Contact Stephen J. Morgan | Water Treatment Consultancy

Whether you’re managing a compliance challenge at a treatment works, trying to get more consistent performance from your polymer programme, or simply wondering whether there’s a better approach to your site’s effluent management — I’d be genuinely pleased to hear from you.

My consultancy work grew directly out of years of environmental campaigning in Portsmouth South. Those experiences — listening to communities raising concerns about harbour water quality, industrial runoff, and sewage discharge — gave me a clear sense of why this work matters and who it ultimately serves. I try to bring that same directness and purpose to every client conversation I have.

How I Can Help

I offer independent, evidence-based consultancy across a range of wastewater treatment challenges, with particular expertise in polyacrylamide-based flocculant programmes. Typical enquiries include:

  • Polymer programme review and optimisation — if your PAM programme isn’t delivering the performance you’d expect, I can identify why and recommend practical improvements
  • Jar testing and polymer selection — structured, site-specific evaluation of anionic and cationic PAM flocculant options for your effluent chemistry
  • Sludge dewatering — improving cake dryness and reducing disposal costs across belt press, centrifuge, and filter press systems
  • Industrial effluent clarification — for quarries, aggregate processing sites, paper mills, food processors, and similar operations
  • Regulatory compliance — practical support for obligations under the Water Framework Directive, Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, and environmental discharge consents
  • Sustainability and net-zero reporting — understanding how optimised polymer programmes contribute to your broader environmental performance targets

I work independently and have no commercial relationship with any polymer supplier or chemical distributor. My recommendations reflect what your site conditions and the evidence suggest is best — nothing more, nothing less.

Every enquiry I receive is, at its core, a conversation about water — and that’s a conversation I’ve been having, in one form or another, since I first started knocking on doors in Portsmouth South. Whether your challenge is technical, regulatory, or operational, I’ll give you a straightforward, honest assessment of where things stand and what options are realistically available to you. No sales pitch, no obligation. Just practical advice from someone who has spent the better part of two decades working to close the gap between what’s possible and what’s actually happening in water treatment across the UK.

Get in touch. I’d be glad to talk.
