Wastewater and sewage treatment

Wastewater treatment and wastewater treatment plant

Besides the treatment of recycled water, the wastewater from a paper mill is also subject to a purification process. One of the main criteria for forwarding to municipal sewage treatment plants is the chemical oxygen demand (COD), which is caused by residues of process chemicals and additives. Our flocculants and defoamers act as system cleaners in this process.
