One notable example that highlights the significance of comprehensive analysis and process optimisation is a successful project undertaken by JIPL for a meat processor facing wastewater treatment issues. JIPL thoroughly examined the entirety of the wastewater system, carefully evaluating the impact of each industrial process on its composition. By taking a holistic approach, JIPL was able to identify that a mere 10% of the water’s content was responsible for the harmful effects on the land. Leveraging this understanding, JIPL devised an efficient process to selectively remove these elements. This resulted in a streamlined cost effective process. “Wastewater is about 50% of our business and we work with clients in the private as well as the municipal/council sectors.” Over the years, the company has honed its expertise in solving compliance issues, cleaning up industrial wastewater, and minimising workplace risks for operational staff.
