The replacement of reverse osmosis membranes in a river water treatment plant revealed that sand and gravel had irreversibly damaged the membranes. The case illustrates how crucial robust pre-treatment is in order to ensure operational safety, cost-effectiveness and a long service life.
Neutralization systems are indispensable components in industrial wastewater treatment. They ensure that acidic or alkaline wastewater is reliably adjusted to a permissible pH range, thus guaranteeing both legal limits and the protection of downstream processes. In addition to traditional neutralization with acids and alkalis, CO₂ neutralization is becoming increasingly important, as it is characterized by higher operational safety, better environmental compatibility and sustainable economic efficiency.
Visualization and control is an essential component of modern wastewater and process water systems. At ALMAWATECH, we develop the software in-house and adapt it individually to each system. With Siemens Unified Comfort Panels, we ensure a clear user interface, transparent process visualization and reliable data recording. This provides operators with a visualization that is precisely tailored to their technical requirements.
ALMAWATECH invites you to the first Industrial Water Day in Austria. An exciting program on chemical-physical and biological wastewater treatment, membrane technologies, research & development and trends in industrial water technology awaits you at Tabakfabrik Linz. Lectures, panel discussions and best-practice examples from industry and science make the event a central meeting point for the industry.
Find out how fully mixed reactors with biomass recirculation, UASB and EGSB systems work, what advantages each process offers and for which types of wastewater they are best suited. Including practical knowledge on dissolved and undissolved substances and their optimal treatment.
Technical internship with depth: Lea Ullrich, a student of process and environmental engineering at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, has been supporting us with pilot tests, design calculations and plant planning since July. Her commitment brings fresh perspectives to our process engineering projects - from laboratory tests to 3D models.
ALMAWATECH realizes a multi-stage wastewater treatment plant for the removal of nickel and copper compounds from the wastewater of a cold rolling mill. Lamella clarification, gravel filtration, ion exchange and pH neutralization ensure safe discharge in accordance with Annex 40 of the German Wastewater Ordinance (AbwV) - efficiently, compactly and fully automatically.
In a current project, we are planning the expansion of an existing river water treatment plant in Poland - with precise 3D design, our proven ALMA BHU LHPS pre-treatment technology and the robust ALMA BHU SMF sand filters. In this article, we provide an insight into the planning, show references and explain how we ensure the highest water quality for industrial applications.
Business administration student Elisabeth supports ALMAWATECH during her summer internship and gains exciting insights into the commercial processes of a medium-sized plant engineering company for water and wastewater technology.
Our ALMA Neutra neutralization system was successfully commissioned and now ensures the automatic neutralization of alkaline wastewater. Industrial companies are often faced with the challenge of reliably adjusting their wastewater to the permitted pH value before it is discharged. The ALMA Neutra was designed for a maximum throughput capacity of 75 m³ per day and enables precise pH regulation and optimum utilization of the used acids.
