Water / Wastewater Retrofits

Today’s water and wastewater treatment plant managers have the daunting task of balancing the needs of managing an aging utility, meeting a myriad of ever changing regulations, within tightening budget constraints. Plants that were originally constructed over 20 years ago and the associated technologies installed are now reaching the end of their useful life. The technologies that were state of the art 20 years ago have been replaced with new systems that are more efficient, cost effective and environmentally friendly.

 

Wendel’s water and wastewater experts can help you rebuild and re-tool these plants with new technologies that integrate existing assets into an economically sustainable system. Your existing systems provide the foundation and the backbone to add new technology leveraging your past investments while reaping the benefits from industry advancements.   

 

For over 15 years, Wendel has been providing energy efficient solutions in water and wastewater plants that integrate with existing rate structures and develop a pro-forma and capital improvement plan that can be used as a guide for reinvestment. When we combine our water and energy expertise, you get a modern solution that addresses treatment challenges with real world energy and economic solutions that are affordable for your end users.

 

Many areas of the country recognize that energy efficiency is not a passing fad but a requirement to successfully operate all types of facilities. There is legislation in many areas that enable these improvements to be made through energy performance contracting that allows water and wastewater retrofits to be paid for through the guaranteed energy savings. The energy performance contracting model also provides an ideal method to package water and wastewater improvements with energy efficiency enhancements bringing in additional implementation grants from utilities and municipal energy efficiency programs.
