Liquid Waste Management

We ensure full adherence to environmental legislation, offering a secure, end-to-end solution for your entire operation.
The Specialist Challenge
Integrated waste stream solutions
Liquid waste streams, from cooling process water to chemical by-products, pose the most significant environmental and compliance risks to businesses. Managing these materials requires more than a collection service; it demands expert classification and a robust strategy to protect both your business and the wider environment. We focus on integrating management into your daily operations.
Here are some of the most complex sources of liquid waste we manage:
- Contaminated runoff and drainage from large-scale construction sites
- Grey water, bilge, sludge and freshwater ballast from marine operations, collected from port facilities or direct from vessels
- Chemical residues and hazardous process effluents from R&D and manufacturing facilities
- Fats, oils, and greases (FOG) from high-volume catering and food production sites
- Spent acids, alkaline wash solutions, and other corrosive liquids from industrial cleaning
- Pollutants and sediments from vehicle wash-bay and forecourt interceptors

Frequently Asked Questions
Liquid waste presents higher environmental and compliance risks because it can spread quickly, contaminate soil and water, and often contains hazardous substances. Unlike solid waste, liquids require specialist testing, classification and controlled handling to ensure the correct treatment route is used. Poor management can lead to pollution incidents and regulatory action.
Kane Enviro manages a wide range of complex liquid waste streams, including contaminated runoff from construction sites, grey water and bilge waste from marine operations, chemical process effluents, fats oils and grease (FOG), spent acids, alkaline wash solutions, and interceptor waste from vehicle wash bays and forecourts. Each stream is assessed individually to determine the safest and most compliant solution.
Before any disposal takes place, liquid waste is analysed and correctly classified by experienced consultants. This process involves testing, coding and reviewing the waste against current environmental regulations to ensure it is legally identified. Accurate classification is critical, as it determines the permitted transport method and treatment facility.
Kane Enviro takes a strategic approach to liquid waste management. We manage Duty of Care obligations, permits and documentation on your behalf, ensuring all waste movements are legally compliant and fully traceable. Our team also reviews waste streams regularly to ensure ongoing compliance as regulations and site conditions change.
Once collected, liquid waste is directed to licensed treatment or recovery facilities within our UK-wide network. Disposal routes are selected based on sustainability, regulatory requirements and cost efficiency. Where possible, waste is treated or recovered rather than disposed of, reducing environmental impact while maintaining compliance.
Our liquid waste management services support both long-term operational sites and short-term or specialist projects. We integrate waste management into daily operations where required, while also providing rapid response and scheduled services for shutdowns, maintenance work or environmental incidents.
