Your reliable partner for river water treatment plants - for over 25 years

The extremely variable raw water quality is the most technically challenging aspect of any river water treatment system. Heavy rainfall events in particular lead to massive increases in the concentration of suspended solids and turbidity (often to > 1,000 NTU), which quickly overloads conventional systems in terms of hydraulics or process technology.

Our systems are designed to do just that:

Patented pre-treatment: ALMA BHU LHPS

Our ALMA BHU LHPS process ensures a drastically accelerated and stable separation process, even with extremely contaminated raw water.
Advantages:

• Up to 70 % faster than classic lamella or circular clarifiers

• Stable operation with extreme raw water peaks

• Significantly lower residual turbidity and therefore optimum conditions for the subsequent filtration stages

Adaptive real-time chemical dosing

Through continuous measurement of:

• Turbidity

• Conductivity

• Flow rate

the system adjusts the coagulation and flocculant dosing fully automatically and continuously - in the millisecond range.

The result:

• Constantly low residual turbidity at the filter inlet

• Minimal load on the filters and membranes

• Maximum operational reliability, even during extreme weather events

This enables us to achieve a target water quality that reliably meets even the most demanding industrial specifications.

Flexibility and future-proofing are essential components of our process engineering system concepts. Industrial water treatment systems must be able to adapt to changing raw water conditions, new quality requirements and further developed process standards. That is why we design our treatment chains in such a way that they can be modularly expanded, optimized or technologically upgraded without impairing existing processes.

Fully modular treatment chain - planned with the future in mind right from the start

Our system architecture is consistently modular, which means:

• Expansion without downtime

• No deep interventions in the existing infrastructure

• Complete integration of additional process stages

• Low CAPEX for subsequent retrofits

Possible extension modules:

• Activated carbon filtration (removal of trace substances)

• Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP / ozonation + UV / H₂O₂)

• Ultrafiltration (UF) as a hygiene barrier

• Reverse osmosis (RO) for very low salt content

• Ion exchange and polishing units for ultrapure water standards

This ensures that your system remains technologically and regulatory up to date for several decades.

Large systems of this size pose considerable technical, organizational and economic challenges. Errors in planning, interfaces or execution lead to massive additional costs or failures.

Proven success in major international projects

We have extensive references in the implementation of large-scale river water treatment plants, often in demanding industrial environments such as:

• Paper industry

• Steel and metal industry

• Petrochemistry

• Energy and power plant sector
