Source assessment and abstraction
Water-quality testing, yield, seasonal variation and demand inform the design of boreholes, surface-water intakes, raw-water pumping, protection measures and the required treated-water standard.
Start a conversationWater treatment plant design
Reliable water quality from source to point of use.
We design water-treatment plants and support their implementation for domestic, commercial and industrial applications, responding to source-water quality, demand, compliance and operational requirements.
Our water treatment plant design services
Built for real-world performance.
Emplan develops complete solutions for potable water, process water and development infrastructure—from abstraction and laboratory assessment through treatment, storage, pumping, distribution, controls and commissioning. Whether the source is rainwater, groundwater, surface water, brackish water or seawater, the treatment process is selected around the tested water quality and intended use, helping projects achieve clean and safe water with maintainable systems and verified performance.
Desalination plant design
Seawater and brackish-water desalination strategies including pretreatment, reverse osmosis, energy considerations, remineralisation, product-water storage and responsible concentrate management.
Reverse-osmosis systems
RO plant design for domestic, commercial and industrial applications, coordinated around feed-water conditions, recovery, membrane protection, clean-in-place requirements and the required product-water quality.
Water-softening plants
Hardness assessment, softener sizing, regeneration, salt storage, controls and distribution interfaces for domestic services, boilers, cooling systems and industrial processes.
Rainwater harvesting and treatment
Catchment assessment, first-flush control, filtration, disinfection, storage and monitoring designed around the intended potable or non-potable application.
Potable-water treatment and verification
Treatment trains developed around physical, chemical and microbiological test results, followed by commissioning and laboratory verification against applicable drinking-water requirements.
Disinfection and chemical dosing
Safe, controlled systems for disinfection, pH adjustment, coagulation and other required treatment chemicals.
Hydraulic and mechanical design
Tanks, pumps, pipework, pressure, backwash, drainage and residuals systems coordinated for reliable operation.
Storage and distribution integration
Treated-water storage, transfer, pressure control and interfaces with the site distribution network.
Instrumentation and automation
Monitoring of flow, pressure and water-quality parameters with appropriate controls, alarms and reporting.
Plant layout and operator access
Maintainable equipment arrangements, safe access, chemical handling, ventilation and replacement routes.
Tender, construction and commissioning support
Technical documentation, equipment reviews, site support, testing and confirmation of treatment performance.
