About Us

Our Mission

At NSI UK & Ireland, we believe water is our planet’s most precious resource, and it’s time everyone treats it that way. Our purpose is to be an advocate for water, ensuring that municipalities, industries, communities, and individuals across the UK and Ireland truly value it.

Beyond our daily work of providing reliable water supplies and responsible treatment solutions, we’re committed to acting and influencing others. Together, we can invest in saving water and innovate new models to preserve this vital resource.

For too long, we’ve treated clean water as an endless, cheap commodity, overlooking its true worth, but with increasing pressure on water quantity and quality, it’s clear this resource desperately needs revaluing – environmentally, socially, economically, and technologically. It’s time to turn the tide – we need to ensure water is valued as the revitalising force it has always been, making its benefits accessible to all.

We call this #MissionWater. Are you ready to join the movement and help us secure a sustainable water future for the UK and Ireland?

Our Services

Wastewater Treatment

Our wastewater treatment solutions are tailored to meet the specific needs of municipalities and industries, ensuring both regulatory compliance and sustainable outcomes. We employ a multi-stage approach, starting with primary treatment to remove solids and grit. Secondary treatment utilizes biological processes to reduce organic matter, followed by advanced tertiary treatment (like membrane filtration and nutrient removal) for more stringent requirements. Our solutions are customised for various industries, incorporating industry-specific technologies and resource recovery options. Additionally, we manage sludge treatment and disposal, employing techniques like thickening, dewatering, digestion, and sustainable disposal practices to minimize environmental impact and maximize value.

Mayflower Water Treatment Works (South West Water)

Commissioned by South West Water and officially opened in 2020, the Mayflower Water Treatment Works replaces the aging Crownhill plant in Plymouth. Serving about 250,000 residents , it meets increased urban demand and tightens regulation.

The project introduced a groundbreaking combination of technologies (SIX®, ILCA®, CeraMac®) following a pilot at Crownhill (2013–2015), addressing key challenges such as:

  • Delivering a compact, low-footprint footprint design in a constrained site

  • Removing dissolved organic carbon (DOC), pesticides, and microorganisms to meet stringent water quality standards

  • Reducing chemical usage, energy costs, and operating expenses

  • Ensuring reliable long-term operation and automatable performance

Sharp’s Brewery Wastewater Treatment Plant

Context

To support its growing production and reduce environmental impact, Sharp’s Brewery in Rock, Cornwall, invested in a sustainable wastewater treatment solution. As the first brewery in South West England to adopt UASB technology, Sharp’s aimed to turn wastewater into a resource—recovering energy and reducing its liquid waste footprint. The brewery needed a compact, efficient, and future-ready system that aligned with its environmental ambitions.

Solution

Nijhuis Saur Industries (NSI), part of Saur Group, designed, built, and commissioned a turnkey wastewater treatment plant for Sharp’s Brewery. The system includes a curved screen for spent grain recovery, a flocculation-flotation (DAF) unit for solids removal, and an AECOMIX™ UASB reactor for anaerobic digestion. A flash aeration step removes hydrogen sulfide before discharge. The biogas produced is reused on-site, supporting Sharp’s sustainability goals and reducing reliance on external energy sources
