From wastewater to resource
From wastewater to resource – optimising recycling processes for plastic packaging Plastics recycling – especially the recycling of plastic packaging – is becoming increasingly important for a functioning circular economy. However, in addition to the actual recycling process, one aspect is increasingly coming into focus: the treatment of the wastewater produced. Washing plastics produces large […]

Further development of wastewater treatment in the oil and gas sector
Advanced electrochemical oxidation with boron-doped diamond (BDD AEOP) The oil and gas industry is facing growing challenges in wastewater treatment. Upstream and downstream processes generate complex wastewater streams that contain large quantities of hydrocarbons, heavy metals and persistent organic substances. Processes such as biological or chemical-physical treatment are reaching their limits. Although activated carbon and […]
Wastewater treatment in extreme climate fields
Efficient wastewater treatment in hot and cold regions: Temperature management in containerised wastewater treatment plants Biological wastewater treatment is a central component of modern, decentralised water infrastructure. Containerised wastewater treatment plants in particular offer flexible solutions for remote, mobile or climatically extreme locations. An often underestimated but decisive factor for the stable operation of these […]
Treating more wastewater for less money
Developments and challenges in municipal wastewater treatment Germany began targeted investments in wastewater treatment plants in the 1970s to respond to growing public pressure and increasing pollution. The Water Management Act (WHG) of 1976 created a binding framework for the first time, requiring industry and municipalities to treat wastewater before discharging it into the environment. […]
Modular wastewater treatment for the Food and Beverage sector
Water, wastewater and the food and beverage sector The food and beverage industry is a major contributor to wastewater production in Europe, with significant environmental implications. In the European Union, the food and beverage sector is responsible for approximately 60% of all water consumption, highlighting the substantial water footprint associated with this sector. This industry […]
