Wastewater Filtration & Recycling Systems

Water is one of Australia’s most valuable resources. In many regions, it is also one of the most limited. GPS Environmental designs and supplies advanced wastewater filtration and recycling systems that help businesses reduce water consumption, minimise discharge costs and operate more sustainably.

Our wastewater recycling systems allow operations to capture, treat and reuse water that would otherwise be wasted. Whether for wash-down applications, industrial processes or rainwater harvesting, our systems are engineered for efficiency, compliance and long-term cost savings.

For metropolitan, regional and remote sites alike, water recycling is no longer optional. It is smart operational management.

Wastewater filtration and recycling involves treating used water to remove contaminants so it can be safely reused within an operation.

Instead of discharging all wastewater to sewer or stormwater, a recycling system:

• Captures used water at source
• Removes solids, oils and contaminants
• Filters and treats the water
• Returns it for reuse in suitable applications

The majority of liquid waste generated on industrial and commercial sites can be recycled. However, this opportunity is often overlooked when installing wastewater treatment systems, leading to unnecessary long-term water costs.

By integrating filtration and recycling into your wastewater management strategy, you reduce reliance on mains supply while improving environmental performance.

Recycling water allows continuous reuse of one of our most vital resources. In Australia, where drought conditions and water restrictions are common, responsible water management is critical.

Water recycling systems:

• Reduce demand on potable water supplies
• Lower trade waste and discharge volumes
• Minimise environmental impact
• Support corporate sustainability targets

Recycled water, once properly treated, can safely re-enter operational processes for non-potable uses such as washdown, dust suppression and equipment cleaning.

For many businesses, wastewater recycling transforms a cost centre into a resource stream.

Investing in wastewater recycling systems in Australia delivers measurable commercial advantages.

These include:

• Reduced mains water consumption
• Lower excess water charges
• Decreased trade waste discharge costs
• Improved environmental credentials
• Competitive advantage with environmentally conscious clients

Industries that rely heavily on water during daily operations often experience significant long-term savings by installing filtration and recycling systems.

In remote locations, where water access is limited or expensive, recycling becomes even more valuable. GPS Environmental designs systems specifically for remote and regional operations where water security is essential.

Wastewater treatment and recycling systems are suitable for a wide range of Australian industries and applications.

Wash-down bays, truck wash facilities and car washes generate substantial volumes of wastewater. Recycling systems allow treated water to be reused for ongoing wash operations, significantly reducing fresh water demand.

Common applications include:

• Truck and heavy vehicle wash bays
• Commercial car washes
• Equipment hire locations
• Industrial crate washing facilities
• Mechanical workshops

Wash bay water recycling is particularly effective when integrated with oil water separators and pre-treatment systems.

Industrial and construction environments often require water for cleaning, dust suppression and process activities.

Recycling systems can support:

• Small to large industrial workshops
• Construction sites
• Manufacturing facilities
• Dust suppression systems

By filtering and reusing water on-site, businesses reduce operational costs and environmental footprint.

Rainwater and stormwater harvesting form an important part of integrated water recycling systems.

Captured rainwater from:

• Parking lots
• Industrial estates
• Commercial estates
• Roof catchments
• Remote agricultural sites

can be filtered and reused for non-potable applications.

Rainwater harvesting systems reduce dependence on mains supply and provide a supplementary water source during dry periods.

Water management challenges vary across Australia, from urban trade waste limitations to remote site water scarcity.

GPS Environmental wastewater filtration systems are designed to:

• Handle variable water quality
• Integrate with existing treatment infrastructure
• Operate efficiently in harsh climates
• Comply with local authority discharge standards

We assess each site individually, considering flow volumes, contamination levels and reuse objectives before recommending a tailored recycling solution.

Wastewater filtration and recycling should not be treated as an afterthought. When integrated during system design, recycling can significantly improve overall wastewater management performance.

GPS Environmental can incorporate recycling into:

• Sewage treatment systems
• Oil water separation systems
• Wash bay treatment infrastructure
• Stormwater management systems

By viewing wastewater as a recoverable resource rather than a disposable by-product, businesses gain long-term financial and environmental benefits.

As water costs rise and environmental regulations tighten, wastewater recycling systems in Australia are becoming standard practice rather than optional upgrades.

Forward-thinking organisations are investing in water recycling to:

• Future-proof operations
• Improve sustainability reporting
• Reduce operational risk
• Strengthen environmental compliance

Water is too valuable to use once and discard.
