Despite challenging economic conditions, 2025 was a successful year of growth for ALMAWATECH. With innovative water reuse solutions, sustainable concepts for cooling tower treatment, numerous projects at home and abroad, and a strong team reinforcement, we have achieved important milestones. A look back at a year full of development, partnerships, and technical innovation.
At the end of the year, we brought the past year to a close together at our Christmas party. In a pleasant atmosphere, with good food, live music, and many stimulating conversations with colleagues, it became clear what makes our company special: solidarity, commitment, and a strong sense of togetherness.
At the DWA Water Days 2025, ALMAWATECH presented practical insights into 30 years of industrial wastewater treatment and modern biofilm processes. The event demonstrated how important innovation, networking, and technical expertise are for the future of water management.
ALMAWATECH has commissioned a high-performance seawater treatment plant for the renowned GEOMAR Helmholtz Center in Kiel. The aim was to filter and treat raw water from the Kiel harbor basin in such a way that it meets the high requirements of marine biological and chemical research projects. The plant was planned and implemented with a particular focus on operational safety, corrosion protection and ease of maintenance. In this article, we show the technical highlights of the plant and take a look behind the scenes of the project.
In this compact interview and blog post, Gottlieb Hupfer explains how he built up a successful family business in plant engineering as a young engineer and played a decisive role in shaping industrial water technology over four decades. An inspiring insight into innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainable water technology.
The Industrial Water Day in Linz brought together experts, industry representatives and researchers to discuss key developments and practical solutions in industrial water and wastewater technology. Innovation, resource efficiency and the future of sustainable water treatment were the focus of specialist presentations, dialog rounds and best-practice contributions.
Practical laboratory and pilot plant tests form the basis for well-founded feasibility studies in industrial water and wastewater treatment.
In our pilot plant, we test the treatability of wastewater, develop suitable processes and validate process parameters under real conditions.
In our new image film, we show how ALMAWATECH turns a project inquiry into a complete water or wastewater treatment plant - from planning and plant construction to commissioning and the supply of process additives. Get to know our way of working and find out how we combine technology, experience and service to create integrated solutions.
An ALMA CHEM MCW CP batch plant was successfully commissioned in Leipzig. It treats around 20 m³ of specialty chemicals wastewater per week and reliably removes heavy metals, AOX, hydrocarbons and chromium(VI). Precipitation, flocculation, neutralization, chamber filter press, gravel filter and ion exchanger ensure compliance with the limit values in Annex 40.
A modern ALMA BHU EGSB reactor in stainless steel construction was successfully commissioned at a leading bioethanol producer. The two-stage reactor (680 m³, 24 m high, 6 m diameter) is designed for a load of 10,000 kg COD/day and mainly treats vapor condensates and mixed wastewater from production. Thanks to the innovative 3-phase separator with round gas collection system, the plant operates stably, without clogging and without foaming - and at the same time produces valuable biogas for the energy supply.
