OLEOLOGY’s customised PFAS solutions incorporate advanced technologies and environmentally friendly methods for effective water treatment and have the capacity to comprehensively assess and improve existing treatment systems in line with ESG best practices.
The company’s consultative approach involves conducting feasibility assessments to gain a detailed understanding of the client’s needs and identify issues the existing facility may have in meeting discharge compliance requirements.
Along with effective PFAS removal, OLEOLOGY’s innovative water treatment systems offer advanced solutions to remove organics, oils, hydrocarbons, mercury and other contaminants to below-discharge requirements
The focus on ESG across industries has created a gap where small businesses and local governments may need more opportunity or capacity to meet ESG requirements and expectations. OLEOLOGY Technical Manager Saasha Callaghan told Inside Water that the company’s recent work with a local council highlighted the broad scope of solutions it offered. Councils now need to focus on waste treatment, leachate sites, PFAS-compliant discharge, roadworks, civil improvements and impacted water.
“Anything linked to water now must be addressed, so cost-effective, long-term solutions are needed,” said Callaghan. “Councils are finding themselves in the management of PFAS, whether for wastewater treatment for their street sweepers, dump sites, management of leachate water, and impacted water from industrial or legacy locations. The goal is for them to improve the water quality for their residents. OLEOLOGY has the know-how and technical experience to help with.”
OLEOLOGY’s site-specific evaluation process involves water balance and optimisation studies, investigating opportunities for water to be reused and recycled. The councils aim to reduce chemical use and improve water and energy efficiency. OLEOLOGY can also offer cost/benefit analyses for its clients. This holistic approach, along with meeting discharge requirements, brings more efficient water treatment plant and site operations, maximised operational value, and assurance of compliance.
OLEOLOGY provides expertise for road works project
A contractor commissioned for a local council’s road infrastructure project said working with OLEOLOGY to manage the project’s PFAS needs had been an absolute game-changer for its operations.
“Their innovative PFAS water treatment systems, which filtered the PFAS out of the ground water on one of our Department of Transport and Main Roads projects, have demonstrated exceptional efficiency and provided us with peace of mind knowing that we effectively addressed environmental concerns.”
The contractor said the OLEOLOGY team showed their expertise and commitment in finding tailored solutions for the project’s specific requirements.
“They guided us through every step of the process, from initial consultation to implementation, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.
“Their dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship is evident in the design and operation of their PFAS water treatment systems, which are engineered to minimise environmental impact while maximising effectiveness.”
The contractor noted that aligning with its values had made it an invaluable partner in mitigating PFAS contamination.
“The reliability of OLEOLOGY’s equipment has been remarkable, delivering consistent results without fail.
“This reliability, coupled with their responsive customer support, has given us the confidence to easily tackle even the most challenging projects.
“Partnering with OLEOLOGY has enhanced our ability to address PFAS contamination and elevated our overall operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.”
