ALMAWATECH welcomes Erik Seemann as its new specialist for control cabinet planning and automation. With his expertise in PLC programming, real-time control, and data analysis, he will strengthen the further development of our wastewater treatment and water purification systems.
Water reuse in industry is much more than just a "membrane project." Fluctuating inflow conditions are crucial for stable, economical plants, as they increase the risk of scaling and biofouling. The article shows why robust pre-treatment with buffering, solids and grease separation, and controlled nutrient balance is the key to success, and which technologies and design principles have proven themselves in practice.
The installation of the Krählwerke and high-performance lamella separators in the ALMA BHU LHPS system is proceeding according to plan despite winter conditions. The 5,000 m³/h river water treatment plant is also on schedule, thanks to strong local partners and continuous installation monitoring by our engineers.
One of the first cooling tower blowdown water recycling plants for a thermal power plant in Germany. Together with EEW, we are setting new standards in industrial water reuse.
Dairy wastewater varies greatly and often contains fats (FOG), high COD loads, and extreme pH peaks from CIP cleaning. In our article, we show how economical pretreatment with screening, aerated buffer, neutralization, and DAF flotation reliably reduces these loads: robust, measurement-based, and designed for industrial practice.
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.
