Front-end Engineering Design for Wastewater Treatment Plants

Our Front-End Engineering Design studies validate the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of a wastewater treatment project, optimizing process design according to your specific needs. Through testing, applied research, and the expertise of our engineers, FEED studies ensure an efficient, cost-effective, and tailored approach, reducing risks and enabling informed decision-making. Secure the success of your project before committing to the investment.

WHY CONDUCT A FRONT-END ENGINEERING DESIGN STUDY?

A Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study provides a clear and accurate assessment of the technical, environmental, and economic feasibility of a wastewater treatment plant, minimizing risks and ensuring long-term project success.

BENEFITS OF CONDUCTING A FEED STUDY:

Early risk identification: Identifies potential technical, environmental, and operational challenges early in the process, preventing costly design modifications, or failures during the construction and operational phases.
Optimized Resource Allocation: Ensures that CAPEX and OPEX are accurately estimated, preventing budget overruns. Efficient resource planning by specifying equipment, materials, and infrastructure needs in advance.
Accelerated Project Execution: Provides clear and detailed specifications for the purchase of materials and equipment, as well as for plant construction, preventing delays and uncertainty.
Solid foundation for decision-making: Provides a clear technical and economic analysis, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions before committing to full-scale investment.
Guaranteed regulatory compliance: Ensures that the project meets environmental regulations and industry standards before execution.
Greater operational efficiency and reliability: Helps select the most suitable treatment technologies and operational strategies, improving system longevity and performance, while reducing energy consumption, waste generation, and maintenance costs.
Enhanced Supplier and Contractor Coordination: Enables better coordination between all the parts involved by defining project scope, specifications, and performance expectations.

HOW IS A FRONT-END ENGINEERING DESIGN STUDY CARRIED OUT?

STEP 1: LAB TESTING AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

Laboratory testing
Determination of concentration limits
Determination of the quality of recovered water
Confirmation of equipment construction materials
Verification of equipment treatment capacity
Study of available wastewater treatment technologies
Conceptual design of the treatment plant

STEP 2: TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY STUDY

Technical and economic feasibility of the treatment plant
Percentage of water recovered and concentrated waste to be managed
Evaluation of water reuse within the process (Zero Liquid Discharge)
Assessment of waste valorization potential, if applicable
Financial analysis and Return On Investment (ROI), if applicable

STEP 3: DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPTUAL ENGINEERING STUDY

Preliminary engineering development based on lab test conclusions:
- Technical specifications of main equipment
- Definition of project scope
- Cost estimation
