Consultancy

Barr + Wray offers a comprehensive water treatment consultancy service, guiding clients from initial concept through to system optimisation. With over 60 years of experience across municipal, industrial, leisure, and commercial sectors, our team provides expert advice rooted in real-world engineering and operational insight.

Our process begins with a detailed site assessment, evaluating water sources, infrastructure, operational constraints, and compliance requirements. This groundwork enables us to recommend the most appropriate treatment technologies, ranging from filtration, reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, and chemical dosing to ion exchange and sludge handling.

To ensure our designs are tailored and effective, we conduct laboratory-scale testing using site-specific water samples. These controlled tests assess raw water quality, chemical compatibility, scaling or fouling potential, and media performance providing clear direction for system design and chemical dosing regimes.

For more complex or larger applications, Barr + Wray offers out its mobile pilot plants for use directly at site. The equipment within these mobile units can be tailored to a customers requirements enabling us to simulate full-scale treatment under real-world conditions, validating system performance, reliability, and operating costs. Data gathered during these trials is used to fine-tune design parameters and ensure regulatory compliance before full investment in the large scale system.

The consultancy team works closely with clients to ensure solutions are:

Technically sound
Cost-effective
Scalable and future-proof
Compliant with local and international regulations
