Wastewater treatment –
plants and strategies
for wastewater disposal

Professional wastewater treatment for clean results.

Wherever people live and work, large amounts of wastewater are generated. Before this water can be re-used, all the substances that humans have added to the water need to be removed. This can only be achieved with state-of-the-art application-specific treatment in a wastewater treatment plant – and with well thought-out wastewater management that enables sustainable and cost-effective wastewater treatment.

Our WTE Group plans, builds and operates cutting-edge wastewater treatment plants worldwide, including the accompanying infrastructure. We ensure that municipal and industrial wastewater undergoes the best possible treatment and that all legal limits are complied with. We create energy- and cost-efficient solutions that conserve resources and guarantee water quality.

Advantages
Smart wastewater treatment – the advantages at a glance
Benefit from our experience and expertise

For more than 30 years, our WTE Group has been a strong partner for wastewater treatment matters. We work with you to identify what requirements are relevant for your plant and what special considerations apply. On the basis of your specifications, we design a wastewater treatment plant from scratch or put together concepts for refurbishing or modernising existing facilities. In addition to the plant design, we advise municipalities on financing. We also take care of professional plant construction on the basis of our designs. Once the building work has been completed on schedule, we are happy to share our expertise when it comes to the operational management of the plants.

  • Decades of experience in design/construction/operation
  • Comprehensive solutions from a single source (plant and distribution network)
  • Custom design in accordance with local conditions
  • Intensive quality control
  • New build / extension / refurbishment / optimisation
  • Selection of appropriate treatment methods
  • Wastewater treatment in accordance with sustainability aspects
  • Energy-efficiency and cost-effectiveness as guiding principles

Every day, several million cubic metres of water pass through wastewater treatment plants all over the world that were built or modernised by us. We make the valuable resource water safe and usable again.

Services
Treatment of wastewater – our services at a glance
Sustainability, efficiency and safety – you can expect all this and more.

Professional wastewater treatment involves more than just building a treatment plant. Every project requires an overall plan: in addition to ensuring compliance with legal regulations, it is ultimately also important to create the right infrastructure for the wastewater plant. Precise planning for each construction project is just as important as sustainable and cost-effective operation. We have expertise in all of these areas – with our knowhow we ease the burden of the public authorities and industry.

Tailored wastewater treatment – from design and construction to operation.

We work with you to identify what requirements are relevant for your plant and what special considerations apply. On the basis of your specifications, we design a wastewater treatment plant from scratch or put together concepts for refurbishing or modernising existing facilities. In addition to the plant design, we advise municipalities on financing. We also take care of professional plant construction on the basis of our designs. Once the building work has been completed on schedule, we are happy to share our expertise when it comes to the operational management of the plants.

  • Consultation and design as needed
  • Tailored dimensioning of the plants
  • Realisation for municipalities of all sizes
  • General contractor for plant construction projects
  • High level of expertise in financing solutions
  • Energy-efficient and cost-effective overall strategies
Infrastructure on site – powerful distribution networks

We secure your future. In addition to building wastewater treatment plants, we plan and set up distribution networks, refurbish them or expand their capacities, and operate them if so required by our customers. We take on responsibility in planning and construction with special requirements and complex challenges. Outlet lines that discharge into the sea in combination with micro-tunnelling have been successfully implemented in our projects, for example. With our expertise in pipeline construction, we ensure that both wastewater and treated sewage effluent (TSE) can be transported safely and smoothly to irrigate green areas and farmland, and that the distribution network as a whole is operated efficiently.

  • Planning of plant and distribution network as a whole
  • Consultation regarding modernisation / refurbishment / extension
  • Construction implementation from a single source
  • Experience in construction challenges
  • Set-up of entire systems (pumping stations / reservoirs)
  • Wastewater analysis / laboratory tests

The infrastructure and the knowhow for disposing of wastewater are not available in every region. This is why we supply comprehensive solutions from the collection and purification of wastewater to organised disposal of the residual materials.

Functioning wastewater treatment is a key element in the provision of public services. As the WTE Group, we have gathered international experience in this area, enabling us to design and realise plants for wastewater treatment as needed worldwide. Millions of households in a great number of countries rely on our services every day. Take a look at some of our reference projects or contact us for one-to-one consultation.

Energy from wastewater – greater sustainability in operation.

Our plant concepts are designed to achieve maximum efficiency. By consistently using renewable energy, for instance with plants for sewage sludge incineration, operating CHPs and similar solutions, we create systems that are predominantly energy-self-sufficient. Many of our wastewater treatment plants can almost entirely supply their own energy, which not only lowers resource use and operating costs but above all reduces environmental impact and promotes biodiversity in ecosystems. In parallel with this, we develop in-house solutions that can harness energy from wastewater at microbial level, for example. With this research, we are paving the way for new, forward-looking approaches in wastewater treatment.

  • Decades of experience as general contractor
  • Comprehensive solutions from a single source for plants and distribution networks
  • New build / extension / refurbishment / optimisation
  • Tailored consultation
  • Expertise in financing solutions
  • Optimised combination of procedural steps
  • Custom design and structural implementation in accordance with local conditions
  • Reliable quality management
  • Sustainable operation in terms of energy-efficiency and cost-effectiveness
Wastewater treatment – established procedure for eliminating pollutants.

Selecting a suitable purification concept on the basis of the wastewater composition is a crucial factor in efficient wastewater treatment and determines the subsequent design steps. We use not only well-established cutting-edge purification processes but also forward-looking solution strategies from our own research and development in compliance with the relevant standards and specifications.

Our expertise is the result of our many years of operating wastewater treatment plants in Germany and abroad with individual requirements that are incorporated into the overall concept for the plant design. The following have proven their worth and been shown to be effective:

  • Mechanical pre-treatment
  • Primary treatment
  • Biologische Abwasserreinigung
    – MBR
    – MBBR
    – SBR
    – Nitrification/denitrification
  • Advanced wastewater treatment
    – Membrane technology
    – Filtration
    – Precipitation
    – Flocculation
    – Sedimentation
  • Sludge treatment:
    – Stabilisation
    – Composting
    – Drying
    – Incineration
  • Hybrid methods
