Environmental Consulting

At AEKS, we provide specialist environmental consulting services focused on the management of industrial, hazardous, and non-conforming waste streams. Our mission is to help clients across sectors—such as Oil&Gas, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, metal processing, and energy production—navigate complex regulatory landscapes, ensure full compliance with environmental legislation, and reduce operational and reputational risks associated with waste management.

With over three decades of applied field experience and regulatory knowledge, we offer strategic guidance and hands-on technical support throughout the full waste lifecycle, from generation and classification to treatment, recovery, and disposal.

Core Areas of Expertise

1. Waste Identification & Classification
We support the systematic identification, sampling, and categorization of industrial waste, including:

• Oily sludges and emulsions from separators and maintenance operations
• Chemical cleaning residues, rinses, and reaction slops
• Contaminated soil, tank bottom waste, and filter cake
• Complex mixed streams, including solids-liquids-organics combinations

Classification is conducted in accordance with the European Waste Catalogue (EWC codes), HP criteria for hazardous waste, and relevant ADR transport regulations.

2. Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) & Pre-treatment Assessment
For landfill or incineration routes, we carry out Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) analysis to determine compatibility with receiving facilities, and advise on pre-treatment options to meet acceptance thresholds.
Our consultants assess:

• Leachability and stabilization potential
• TOC, heavy metal, hydrocarbon, and solvent content
• Flash point, pH, and biodegradability indicators

Where waste cannot be directly disposed of, we design pre-treatment plans using dewatering, solidification, oxidation, or separation technologies.

3. Permitting & Regulatory Compliance
AEKS guides clients through the preparation and submission of:

• Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA / EIS) and baseline risk reports
• Environmental permits under international standards and local frameworks
• Waste storage and transportation compliance

Our team ensures that site practices, documentation systems, and operational procedures align with EU directives (Waste Framework, Water Framework, Landfill, and REACH) as well as local licensing conditions.

4. Sustainability & Circular Economy Planning
We help clients explore waste-to-resource strategies and reduce environmental impact by:

• Evaluating resource recovery opportunities (e.g., oil, water, metals)
• Developing on-site treatment and reuse pathways
• Advising on emission reduction and carbon accounting linked to waste management

These programs are designed to contribute to ISO 14001, ESG performance reporting, and alignment with corporate sustainability targets.

Deliverables & Assurance

All AEKS consulting engagements are supported by:

• Technical reports and compliance documentation (GDP-aligned)
• Analytical data sets from accredited third-party labs
• Regulatory correspondence management and audit readiness
• Digital documentation systems for traceability and data security

We ensure that clients are always prepared for inspections, stakeholder reporting, and environmental audits—reducing risks and building long-term operational resilience.
