Wastewater Management

One of the principal environmental problems in Mexico and in a large portion of Latin America is the pollution of bodies of water via the discarding of improperly treated wastewater. Currently, there are technological solutions available to provide adequate treatment to any kind of fluid. In this field, Lorax offers the following services:

  • Sampling and analysis
  • Treatment plant design and planning
  • Design and construction of treatment systems
  • Design and construction of septic tanks
  • Treatment plant maintenance and rehabilitation

Control of Emissions

The majority of industrial processes result in the release of various compounds into the atmosphere. Lorax has the personnel and specialized equipment required to measure and control emissions via the following services:

  • Combustible gas monitoring NOM SEMARNAT-085
  • Particle monitoring NOM-SEMARNAT-043
  • Odor monitoring
  • Noise monitoring
  • Design of conduction and control systems
  • Simulation of contaminant dispersal

Waste

The generation of non-toxic and toxic waste is the most serious environmental problem in Mexico. The lack of adequate infrastructure to reuse wastes or for their final confinement represents serious logistical, legal and economic problems for companies. The adequate management of wastes represents considerable savings for industries and avoids legal conflicts with authorities. In this field, Lorax offers the following services:

  • Preparation of management plans for industrial wastes
  • Technical and financial studies for the reutilization or recycling of wastes
  • Characterization and analysis of dangerous wastes
  • Construction and design of temporary and central holding areas for the transfer of wastes
  • Identification of potential landfill sites
