INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Every Industrial Wastewater Is Different.

Commercial and industrial wastewater treatment requires solutions adapted to widely varying wastewater characteristics. Industrial effluents can differ significantly in composition, pollutant loads and treatment requirements depending on the production process and application.

AAA develops customized wastewater treatment systems designed to achieve reliable treatment performance, meet discharge or reuse requirements and support efficient long-term operation.

CUSTOMIZED INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS

Engineered Around Your Wastewater.

Industrial wastewater treatment starts with the wastewater itself. Flow rates, COD and BOD loads, suspended solids, oils and greases, nutrients, salinity, heavy metals and other process-specific contaminants determine which treatment concept is technically and economically suitable.

AAA combines physical, chemical and biological processes according to the specific requirements of each project. From pre-treatment and biological treatment to advanced filtration and water reuse, each process stage is selected to achieve the required treatment performance with reliable and efficient operation.
