ALMAWATECH will be giving a technical presentation at the DWA workshop on the treatment of industrial and commercial wastewater in Kassel on March 10 and 11, 2025. Dr. Alessandro Meda and Laura Loreth will present the possible uses of aerobic biofilm processes in industrial applications as well as their performance limits and advantages.
This year, ALMAWATECH once again cordially invites you to the 3rd Industrial Water Day on June 3, 2025 - an event dedicated to current topics and challenges in industrial water and wastewater treatment.
Silicon compounds such as silicon dioxide and silicic acid are among the most problematic substances in water treatment with reverse osmosis systems. They can cause deposits and significantly impair the performance of the membranes. In this article, you will learn why silicon compounds pose a challenge and what effective measures are available to protect your system from damage.
The operation of evaporative cooling systems, cooling towers and wet separators entails a high level of responsibility, particularly with regard to the protection of the environment and human health. The 42nd BImSchV (42nd Federal Immission Control Ordinance) and VDI 2047 (guideline of the Association of German Engineers) are the central regulations in Germany for ensuring the safe operation of such systems and minimizing the risk of legionella spreading.

From softening and decarbonization to demineralization, special ion exchangers ensure that water is optimally treated to meet the respective requirements. In this article, we explain how these processes work and shed light on how mixed-bed filters further optimize water quality through precise fine purification.
The revision of the EU Urban Waste Water Directive (UWWD) marks a decisive turning point in water protection. With the aim of further reducing the environmental impact of wastewater, the directive brings significant changes for municipal and industrial players. This new regulation now faces the challenge of being transposed into national law within 30 months. The ambitious timetable requires rapid development of strategies and adjustments, both at political level and in practice.
Reverse osmosis systems are powerful, but sensitive to free chlorine, which can permanently damage the membranes. This article explains why this is the case, which chemical processes take place and how you can protect your reverse osmosis systems.
2024 was a year full of growth, innovation and success for our company. Despite challenging economic conditions, we achieved many milestones together with our employees, partners and customers. We would like to share the most important events and developments of our year below.
Ion exchangers are indispensable components in water treatment. They specifically remove dissolved ions from the water and adapt its quality to a wide range of requirements - whether for industrial processes, the production of demineralized water or the recycling of process water. In this article, we explain how cation and anion exchangers work, which ions can be removed by the different types of resin and when it makes sense to use a CO₂ trickle filter.
