Decentralized Treatment for Warehouses and Office Buildings
Onsite or decentralized water and wastewater treatment involves treating water and managing wastewater at the point of use, rather than relying on centralized treatment plants. This approach offers commercial clients greater control, cost efficiency, and environmental responsibility, making it an attractive option for businesses seeking sustainable and reliable water management.
AUC offers a range of decentralized water and wastewater treatment solutions, including:
Water Treatment Plants
AUC offers drinking water treatment plants with capacities starting at 10,000 gallons per day. Our plants can be customized to treat surface water, well water, brackish water, or seawater by incorporating the appropriate technologies into the plant. Combined with state-of-the-art technologies like filtration, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis, along with innovative processes, these plants deliver effective treatment solutions.
Wastewater Treatment Plants
AUC offers both compact package plants with capacities starting at 10,000 gallons per day and conventional concentric wastewater treatment systems with capacities starting at 100,000 gallons per day. AUC’s package plants are modular, scalable, and movable, and are well-suited for decentralized wastewater treatment applications. AUC’s conventional concentric circle plants have a smaller footprint and offer higher flow rates at a lower cost.
AUC’s wastewater treatment systems typically start with a conventional activated sludge plant, incorporating additional technologies depending on the contaminants being targeted. These technologies include:
Water Reuse and Recycling
AUC’s water management strategies emphasize recycling wastewater for reuse. Promoting water reuse is essential for fostering a greener and more responsible image, as it aligns with the principles of resource conservation, environmental stewardship, energy efficiency, resilience to water scarcity, and corporate social responsibility. By embracing water reuse initiatives, commercial clients can contribute to a more sustainable future while enhancing their reputation as environmentally conscious entities.
Applications for water reuse include irrigation of landscaping, amenity ponds and water features, toilet flushing, dust control on construction sites and unpaved roads, industrial processes such as cooling towers, restoration of wetlands and other natural habitats, and groundwater recharge.
