Industrial Solutions

Water & Wastewater

Process-water, demineralisation, effluent-treatment and zero-liquid-discharge equipment and consumables for industrial plants, with supplier qualification and project coordination.

How we help

How MINCAT works with water & wastewater clients

We help plants specify and source industrial water-treatment, demineralisation, effluent-treatment and zero-liquid-discharge systems from qualified technology providers.

Water is a utility in every process plant and a constraint in most of them. Tightening discharge norms, zero-liquid-discharge requirements and rising raw-water cost turn water and wastewater into capital projects with the same partner and equipment decisions as any process unit.

MINCAT supports industrial plants with sourcing of demineralisation, reverse-osmosis, effluent-treatment and ZLD equipment and packages; qualified supply of resins, membranes, activated carbon and treatment chemicals; and owner-side coordination of engineering and EPC partners for water-system upgrades and new installations.

Typical requirements

Requirements we regularly receive from this industry

  • Demineralisation or RO plant sourcing for boiler feed or process water
  • Effluent-treatment plant upgrade with EPC partner selection
  • Zero-liquid-discharge system evaluation and supplier qualification
  • Resin, membrane or chemical supplier qualification
  • Cooling-water system improvement
  • Water-reuse project development

Technical considerations

What usually decides the outcome in water & wastewater

  • Design starts with the water analysis

    Raw-water and effluent characterisation determines the process route and the equipment that can meet it.

  • Consumables set the operating cost

    Membrane life, resin capacity and chemical consumption are compared alongside capital cost.

  • ZLD is an energy decision

    Evaporation and crystallisation dominate ZLD operating cost; integration with plant steam and heat matters.

MINCAT's role and scope

What we do for water & wastewater clients

Engineering, manufacture, construction and commissioning are delivered by qualified partners under their own contracts. MINCAT coordinates on your side within an agreed scope.

MINCAT scope

Coordination, evaluation and support

  • Technology and package supplier comparison against water and effluent data
  • Equipment and consumable supplier qualification
  • Engineering and EPC partner identification for water projects
  • Owner-side coordination through design, delivery and commissioning support
Commercial and procurement considerations

How engagements are structured

  • Packages are compared on guaranteed output quality and consumable cost, not only capital price.
  • Multi-year consumable programmes stabilise operating cost.
  • Fees are agreed in advance and are independent of which technology, supplier or contractor is selected.
