Our Industrial Waste Services

Our Services

Universal Tankers’ Industrial Wastewater Services

Universal Tankers excels in treating various types of industrial liquid waste, including liquids and sludges from drainage systems at garage forecourts, car washes and eco-drains. These waste streams often contain oils, chemicals, detergents, and other organic contaminants that require specialised handling and treatment to prevent environmental pollution and comply with legal standards. Our advanced treatment processes efficiently manage these materials to reduce their environmental impact and maintain the operational efficiency of your drainage systems.

Additionally, we treat industrial sanitary wastewater, also known as common municipal wastewater, which is the waste from toilet systems, sinks, showers, and laundry facilities used by commercial businesses. By effectively managing waste collection and disposal, we help businesses to comply with environmental regulations and contribute to a sustainable future.

Effective Industrial Wastewater Management 

Industrial wastewater management is important for safeguarding both the environment and public health. Improperly managed wastewater can lead to severe pollution of water bodies, soil, and air, causing significant ecological damage and health risks. For businesses, this can result in legal difficulties, fines, financial problems and reputational damage.

Should a business fail to comply with regulatory wastewater disposal regulatory standards they could be at risk of hefty fines or lose an operational licence and their ability to legally operate functions that produce industrial wastewater.

Effective management ensures that contaminants, including harmful chemicals and organic pollutants, are removed or neutralised before discharge, preventing environmental degradation and protecting aquatic life. 

Managing liquid wastewater and common municipal wastewater effectively can not only contribute to environmental sustainability but also enhance a business' own operational efficiency and corporate social responsibility.

Our Industrial Waste Water Removal and Disposal Process

Universal Tankers uses a thorough process for the treatment, removal, and disposal of industrial wastewater. We conduct every step safely, efficiently, and in compliance with the relevant environmental and industrial guidelines.

Our process includes the following stages:

  1. Assessment and analysis: Our team carries out a detailed evaluation of the wastewater to identify the types and concentrations of contaminants. This analysis helps us select the most effective treatment strategies.
  2. Collection and removal: We use specialised equipment to safely collect wastewater from your worksite’s drainage system or offsite wastewater treatment plant. Our modern fleet of tankers and vacuum tankers remove waste efficiently with minimal disruption to your operations.
  3. Disposal: after treatment, the purified water is either safely discharged into the environment or reused in industrial applications, depending on regulatory requirements and the client’s needs. Remaining waste sludge or solid waste is managed and disposed of in strict accordance with environmental regulations.
  4. Monitoring and reporting: we continuously monitor our treatment process to ensure its effectiveness and adherence to all regulatory standards. We can provide detailed reports to clients who need documentation of the entire treatment process and its outcomes.
