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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
