Solutions / Wastewater
Turn your wastewater treatment into a solution for your operation
We design and integrate domestic and industrial wastewater treatment systems, adapted to the flow, pollutant load and discharge or reuse requirements of each project.
- Domestic and industrial wastewater
- Physicochemical and biological treatment
- Solutions for discharge and reuse
- 40+ yearsEngineering experience
- 3 areasTreatment solutions: physicochemical, biological and advanced
- Tailor-madeDesign adapted to each effluent
Every effluent requires a specific treatment solution
Wastewater has variable characteristics depending on its origin, composition and production process. Treating it requires identifying the contaminants present, assessing the flow and setting the effluent quality objectives.
At Sanitron we develop treatment solutions adapted to the conditions of each operation, aimed at reducing the pollutant load and meeting the applicable requirements for discharge or water reuse.
What do we assess?
- Effluent characteristicsSuspended solids, organic matter, fats, nutrients and other relevant contaminants.
- Operating conditionsFlow, load variations and process needs.
- Treatment objectiveDischarge in line with applicable requirements, or conditioning of the water for reuse.
- Treatment technologyProcess selection based on the required quality and the project conditions.
What you achieve with proper treatment
- Regulatory complianceTreatment aimed at meeting the applicable discharge limits for the activity and the effluent’s destination.
- Environmental protectionReduction of the pollutant load to minimize the impact on receiving water bodies.
- Water reuseConditioning of the treated effluent for reuse applications according to the required quality.
- Operational efficiencySelection of treatment technologies based on flow, pollutant load and operating conditions.
Proper treatment makes it possible to control the pollutant load, meet the applicable discharge requirements and evaluate water reuse opportunities.
Treatment solutions
We integrate physicochemical, biological and reuse systems to address the characteristics of each wastewater. We select technologies based on the pollutant load, the flow and the effluent quality objectives, from initial treatment to possible reuse.
01Physicochemical systems
They separate suspended solids, fats and other contaminants through coagulation, flocculation, flotation or sedimentation processes, depending on the effluent characteristics.
Technologies and processes
CoagulationFlocculationGEM systemSedimentation
See physicochemical technologies- 02
Biological systems
They use microorganisms to reduce biodegradable organic matter. Process selection depends on the pollutant load, the flow and the operating conditions.
Technologies
See biological technologies - 03
Reuse systems
They condition treated wastewater through filtration and membrane separation processes, according to the quality required for reuse in applications compatible with the effluent characteristics.

Regulations applicable to wastewater treatment and discharge
Every project must consider the environmental requirements for the type of effluent, the activity and the discharge destination. These are some of the main regulatory references for Ecuador, Peru and Colombia.
- EC
Ecuador
- Ministerial Agreement 097-AAnnex 1 of Book VI of TULSMASets environmental quality criteria and effluent discharge limits to water resources, according to the applicable conditions and categories.
- PE
Peru
- Supreme Decree No. 003-2010-MINAMSets the maximum permissible limits for effluents from domestic or municipal wastewater treatment plants.
- Supreme Decree No. 010-2019-VIVIENDARegulates the maximum allowable values for non-domestic wastewater discharges into the sanitary sewer system.
- CO
Colombia
- Resolution 0631 of 2015Sets parameters and maximum permissible limit values for point discharges to surface water bodies and public sewer systems.
- Resolution 1256 of 2021Regulates the use of wastewater and establishes provisions related to its reuse.
What treatment does your wastewater need?
Every effluent has particular conditions. We assess its characteristics, flow and treatment objectives to identify the most suitable technologies for your operation.
