Are your treatment infrastructure operators facing challenges with high levels of COD, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfates, chlorine contamination or other pollutants? Elevated concentrations of these compounds can disrupt primary treatment, biological processes and water reuse and reduce the efficiency of your wastewater infrastructure, making it harder to comply with discharge regulations and resulting in frequent fines.

Waterleau R&D specialists can help identify the root causes of these anomalies or process deficiencies, helping your treatment system get back on track.

Need to reassess the eco-footprint of your water treatment infrastructure? Looking to save on energy and chemical costs or recover biogas from wastewater?
