Siltbuster has always been passionate in its conviction that modular effluent treatment is the way forward for hire and investment. Global research now shows that the market is following suit.
A recent report by marketing intelligence specialists StarUs named "Modular Water Treatment Systems" as one of its Top 10 advanced water treatment technologies.
The report, which can be found here, says:
“Water treatment plants often require extensive infrastructure and are not easily adaptable. On the other hand, modular water treatment systems offer a portable, scalable, and customisable solution using prefabricated units that are easy to transport, assembled, and integrate."
“Modular systems also enable rapid deployment in emergency situations or remote areas, ensuring access to clean water in a timely manner. Advances in modular technology include the integration of processes such as membrane filtration, advanced oxidation, and biological treatment to effectively remove contaminants and improve water quality. The modular approach also allows for efficient monitoring, control, and maintenance of water treatment systems.”
The findings reflect Siltbuster's modular approach, which is at the heart of its mission to treat wastewater in the most effective and efficient ways possible.
Silbuster modular waste water treatment plants are configured and tested offsite before being delivered to the client
Two decades of research and development have continually refined Siltbuster's modular approach. Units are built on site at its Monmouth HQ and can be put together in multiple combinations. The modules are transported to site as a plug-and-play solution, installed by experts, and set to work.
Modular waste water treatment advantages
Building offsite waste water treatment modules has a number of benefits including:
Scalability
Modular solutions are easily scalable. New modules can be added, removed or substituted easily depending on the requirement, always using the most efficient solution for the job.
Flexibility
Specialists tailor each solution for every project's needs, always using the right equipment for the job. This eliminates unnecessary stages, equipment of excessively sized tanks or dosing units - fitting each project into the smallest footprint possible.
In the event of a breakdown, a rapidly deployable modular solution can keep the production moving until the problem is solved. They also cater for seasonal variations and short-term spikes in demand.
Cost efficiency
Siltbuster aims to always provide the best available technology, at low costs - using established technologies in novel ways to deliver the best results while minimising customer expenditure. Using components and systems that are proven to work, it can combine individual elements to keep efficiency up and costs down.
Plug and play
Assembling modular solutions offsite means they can be thoroughly tested before being sent to their destination. Then, when the solution arrives on site, it’s just a case of plug and play – the system is given a final check and is up and running without spending a lot of time on site getting the basics right.
Easy maintenance
Every process needs maintenance, a modular approach simplifies this and makes it quicker and easier. Individual modules can be isolated while issues are solved. If necessary, a replacement module can be swapped in so operations can continue, resulting in reduced downtime compared to shutting a whole plant down for repair.
Environmental benefit
A modular approach often leads to fewer trips to site and less disruption during installation. Siltbuster’s ability to create modular installations that fit into the smallest available footprint reduces the transportation needed to get a treatment solution to site, reducing emissions associated with each project. Using a modular solution also helps customers meet their own ESG goals on the journey to net zero carbon.
