Rethinking municipal wastewater treatment
There has been a major rethink among local authorities, water associations, utilities companies and any other groups handling the raw material water. Namely moving away from disposal and focusing instead on modern wastewater treatment. This means both recovering the recyclable materials, such as phosphorus, from the water and using the wastewater as a source of energy. Sewage treatment plants have huge potential here – a potential that should be exploited wherever possible. The biogas that is produced from sewage sludge can be used to cover the sewage treatment plant’s own electricity and heat requirements and be fed into the national grid as well.
Two cornerstones of our philosophy:
Depending on the plant design and material flow concept, municipal wastewater treatment can serve as both a source of raw materials and a source of energy.
Together with the CUTEC Clausthal Research Center for Environmental Technologies, we have steadily been making advances in the field of bio-electrochemical fuel cells – i.e. generating electricity by biologically breaking down organic substances in wastewater.

New values instead of the same old story –
A full range of services for your plant operations‘Relieving the pressure’ – this is one of the main arguments that private sector water companies make to convince local authorities of the benefits of working with them in the area of municipal wastewater treatment. And it’s an argument that makes sense as relieving the pressure on public sector finances and personnel resources is certainly important. But this is just one of many arguments. Our service concept goes quite a bit further. Our goal is not simply to manage your operations but to help shape them as well. We not only actively support you to make sure that your wastewater treatment plants and networks are kept in good shape over a long period of time but also to modernise them. For example by retrofitting them with programmable logic controllers. At the end of the day, it’s all about you deciding which business cooperation model best suits your needs.

Municipal wastewater treatment with REMONDIS Aqua –
Three convincing technological arguments
Implementation
The whole programme from start to finish. We plan, build, refurbish, finance and operate water management infrastructure – from sewage treatment works and pumping stations to complete sewerage networks.
Monitoring
We are able to guarantee the highest levels of quality control by carrying out extensive measurements at short intervals that cover a whole host of parameters.
Recovery
Wherever possible, we aim to recover the raw materials contained in the wastewater. These include, for example, phosphorus, minerals, gypsum and salts, which in turn serve as flocculants.

Overcoming challenges together
And there’s a great deal coming. The Green Deal and the national and European climate action efforts related to this will, sooner or later, lead to sewage treatment plant operators having to cope with ever more stringent regulations. With our technical and analytical capabilities, we can support you in tackling the challenges ahead.
The challenge: recovering phosphorus
The statutory obligation to recover phosphorus is on its way in Germany. With TetraPhos®, we have developed a patented process for phosphorus recovery.

The challenge: the fourth treatment stage
Traces of pharmaceuticals are increasingly putting the environment at risk. Under the Municipal Wastewater Directive, new requirements are being imposed on wastewater treatment. We can assist with both the design and implementation.
Challenge: Emissions reduction at the sewage treatment plant
When operating sewage treatment works, reducing emissions and resource use are always key considerations. One example of this is generating electricity on-site using biogas.
