Exciting specialist presentations, intensive exchange and new impulses from the field - at the 3rd Industrial Water Day at ALMAWATECH, everything revolved around innovative solutions in industrial water treatment.
The Water Resources Act (WHG) and the AwSV regulate the safe handling of substances hazardous to water. What companies must observe when storing, filling or using - explained in compact form.
As part of his master's thesis in the Environmental Protection course at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, David Bandlow worked on a current and practical topic from the field of industrial wastewater treatment at ALMAWATECH:
"Optimizing the generation of fine air bubbles in dissolved air flotation"
What does the path to a new wastewater treatment plant look like - step by step from the perspective of an engineer at an industrial company?
This is exactly what this interview with Tobias Höfer, Project Manager at MÖLLER Medical GmbH in Fulda, Germany, is about. The company, which has stood for precision in medical technology for over 70 years, planned and implemented a new chemical-physical wastewater treatment plant together with ALMAWATECH in 2023. In this interview, Mr. Höfer explains how he got to grips with the complex topic as a career changer, what challenges had to be overcome during the project planning and integration of the plant - and what really matters when choosing a plant manufacturer.
Wastewater treatment in the metal industry requires efficient and reliable solutions in order to comply with the legal requirements of Annex 40 of the Wastewater Ordinance and at the same time ensure economical and stable operation. Chemical-physical (CP) plants (also known as precipitation and flocculation plants) play a central role here, as they represent an efficient and adaptable method for treating industrial wastewater with different levels of contamination.
An article about our new, patented process for combined Fenton precipitation at neutral pH was published in Water Research. The study shows how micropollutants and organic loads can be removed efficiently and without lowering the pH - with great potential for water reuse. Worth reading for anyone involved in modern wastewater technology, trace substance elimination and oxidation processes!
A high TOC value is a major problem for industrial reverse osmosis and water recycling plants, as organic contamination impairs efficiency and increases operating costs. In this article, we show how our ALMA BioFil Compact biofiltration system effectively solves this challenge.
In industrial processes, water is far more than just an operating material - it is also a transport medium, reaction partner, energy source and safety element. This makes it all the more important to ensure the quality and stability of the respective water cycles in a targeted manner. This is precisely where ALMA AQUA process additives from ALMAWATECH come in: as a sophisticated product line for boiler, cooling, waste water and membrane systems.
ALMAWATECH welcomes master student Ann-Katrin Schnell, who is investigating the optimization of biofiltration for the treatment of vapour water as part of her final thesis at the Technical University of Central Hesse. Her focus is on the specific treatment of whey permeates for reuse in the food industry.
