Wastewater and sludge treatment

Wastewater treatment solutions range from standard municipal and industrial processes to advanced multi‑stage systems, covering both new developments and complex sites, as well as cost‑effective upgrades and sustainability‑focused modernizations.

In this context, the treatment and drying of the resulting sewage sludge play a crucial role. Reducing the sludge volume by dewatering techniques like solar sludge drying or sludge incineration leads to significant cost savings in terms of handling, transportation, and disposal. At the same time, the recovery of valuable resources - particularly nutrients such as phosphorus - is becoming increasingly important, both from an economic and an environmental sustainability perspective. The biogas that is produced during the treatment process can be used to produce renewable electricity and thereby increase the overall energy efficiency of our plants.
