Wastewater treatment technologies
Physicochemical, biological and reuse processes that we combine according to the pollutant load, the flow and the quality your effluent must meet. Learn how each technology works and when it is the right choice.
7 technologiesPhysicochemical and biological
Physicochemical systems
They separate suspended solids, colloids, fats and oils. They are usually the first treatment stage or the pretreatment for a biological process.
Coagulation
Destabilizes colloidal particles through controlled coagulant dosing, so they can be separated in the following stages.
Flocculation
Clumps destabilized particles into larger flocs through slow mixing, making them easier to separate.
GEM system
Advanced flocculation and flotation from Clean Water Technologies in a single unit, to separate solids, fats and oils.
Biological systems
They use microorganisms to degrade biodegradable organic matter. Anaerobic processes work without aeration and generate biogas; aerobic processes achieve higher-quality effluents.
EGSB system
Expanded granular sludge anaerobic reactor for high organic load effluents, in a small footprint and with biogas generation.
MBBR system
Aerobic moving bed reactor: microorganisms attached to plastic carriers degrade organic matter in a compact volume.
MBR system
Membrane bioreactor that integrates biological degradation and membrane filtration in a compact system.
Reuse systems
They condition treated wastewater with filtration and membranes, according to the quality required by the reuse application.
Multimedia filtration
Retains remaining suspended solids and turbidity to protect the membranes and downstream processes.
Ultrafiltration (UF)
A physical barrier that retains bacteria, viruses, colloids and organic matter without chemicals.
Reverse osmosis (RO)
Removes dissolved salts and metals to obtain high-quality water suitable for reuse in demanding processes.
