DHI has thorough expertise concerning pollution control of industries, industrial zones, institutions and other point and diffuse sources in urban areas. Clients are central and local authorities, as well as industries wishing to secure compliance and a green profile.
DHI assists environmental authorities to identify and regulate pollution point sources in sewer catchment areas (industries, institutions, households, run-off etc.). The prevention and reduction of discharges of xenobiotics, heavy metals and pharmaceuticals are crucial to protect the processes in the urban wastewater treatment plants (UWWTP), the sludge quality, the occupational health for sewer workers as well as health and environmental conditions in receiving waters. DHI posesses the knowledge and practical experience necessary to help build the institutional capacity of a wastewater pollution control system. This includes: source identification, GIS-tool overview, industrial sector regulation (permitting), charging systems, information campaigns etc.
Licensing and permitting (i.e. IPPC) of industrial discharges is a corner stone in the pollution control programmes. DHI integrates knowledge on regulation methods, sector specific best available techniques (BAT), environmental management systems (EMS) and risk assessments of pollutants when assisting authorities and industries. DHI has extensive knowledge of environmental regulations, BAT, and pre-treatment in numerous industries.
