Irish Enterprise Awards 2026

Irish Enterprise Awards 2026 Across Ireland, challenges in managing industrial discharges and wastewater treatment are increasing. According to a report published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in October last year, wastewater from 59% of Ireland’s existing treatment plants fail to meet standards designed to prevent pollution. As a result, poorly treated effluent can enter rivers, lakes and coastal waters, putting ecosystems at risk. Many industrial facilities are also struggling to monitor and optimise discharge processes effectively, leading to compliance risks and environmental damage. As regulatory pressure increases and infrastructure continues to age, the requirement for accurate environmental monitoring and smarter waste optimisation has never been greater. Industrial Discharge Monitoring by Concept Solutions offers a comprehensive range of solutions and services to customers including food and beverage companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and wastewater treatment plants.

AIM-Jan26068 Concept Solutions’ Frame-Mounted Monitoring System is one of the company’s core offerings. This fully assembled unit makes environmental monitoring fast and easy to install. The system arrives as a ready-to-go station, with sensors, valves and control equipment already mounted on a single frame. Once delivered, the unit is simply secured in place and connected, allowing operators to begin monitoring discharge flows and water quality almost immediately. Combining measurement, control and cloud-based data reporting in one compact system, the frame-mounted monitoring system offers clients a reliable way to track what’s leaving their site and respond quickly if problems arise. Where deeper analysis is required, Concept Solutions also provides Analytical Monitoring Stations. Housing specialist instruments, these systems measure the chemical and physical properties of wastewater, such as pH, turbidity, temperature and other key indicators of water quality. By continuously analysing these parameters, operators gain a clear picture of the treatment process and can identify potential issues before they become compliance problems. The result is reliable monitoring, better process control and greater confidence that discharge standards are being met. Understanding exactly how much wastewater is leaving a site is just as important as knowing its quality. Discharge Flowmeters provide accurate measurements of the volume and rate of wastewater being released from industrial facilities or treatment plants. This information helps operators track usage patterns, identify unusual discharge events and demonstrate regulatory compliance. Reliable flow data also enables organisations to make more informed decisions about treatment processes and reduce unnecessary waste. Auto-Samplers add another important layer of monitoring by automatically collecting wastewater samples at set intervals or during
