Life Cycle Cost Solutions for Water & Wastewater

Delivering efficiency, reliability, and guaranteed long-term value.

Envirogen brings together technology, engineering expertise, and operational experience to deliver high-performance water and wastewater treatment solutions – with proven results at hundreds of sites worldwide.

Our holistic approach to asset management combines strategic planning, technology integration, and long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) delivery. Whether you’re planning a new installation or improving the performance of existing infrastructure, we provide total cost of ownership solutions – not just CAPEX, but also OPEX, compliance, and operational reliability over the full lifecycle. This is the foundation of our Life Cycle Costing (LCC) approach.

At the core of our LCC methodology:

  • Greater financial sustainability and cost certainty
  • Better resource allocation and risk reduction
  • Lower operational costs over time
  • Clearer justification for investment decisions

Strategic Approach to Long-Term Value

A synergy of technology, expertise, and experience – with guaranteed performance.

We combine process design, equipment expertise, and lifecycle assurance with full O&M delivery, compliance oversight, and technical support, all built around your site needs and operating conditions.

Our strategic approach helps clients make informed decisions, optimise resources, and improve long-term financial sustainability. Through our LCC model, we deliver value-for-money solutions with fully warrantied performance – supporting reliable operations and long-term success.

Our lifecycle service capabilities support:

  • Appropriately chosen and applied water treatment technologies
  • Wastewater treatment for discharge or reuse
  • Groundwater treatment and remediation
  • Superfund operations
  • Stormwater systems
  • Industrial wastewater treatment
  • Process water treatment
  • Air, vapour, and emissions treatment

Client-Focused and Technology-Agnostic

We’re not tied to specific technologies – we’re tied to outcomes. Our role is to recommend the right solution based on a full understanding of your needs, ensuring the best fit for your application, your goals, and your operating environment.

The Risk of Capital Bid Assumptions in Lifecycle Decision-Making

Organisations often face challenges when making purchase decisions based solely on capital bids, as these decisions frequently rely on assumptions that do not materialise. Systems may fall short of expected lifespan, with limited warranties and underestimated operational costs – from maintenance and labour to energy and chemical usage. These oversights can lead to unexpected downtime, compliance issues, and escalating costs.

A life cycle costing approach provides a more accurate, long-term view by assessing both acquisition and operational costs. It enables more informed comparisons between options based on real-world performance, reliability, and total financial impact over the full lifecycle of the asset.

The 25/75 Principle

Over a 20-year lifecycle, up to 75% of a system’s total cost is typically incurred during the operating period – from maintenance and labour to chemicals and energy. In contrast, up to 25% is spent during the design and build phase.

That’s why decisions based on CAPEX alone can result in higher total expenditure, reduced efficiency, and costly surprises. Our LCC method helps you take control of the full cost picture – improving long-term outcomes and justifying investment through measurable value.

Single-Pass Ion Exchange

For ongoing peace of mind, our systems are backed by a performance guarantee over the lifetime of the regenerable IX system installation, creating the best opportunity for an optimized life-cycle cost. This manages the risk of non-compliance and allows clients to focus on their core business.

Envirogen has over 20 years of turnkey design, installation, and operations and maintenance (O&M) experience with dewatering and groundwater turn-key remediation projects at more than 100 sites. Our integrated O&M offering includes engineering, process, treatability, and other technical services as important components. This commitment of technical expertise in support of O&M allows us to be flexible to adapt to changing conditions for maximum reliability.

It’s important to note that life-cycle costs are site-specific, highly dependent on flow rate, type of operation, and water chemistry. This context underlines the importance of our flexible approach, allowing us to meet the unique needs of each site and maintain compliance over time.
