UV oxidation is an advanced process that combines physical and chemical processes to efficiently remove organic pollutants, micropollutants and pathogenic microorganisms from water and wastewater. This process uses ultraviolet (UV) radiation in conjunction with oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) or ozone (O₃) to generate highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (-OH).
Demineralized water (demineralized water) is a high-purity water that is virtually free of dissolved ions, salts and minerals. It is used in numerous industrial applications where high purity standards are required. These include the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, power generation, electronics and food production.

The blocking index is a key indicator for assessing the fouling and blocking tendency of membranes in water technology applications. In reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) in particular, this index provides important information on the quality of the feed water and the risk of membrane damage due to fouling, scaling and scaling.
The retention time is a key parameter in industrial water and wastewater treatment. It describes the length of time that a medium - for example water or wastewater - remains in a specific treatment process or system. The retention time is crucial for the efficiency of chemical, physical and biological processes, as it
The fourth treatment stage is an extension of conventional wastewater treatment that goes beyond mechanical (first stage), biological (second stage) and chemical-physical processes (third stage). It is used to remove trace substances and micropollutants such as pharmaceutical residues, hormones, pesticides, microplastics or other organic and inorganic compounds that conventional processes cannot completely remove.
The pre-treatment of water and wastewater is an indispensable process step in industrial water treatment and wastewater treatment. Its primary objective is to treat raw water or wastewater streams in such a way that subsequent treatment steps run efficiently and the legal requirements for safe discharge into the public sewer system are met. In the process
Laundry wastewater is produced by industrial and commercial laundries that clean, dye or finish textiles in large quantities. Due to its complex composition, this wastewater places special demands on treatment and processing. It contains a variety of organic and inorganic impurities, including surfactants, oils, fats, dirt particles and chemical residues
Wash water refers to the wastewater produced during industrial cleaning processes. These water streams typically contain dissolved and undissolved impurities originating from the cleaned surfaces, products or equipment. In industrial water treatment, the treatment of wash water plays a crucial role in minimizing environmental pollution, complying with legal discharge limits and
Water treatment is an essential part of many industrial and technical processes. It includes all measures that change the physical, chemical and biological properties of raw water in order to make it usable for the respective purpose. In practice, the aim of water treatment is to remove impurities, improve water quality
Water treatment plants are central systems in industrial and municipal water management. They are used to treat raw water from natural sources or process water from industrial applications so that it is suitable for the intended use. These systems play a crucial role in ensuring water quality, resource efficiency and the quality of water.
