Analytical laboratories
Analytical laboratories monitor the quality of water and sludge at every stage of the treatment plant process.
In the analytical laboratories of wastewater treatment plants, the quality of water and sludge is regularly monitored, in addition to various real-time monitoring systems.
Laboratory analyses record chemical, biological and physical parameters such as organic matter content, sludge composition and nutrient concentrations. Micropollutants and microbiological contamination can also be determined. The results are used to monitor treatment processes, adjust them if necessary and comply with legal requirements. Laboratories thus make a decisive contribution to the efficiency and safety of wastewater treatment.

Pipes
Sewers carry away wastewater. This includes wastewater from households and businesses, as well as rainwater from impermeable surfaces. In a combined system, both are transported to the treatment plant, while…
Combined Sewer Overflows
In the event of heavy rainfall, the discharge structures of the combined sewer system discharge excess, highly diluted wastewater in a controlled manner into the watercourse in order to relieve…
Pumping stations
Pumping stations lift wastewater to higher levels so that it can continue to flow, even in flat or difficult terrain.
Retention basins
The rainwater retention basins of the separate system temporarily store excess rainwater and regulate the flow to the watercourse or rainwater network.
Wastewater treatment plants
Wastewater treatment plants treat wastewater using mechanical, biological and chemical processes before discharging it into a watercourse.
Sludge treatment
During sludge treatment, the sewage sludge produced is stabilised, dewatered and recycled.
Quaternary treatment
The fourth treatment stage further refines the water and removes micro-pollutants, germs and other harmful substances.
