Industrial wastewater contains a diversity of impurities and its treatment constitutes a special task. WABAG understand your business and offer sustainable solutions in order to meet the emission limits that are  constantly being tightened up. Closed circuits and product recovery in various production processes are becoming an increasing priority among manufacturing companies. 

WABAG can refer to its long-term experience in the industrial wastewater treatment sector. The resulting expertise is advantageously employed for the technical and economic optimisation of each subsequent facility. The treatment process may contain mechanical, biological and chemical physical process steps.

In the case of biological, anaerobic wastewater treatment we employ conventional processes and high performance reactors which possess a small footprint. We have completed a large number of large-scale plants on the basis of the world’s most frequently used UASB process. Other systems are also utilised in accordance with the characteristics of the wastewater, e.g. the activated sludge process or our high-performance BIOPUR® system for less polluted water. In the case of maximum cleaning requirements (e.g. water reuse) we employ membrane processes with submerged or external membranes. The advantages are considerable savings of liquid resources and practically zero discharge of wastewater.
