Wastewater
Solutions for the Wastewater Industry
Wastewater treatment is a critical process for maintaining environmental standards and public health across the UK and Ireland. Industrial wastewater systems require precise control of flow, pressure, and dosing to ensure compliance with stringent regulations.
At Premier Control Technologies (PCT), we provide advanced instrumentation and pumping solutions tailored for wastewater applications, helping operators achieve efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. Our products support key processes such as chemical dosing, aeration, sludge transfer, and environmental monitoring, ensuring smooth operation in even the most demanding conditions.
Typical applications
Chemical Dosing for pH Adjustment
Maintaining correct pH levels in wastewater is essential for effective treatment and compliance. Chemical dosing systems introduce acids or alkalis to neutralise pH variations caused by industrial processes. These systems must deliver precise volumes under varying flow conditions, ensuring consistent water quality. Poor control can lead to corrosion, scaling, or environmental discharge issues. Automated dosing improves accuracy, reduces chemical waste, and enhances operational safety.
Relevant products:
- Valveless Piston Pumps - These pumps deliver highly accurate dosing without valves, reducing maintenance and ensuring consistent flow even with corrosive chemicals.
Key benefits:
- No valves to clog or wear, ideal for aggressive chemicals
- Precise metering for stable pH control
- Compact design for easy integration into dosing skids
- Long service life reduces downtime
- Peristaltic Pumps: Perfect for transferring chemicals with varying viscosities, offering gentle handling and easy maintenance.

Key benefits:
- Handles abrasive and viscous fluids
- Simple tube replacement for quick servicing
- Accurate flow control for dosing applications
- Low pulsation for smooth chemical delivery
Disinfection Chemical Injection
Disinfection is vital for eliminating pathogens before water discharge. Chlorine, ozone, or other disinfectants are injected at controlled rates to ensure compliance with health standards. Systems must handle aggressive chemicals safely and accurately.
Relevant products:
- Peristaltic Pumps (Longer) - Ideal for chlorine and disinfectant dosing with minimal risk of leakage.
Key benefits:
- Chemical-resistant tubing options
- Reliable performance under continuous operation
- Easy maintenance reduces downtime
- Compact footprint for confined spaces
Sludge Pumping and Transfer
Sludge handling is a core part of wastewater treatment, requiring robust pumps to move thick, abrasive materials. Reliability and resistance to wear are critical to avoid costly downtime.
Relevant products:
- Micro Gear Pumps - Suitable for controlled transfer of viscous sludge in small-scale or specialised systems.
Key benefits:
- High precision for dosing sludge additives
- Compact design for integration into modular systems
- Durable construction for harsh environments
Aeration Flow Control
Aeration introduces oxygen into wastewater to support biological treatment. Accurate airflow control ensures optimal microbial activity and energy efficiency.
Relevant products:
- Compressed Air Flow Meters - Measure and monitor air supply for aeration systems.
Key benefits:
- High accuracy for energy optimisation
- Easy installation in existing pipelines
- Robust design for industrial environments
Influent and Effluent Flow Monitoring
Monitoring incoming and outgoing water flow is essential for compliance and process optimisation. Non-invasive technologies are preferred for ease of installation and minimal disruption.
Relevant products:
- Ultrasonic Flow Meters - Provide accurate, non-invasive measurement for large pipes and open channels.
Key benefits:
- Clamp-on design avoids pipe cutting
- Suitable for clean and dirty water
- Low maintenance and long-term reliability
Filtration System Pressure Regulation
Filtration systems require stable pressure to maintain efficiency and prevent damage. Back pressure control ensures consistent performance.
Relevant products:
- Back Pressure Regulators - Maintain system integrity and protect filters from pressure surges.
Key benefits:
- Precise pressure control
- Corrosion-resistant materials
- Compact and easy to install
Leak Detection and Isolation in Pipelines
Leak detection prevents environmental contamination and costly repairs. Pressure monitoring and isolation valves are key components.
Relevant products:
- Precision Pressure Transmitters - Detect pressure drops indicating leaks.
Key benefits:
- High accuracy for early detection
- Robust design for harsh conditions
- Easy integration with SCADA systems
Environmental Stack Monitoring
Monitoring emissions from wastewater treatment ensures compliance with air quality regulations.
Relevant products:
- Humidity & Dew Point Transmitters - Measure moisture in exhaust gases for accurate reporting.
Key benefits:
- Reliable performance in variable conditions
- Compact design for stack installations
- Long-term stability reduces recalibration needs
Temperature Monitoring in Treatment Processes
Temperature affects biological activity and chemical reactions in wastewater treatment. Continuous monitoring ensures process stability.
Relevant products:
- Temperature Probes & Wireless Transmitters - Provide real-time data for process control.
Key benefits:
- Fast response for dynamic processes
- Wireless options reduce cabling costs
- Durable for harsh environments
Humidity Control in Enclosed Control Areas
Humidity management protects sensitive electronics and ensures operator comfort in control rooms.
Relevant products:
- Humidity Transmitters - Monitor and maintain optimal conditions.
Key benefits:
- Accurate readings for HVAC control
- Compact and easy to install
- Long-term reliability
