Services for Liquid Waste Transport & Removal
Liquid Waste Treatment
We are delighted to bring into operation Ireland’s first fully licenced, privately operated non-hazardous liquid waste treatment facility. Designed and constructed by Glanua the plant recently went through final commissioning.
Ensure your operations run smoothly and stay compliant. With over 550m3 storage capacity our facility can provide a solution if you are having difficulties complying with your discharge limits or if you need an outlet due to upgrades on your own site. Avoid having costly interruptions to your production facility due to unforeseen circumstances. We are licenced by Galway County Council with discharge licence from Irish Water.
We can also provide capacity allocation to cover Emergency Situations. The facility can handle up to 50,000 tons per annum. We are centrally located and readily accessible with immediate access to the motorway network.
Sludge Management
We provide a cradle to grave Sludge Management Service, and have a team of environmental scientists at Walsh Enviro to ensure that we continually maintain our high standards. We pride ourselves on delivering a service that is both compliant and cost effective.
Our complete suite of sludge management services include:
- Land Sourcing
- Mapping and Soil Testing
- Sludge Treatment
- Sludge Storage
- Landspreading
- Submission of Reports
The sludge is spread exclusively on landbanks that is utilised for the growing of energy crops with oilseed rape being the primary crop. When oilseed rape is crushed it produces one-third of its weight as pure plant oil which can be further modified and turned into biodiesel
Interceptor Emptying
Regular cleaning and emptying of oil or petrol interceptor systems helps protect you against the possibility of environmental incidents, which could be extremely costly — in fines and clean up charges, not to mention damage to the environment.
Walsh Enviro will ensure that your interceptors are emptied when necessary, at regular intervals through planned maintenance programmes. Regular interceptor cleaning and timely action can prevent costly and unnecessary remedial action.
Drainage Interceptors and Gullies Interceptors are designed to allow only water to drain from the outlets; pollutants such as fuel oil and solids stay within the confines of the interceptor.
The accumulation of oil silt debris and other miscellaneous contaminants within an interceptor increases the risk of forecourt flooding and leads to pollution and contamination of sewage systems or watercourses. In addition to this, there is the additional risk associated with holding flammable residues on site.
Slot drains are a regular feature on forecourts and regularly become blocked if not cleaned regularly. Cleaning these types of drains requires specialised equipment and a high level of operator awareness and experience.
Hazardous Waste
We collect a range of hazardous waste, contact our office for more details.
Bulk Waste Removal
The old saying ‘time is money’ is as true in waste management as in every other business, and we are constantly looking for ways to offer value for money.This reduction in traffic movement on your site also helps to reduce environmental damage. We also offer a range of 4, 6 and 8-wheeled rigid tankers. Our vehicles are fitted with specialist onboard equipment such as jetting lances, and we use tipping tankers for the speedy emptying of waste within the barrels. We can also remove heavy waste like bentonite, clay slurry and grout slurry.More complex projects involving combinations of vacuum tankers, jet tankers and articulated tankers are allocated a specific management resource.
