IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE EXPERIENCING?

Are These Source-Water Conditions Increasing Pressure on Your Plant?

Taste and Odour icon

Taste and
odour

Recurring taste and odour events linked to geosmin and 2-MIB can increase customer complaints and add pressure across drinking water treatment operations.
 

Declining Water icon

Variable Source-Water Conditions

Changes in TSS, organic load and taste and odour drivers can make incoming water less predictable and increase the effort required to maintain stable treatment.
 

Increase Water Treatment Cost icon

Increasing Operational Pressure

Variable source-water conditions can contribute to more frequent dosing adjustments, filter loading, backwashing and operator intervention, increasing operating-cost pressure over time.

Water Operational Risk icon

Reduced Operational Confidence

When source-water conditions become less predictable, operators and engineers have less certainty about what is changing, why it is changing and which response is most appropriate.

WHY IT STARTS BEFORE TREATMENT

Why Better Drinking Water Treatment Starts with Better Source Water

Every stored source-water environment behaves differently. Weather, catchment conditions, seasonal patterns, and intake location can change the TSS, organic load, and taste and odour drivers entering treatment.

That means the first question is not which technology to install. It is what is changing upstream, how that change is affecting the plant, and what evidence is needed to define the right response.

Hydro Synergy begins with a Drinking Water Assessment to understand the source-water conditions, operating context, and treatment objectives before recommending an engineering, monitoring or deployment pathway.

Seasonal taste and odour events begin in the source water, not the treatment plant.
