Water and wastewater treatment

Each ton of recyclate consumes about 3 m³ of water during the washing process. This does not only lead to taking care of the quality of the incoming water but also a high demand on the waste effluent. It obligates us to re-use water as much as we can in order to reduce the consumption.

Our technologies can significantly reduce consumption in both water treatment and wastewater with tailored solutions for specific industries.
