Packed Plant for New Technology
For many years Barr + Wray has worked closely with utility innovation teams and university start up companies to assist them accelerate the commercialisation of emerging water treatment technologies.
Pilot to Plant: Scalable Water Treatment Systems for Emerging Technologies
With over 60 years of experience in bespoke water and wastewater treatment, Barr + Wray brings a powerful combination of engineering design, in-house fabrication, automation expertise, and sector knowledge to every collaboration.
We support utility partner and university start-up companies from the concept stage through to pilot trials and full-scale deployment, providing detailed feasibility studies, performance testing, and field validation. Our mobile pilot units and lab-scale testing services allow new technologies – such as advanced membranes, ion exchange, or smart control systems – to be tested under live conditions, with direct feedback into system design.
Utilising our modular plant designs, we ensure easy integration with existing infrastructure, fast deployment, and future scalability. Each system is built using durable, application-specific materials and equipped with automated controls, remote diagnostics, and real-time monitoring to ensure long-term performance.
Through this hands-on, engineering-led approach, Barr + Wray helps innovation teams and start-up companies bridge the gap between R+D and commercial implementation, enabling faster adoption of efficient, sustainable, and compliant technologies across the water sector.
