Water reuse, the smart way
Recycling wastewater can extend water supplies, improve water quality, reduce discharge and disposal costs of wastewater, and save energy. For more than two decades, QFS has been treating municipal wastewater.

Operation & Maintenance of Water Treatment Plants
QFS designs, installs and commissions wastewater treatment plants. The company can also conduct a performance audit on an existing plant, as well as augment and upgrade low-cost technologies that can provide process enhancements, upgrade capacities, improve recovery rates, lower energy requirements, and remove nutrients.
Industrial wastewater treatment
The recycling of industrial waste streams is gaining popularity, as the price of raw water and discharge of untreated effluent rise. QFS’s wastewater treatment plants can be semi-or fully automated. This can cut the costs of having an ever-present operator and makes fault detection easier. The company has successfully supplied chemical flocculation, clarification, dissolved air flotation, screening, filtration, and oxidation using ozonation and chlorination. The reuse of treated effluent has been achieved by applying the firm’s extensive expertise in membrane separation, specifically ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis.
Desalination and treatment of bore water and water obtained from rivers or streams
Due to the team’s experience and skills in membrane treatment processes, QFS can offer seawater desalination services, as well as the design of facilities for the treatment of bore water, or water from rivers and streams that requires colloidal particle removal and disinfection. QFS can also treat water for drinking purposes and reuse.
Training for Operational Staff is Key Operation and maintenance of water treatment plants
QFS provides an operation and maintenance optimisation service to industry through the experience of its engineers and technical officers who have commissioned, operated and maintained water and wastewater treatment plants. These in-house experts can assess the design capability of a plant and check this against a performance assessment by visual and instrument checks, as well as monitoring and collating available data.
Training for operational staff safety
The provision of both initial and ongoing training for operators and staff of a plant is an essential service. With the need to make the most of scarce capital resources, it has become necessary to place increased stress on facility operations, requiring a higher degree of operator knowledge and skills.
Project management
By using Microsoft Project, QFS’s project managers can keep clients informed around the tasks currently under way. The company’s project managers appreciate the need for compromise in the project development process by a multidisciplined team and are capable of driving the project on a correct course having defined the constraints. QFS takes into account the shift towards turnkey project management as an important factor in cost and risk minimisation.
