Water Services

Access to water is a growing global concern, affecting industry and municipalities alike. Challenging sources, pressure to recycle, and stricter discharge regulations have created the need for innovative approaches to water management.

Hatch Water is a global team of experienced water engineers focused on providing creative and sustainable solutions to water supply, water and wastewater treatment, and water management challenges. We deliver the most comprehensive solutions by capitalizing on our global, multi-disciplinary expertise to provide custom-designed plants that meet our clients’ unique requirements.

As well as designing, constructing, and commissioning water and wastewater treatment systems, we specialize in the thorough integration of the plant with industrial core processes and surrounding environments. Hatch’s expertise in the mining, metals, energy, and infrastructure sectors means that we optimize water solutions to reflect the needs of the entire facility.

The Advantage

We take pride in successfully taking on the largest, most complex, and most challenging projects on a global basis. With process and technology expertise at the core of our skills, our world-class technical personnel deliver:

• Innovative technology-based solutions
• Site-wide water management ranging from water suppy, treatment, conveyance and distribution to effluent treatment and recycle/reuse schemes
• Solutions integrated into overall client operations and needs
• Global experience, local implementation.

The Hatch Water Team is comprised of multidisciplinary experts: chemical and civil engineers, hydrogeologists, hydrologists, as well as a global group of mechanical, piping, electrical, and controls engineers.

The Approach

Our water engineers interact with our industrial clients’ process engineers and operators to ensure that solutions to water-quality issues respect our clients’ production requirements and are integrated and compatible with process demands.

We identify and communicate with all stakeholders to ensure that their requirements are incorporated into the overall plant design. This not only prevents the delay of key projects due to community concerns, but also ensures the long-term success of the project by considering managers’ and operators’ needs. Our objective is to provide solutions based on sound process development providing consistent and reliable operation with minimum capital and operating costs.

Technology Expertise

Hatch’s water capabilities are strengthened by our thorough understanding and extensive expertise with leading-edge water technologies:

• Desalination: Thermal, membrane, and emerging technologies
• Chemical Treatment: Precipitation, scale/corrosion control, softening, flocculation, clarification, and thickening
• Biological Treatment: for sewage and industrial wastewater
• Membrane Technologies: reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, micro-filtration, and membrane bioreactors
• Media filtration: multi-media filters, sand filters, greensand filters, activated carbon filters, walnut shell filters, gravity and pressure filtration
• Oil-water separation
• Acid mine drainage treatment: high density sludge, low density sludge, membranes
• Slurry handling: sludge pumping, filter presses, vacuum dryers

• Acid mine drainage treatment (high-density and low-density sludge systems)
• Site water management
• Mine effluent treatment

Energy

• Boiler feed water
• Flue gas desulpherization wastewater treatment and recycle
• Produced water treatment
• Oil sands surface mining water management and reuse
• Waste-to-energy water management and treatment
• Coal gasification water management and treatment

Municipal Water and Wastewater

• Potable water – membrane systems, contaminant removal, hardness reduction
• Sewage treatment – membrane bioreactors, biological treatment, reuse
• Advanced wastewater treatment for reuse

The Western Corridor Recycled Water Project (WCRW) is the largest recycled water scheme in the Southern Hemisphere. Hatch Water was involved in the design and construction of the largest of the advanced treatment projects, Luggage Point.
