Consultant (Treatment Processes)

      Jeremy's expertise lies in the modelling of sewage treatment systems; activated sludge systems; and modelling of processes and hydraulics at sewage and industrial effluent treatment works, both in the UK and overseas. He is the lead developer of WRc's dynamic wastewater modelling tool (STOAT) as well as the steady-state design version of STOAT (Plan-It STOAT). He is also involved in the development of WRc's cost and carbon modelling software (TR61).
