What can affect your treatment plant’s performance?
Operating conditions, component wear and lack of timely maintenance can alter the performance of water and wastewater treatment systems. Identifying these conditions makes it possible to determine the necessary technical interventions and reduce the risk of operating failures.
- Unplanned shutdownsEquipment failures or unavailable spare parts that interrupt system operation.
- Water quality deviationsPhysicochemical or microbiological parameters that don’t meet the specifications applicable to the process.
- Membrane and resin deteriorationFouling, scaling or loss of treatment capacity linked to operating and maintenance conditions.
- Operating limitationsLack of staff with the specific knowledge to carry out operating tasks and spot anomalies.
- Incomplete technical recordsMissing logbooks, measurement results and intervention history, which make it hard to trace how the system has performed.
Why entrust your plant’s operation and maintenance to Sanitron?
- Fewer unplanned shutdownsPlanned interventions and periodic equipment inspections help identify signs of wear and potential failures, reducing operating interruptions caused by maintenance issues.
- System operational continuityTracking operating conditions makes it possible to detect deviations and determine the technical actions needed to keep the system running according to the facility’s requirements.
- Technical knowledge of the systemsSanitron brings together experience in designing, installing and maintaining water treatment systems, which makes it easier to assess equipment and identify interventions suited to its characteristics.
- Traceability of interventionsMaintenance logs and technical reports document the activities performed, the conditions observed and the corrective actions taken.
- Operational monitoring with Sanitron 360Sanitron 360 can complement the monitoring of your water treatment system with operating information available remotely.

Frequently asked questions about operation and maintenance
Can Sanitron maintain a plant it didn’t install?
Yes. We first assess the system’s characteristics, condition and operating conditions to determine the service scope.
What’s the difference between preventive and corrective maintenance?
Preventive maintenance consists of scheduled activities to inspect and preserve the equipment. Corrective maintenance is carried out to diagnose and address faults detected in the system.
How often should maintenance be performed?
Frequency depends on the installed technology, operating conditions, manufacturers’ recommendations and each plant’s needs.
Can Sanitron take over the full operation of my plant?
Yes. We offer outsourced operation, depending on the facility’s characteristics and the conditions set out in the contract.
Does Sanitron make technical visits before defining the service?
Yes. The technical assessment reveals the equipment condition, operating conditions and maintenance needs so we can define the service scope.
How can I request a quote for my plant?
Send us information about your system, the installed equipment and your maintenance needs. With that information we can assess the requirements and define the next steps.
