Opus Plus Ltd services

We have a wealth of experience in water treatment technology and regulatory controls and assist our clients at every stage of water treatment technology development. Our expert staff analyse a range of effluents, leachates and environmental samples which, coupled with our ecotoxicology services, means we are ideally placed to help our clients decide on the best water treatment technology, founded on the same principles as our BAT/BEP studies. From planning the treatment options and consulting with regulatory bodies, through to monitoring and aftercare, we are well placed to support clients wanting to develop innovative water treatment technology.

We deal with a variety of industry sectors looking at point source emission, fugitive emission, odour, regulatory application and air-quality monitoring. Alongside physical monitoring we model the impact of various emissions such as Hydrogen Sulphide, Nitrogen Oxide, Sulphur Dioxide and other potential pollutants using ADMS which is recognised by UK environmental regulatory bodies.

Our clients know that effective waste management can benefit the environment and lead to greater efficiency, reducing the costs of disposal to landfill. We offer consultancy services for waste management using our expertise to provide an integrated approach to finding solutions. Our monitoring team assesses the impact of waste disposal sites, whether it be leachate/effluent monitoring, air emissions or other aspects of waste regulation. Furthermore, our knowledge of the UK and European markets means we can be trusted to deliver results in all areas of waste management consultancy to maximise resource efficiency.

Our experience in all areas of environmental media allows us to integrate our resources to provide comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). Our expertise in biology, chemistry and engineering enables us to consider the full scope of impact potentials and provide EIA reports that are thorough and founded on our expertise and experience. With this knowledge we can help our clients avoid the potential pitfalls of a one-dimensional approach, reducing the environmental impact of their developments in the most cost-effective way possible.

We have been at the forefront of developing ecotoxicology services that provide significant benefits for clients who require testing on offshore platforms and other environments where real-time analysis and rapid results are required. Opus are uniquely positioned to offer services to the offshore industry combining our experience in fluids characterisation, separations technologies, chemistry and ecotoxicity and our offshore staff are ready to apply their expertise to any produced water issues. Our mobile ecotoxicology service allows us to carry out testing of produced water in our clients` environment, bringing a number of advantages for those who need fast and reliable results in difficult circumstances.

Our onshore facilities offer the full extensive ecotoxicity service. As well as conducting ecotoxicity studies on produced water we can combine our test hall facilities to conduct studies to look at the impacts on produced water quality. Our facilities can be used to assess the performance of different chemical packages, separator efficiency and the effects of engineering modifications before these changes are tried offshore. We also offer chronic studies to look at the non-lethal, long-term effects of effluents on the environment. Chronic studies are often suggested so that a more detailed picture of environmental impact can be modelled.

Our unique combination of services make is an ideal partner throught the decomissioning process. Oilfield installation decommissioning requires the assessment of many potentially hazardous materials including sludges, effluents and other waste materials. A number of tests are required for the effective analysis of sludge and other decommissioning by-products. Our broad scope of expertise and wide range of testing experience means we are uniquely placed to assist our clients with decommissioning. Our expertise in engineering combined with chemistry, ecotoxicology and our knowledge of project management, impact assessment, environmental regulation and hazardous waste make us an ideal partner throughout the decommissioning process.
