New 4 million euro Cork facility for Enva
Date: 12 April 2007
| Enva have announced the creation of a new 4 million euro water treatment aid production and waste transfer station facility in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork. The new facility will also see an expansion of its Research and Development department on the site. |
 |
| The purpose built 20,000 sq ft operation will employ 25 people and will house the company’s new state of the art microbiological and chemistry laboratories and its existing water treatment business. This will serve a wide range of customers across the entire spectrum of pharmachem, food processing, paper, general industrial, municipal water and wastewater. |
|
| Enva also plans to increase its research and development staff to 7 full-time employees, who will test and create cleaner and more efficient treatment procedures. This department currently has links with Queen’s University, the Cork Institute of Technology, and Enterprise Ireland, and through this approach, Enva hopes to expand these services to broader markets in Ireland and beyond. In particular, Enva hopes to capitalise on the development of a unique electro-coagulation water recycling technology, developed through its Cork operations, which can reduce industrial water consumption by as much as 90%. |
|
| Enva’s R&D department will be backed up by 10 additional employees based permanently at the facility, and will test and develop treatment options that will be implemented by onsite field specialists throughout the country. |
 |
| This new facility will also allow Enva to expand its offering, and use its expertise across a range of service options for drinking water, such as water audits, laboratory analysis for chemical and microbiological contaminants. It will also house Enva’s extensive offering of treatment options, including chemical products, dosing & control systems, activated carbon filters, and UV Technology, which is a proven technology for the inactivation of Cryptosporidium along with a wide range of other water borne bacteria, algae, moulds, yeasts, viruses, cysts and protozoa. |
|
| Commenting on the announcement Declan Ryan, Managing Director, Enva said; “Our success in the Water Treatment sector has been built on the foundation that we are not just chemical providers but solutions providers, backed up by highly qualified, professional employees who understand that no two customers or applications are the same. This new facility will increase our capabilities and efficiencies, not just in all areas of water & effluent treatment, but in various other areas of waste management through leveraging opportunities with our Portlaoise, Shannon and Dublin operations.” |
|
| This facility adds to Enva’s network of licensed premises throughout the country, and it will also operate as a Hazardous Waste Transfer Station serving Cork and the South-West region. The facility will largely serve smaller producers of hazardous wastes, such as garages and photo shops, allowing small waste collections to be stored temporarily until transferred to Enva’s larger processing facilities. Enva plans to significantly expand these services through its Cork facility over the coming year. |
