Significant Cost Savings

One of the most immediate benefits of an efficient water treatment plant is the reduction in operating costs. For example, Jems Environmental helped a client save £13,500 a month by introducing a bespoke chemical dosing system that reduced the volume of chemicals required while maintaining compliance. Better technology and processes mean plants waste fewer resources and save more money in the long term.

Minimised Energy Consumption

Energy-intensive operations can weigh heavily on both budgets and carbon footprints. With advanced systems like automated dosing and improved biological treatment, Jems has cut energy consumption by up to 20% in some facilities. By optimising aeration systems and using mixed aerobic and anaerobic designs, we’ve shown how efficiency improvements can also make plants more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Reduced Haulage Costs

Transporting waste can be one of the biggest expenses in water treatment. Jems Environmental’s innovations in sludge management, such as producing drier, more compacted sludge, have drastically reduced the volume and weight of waste transported. This change alone has saved clients tens of thousands of pounds annually in haulage costs while improving the environmental impact by reducing emissions associated with transport.

Enhanced Compliance and Risk Management

Efficient plants are more reliable, ensuring compliance with strict environmental regulations and avoiding costly fines. Jems’ autonomous monitoring systems constantly track water quality to ensure no toxic discharge enters local waterways. By taking the guesswork out of water treatment, companies can confidently avoid the risk of legal action, hefty fines, or reputational damage.
