RPA is a Chemical Engineering and Environmental Consultancy that specialises in providing practical and robust solutions to complex environmental situations involving wastes, effluents and emissions to atmosphere.

We focus on the underlying causes of problems rather than just the symptoms. Whilst we are always responsive to the Client’s exact requirements, our preferred approach is to identify the overall holistic solution rather than simply tackle the immediate problem. In this way, the solution is tailored to the particular process, the economics, and the other requirements of our Clients.

We provide a flexible and integrated approach that uses available or bespoke technology to ensure that the Client’s new or existing installations are both cost-effective and practical. Our recommendations always seek to comply with current and likely future environmental legislation, and generally avoid end-of-pipe solutions.
