With over 35 years experience and knowledge of manufacturing variable speed electrical control systems, Drive Systems Ltd provide fixed and variable speed drives, control panels and will commission and install both the mechanical equipment and electrical supplies, as required. Drive Systems Limited is a wholly owned independent company founded in 1986 by its present directors to promote the use of packaged inverter drive systems into a wide range of industrial applications so that they could benefit from the flexibility of control and the large potential energy savings that this, then, emerging new technology could provide. Many areas of industry, from pet food manufacturers to woodworking machine makers and from the nuclear industry to the water companies became valued customers and benefited from bespoke packaged drive systems tailored to their specific application. The water companies soon became the source of the majority of the companies workload, with inverter based drive systems being developed for wet well submersible pump systems, rectangular bacteria bed distributors (both rope hauled and independently driven) and for circular filter bed distributor drives. This latter drive system, enjoying patent protection of its principles of operation, has been a huge success and over 2000 systems have been supplied into all of the UK`s Water Companies, as well as to numerous overseas locations. Drive Systems has recognised the need, not only to provide products and packaged control systems, but also to provide an installation and commissioning service which ensures optimised performance from the existing plant. Drive Systems site programme includes installation of both mechanical and electrical equipment on prepared foundations. The service is not complete without the inter connection of all items of equipment, including cables, cable trays and ducts, as required. Lighting, heating, ventilation are a natural extension of this work. Drive Systems can provide Fixed and variable speed drives for pumps and fans Control panels and cabinets designed for specific applications Percolating circular filter bed drives and control Percolating rectangular filter bed drives and control Complete installation both mechanical: cabling and electrical supplies Commissioning and test Servicing and repairs

Since 2004, Polypipe has been successfully manufacturing engineered Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) to support the construction industry at every stage of its growth. With continuous research and development, Polypipe have become the market leaders in water management solutions, designing drainage systems that effectively meet the challenges of today’s construction sites. We develop site specific engineered drainage solutions that fulfil large scale civil engineering and infrastructure, commercial and residential projects, working closely with contractors, consultants, engineers and planners. The increase in climate change and urbanisation has pushed them to continually develop through innovation. We engineer specific systems that not only make space for water but we also develop systems that provide multifunctional benefits that create and sustain Green Infrastructure. With the shift towards creating resilient cities in the UK and around the world; green walls, Blue-Green roofs, swales and rain gardens that intercept water run-off are working in conjunctions with engineered solutions, such as permeable pavements and mass attenuation systems. Source control is being adopted more often on site where rainwater is intercepted on rooftops and on tall buildings with dense urban environments, all helping to mitigate the impact of flooding whilst reinforcing a positive outcome for a growing population, providing enjoyable places to live. Today we offer the widest choice of water management, surface water drainage, sewer and cable protection systems. We are evolving to meet the challenges through clever design and making space for water to capture, store and re-use.

Quantum Engineering Developments Limited specialises in the design, construction installation and commissioning of surge control systems, compressed air systems and booster pump sets.

Suppliers of spray systems and solutions, including the StormBlaster™ stormwater attenuation tank cleaning system, the ScreenBlaster CSO screen cleaning head and specialised spray solutions for odour control, foam suppression and other water and wastewater applications. There are many applications for spray nozzles and systems within the water and wastewater treatment sector. SNP have worked on projects for most of the main water suppliers in the UK & Ireland as well as with many in Europe and beyond. We have listed some key applications for spray nozzles below. For a full list of applications and for further details on key applications, follow the menu to the right. Cleaning systems The United Kingdom’s water industry is poised for its most ambitious transformation yet under the AMP8 (Asset Management Period 8) investment cycle, which runs from 2025 to 2030. Backed by an unprecedented £108 billion investment, the largest in the sector’s history, AMP8 is focused not only on maintaining and upgrading ageing infrastructure but also on addressing growing environmental and regulatory challenges. A significant £11 billion of this total has been earmarked specifically for stormwater and sewage spill mitigation, reflecting mounting pressure from regulators, the public, and environmental groups to curb pollution in rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. At the heart of this environmental push lies the urgent need for more stormwater retention tanks and combined sewage overflow (CSO) systems. It is estimated that some 2,000 such systems will need to be updated, refurbished or built in the AMP round of funding. This stormwater management infrastructure is vital if the target of reducing spills and sewage discharges into waterways by 44% is to be met. Much of this new infrastructure will require specialised cleaning systems. Storm water attenuation tanks can cause serious smell pollution if left improperly cleaned after usage. The StormBlaster tank cleaning system is a more effective alternative to tipping buckets, swirl eductors and manual entry cleaning. Screen cleaning Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) are a key feature of combined sewer systems, where rainwater and wastewater share the same pipework. During heavy rainfall, these systems can become overwhelmed without proper control measures. CSO chambers manage excess flows by allowing water levels to rise and diverting surplus into overflow pipes. A crucial component of CSOs is the screening system, which traps solids and keeps them within the sewer network. This prevents solid waste from entering local waterways and protects the environment. Foam control The formation of a stable foam in the water treatment process is a common problem. Foam can occur in aeration tanks, anaerobic digesters or secondary clarifiers. Foam is undesirable because it can overflow vessels, create slippery and unsafe working conditions, interfere with processing, damage materials, and cause tanks to drain and dry slowly. Controlling foam can be accomplished by spraying liquid onto the pool, vessel, or reservoir’s surface and allowing the spray’s droplets to impact the foam bubbles, causing them to break. Spray nozzle arrays positioned above fluid level can be used to knock back the foam and keep it under control. Odour control The use of sprays to knock down and neutralise odour is a common application for our spray nozzles. Nozzles are either used to directly treat odour particles in the air or as part of scrubber systems.
