Chemical wastewater treatment plants
We design, manufacture, supply, and operate equipment that effectively removes pollutants from industrial and municipal wastewater, meeting all European Union regulatory requirements.
Custom equipment
We design treatment plants tailored precisely to the wastewater composition and to the needs of the specific operation. We implement wastewater treatment plants for the automotive, chemical, foundry, and glass industries, as well as for car washes.
Removal of various pollutants
We supply equipment for treating wastewater by removing mechanical impurities, free and emulsified oil substances, detergents, heavy metals, and other hazardous chemicals.
Fully automated operation
The operation of the treatment plant is very easy and intuitive. The system can be switched to manual control at any time to perform necessary actions.
Maintenance for flawless operation
We provide service, maintenance, and quality control – we collect samples of treated wastewater and analyze them in our accredited laboratory.
Water management structure or container unit
We design chemical treatment plants either as permanent water management structures or as container units that can be transported between different sites as needed.

We choose the most suitable treatment technology
Chemical wastewater treatment plants use chemical reactions combined with physical processes to separate contaminants from wastewater. These include:
- Precipitation
- Coagulation and flocculation
- Filtration
- Oxidation
- Membrane technologies
- Sedimentation
- Adsorption
How it works
- We prepare a feasibility study – determining the appropriate technical solution and evaluating investment and operational costs.
- We conduct laboratory and pilot tests of the proposed technologies.
- We create the project and secure the necessary permits for implementation.
- We manufacture and deliver custom-made equipment.
- We train operators and provide monitoring during trial operations.
- Long-term operation follows, during which we handle equipment maintenance.
- By agreement, we can also operate the treatment plant.

FAQs
How does a chemical wastewater treatment plant work?
Chemical wastewater treatment plants remove pollutants from industrial and municipal wastewater through chemical processes. These plants treat water contaminated with toxic substances, heavy metals, oils, acids, alkalis, and other hazardous chemicals.
Chemical treatment plants use various processes, such as neutralization, precipitation and coagulation, oxidation, or reduction, to help convert hazardous substances into less harmful forms or completely remove them from the water.
The result is purified water that can either be reused or discharged into watercourses, and sludge that is subsequently dewatered and disposed of in accordance with current legislation.
What substances can a chemical wastewater treatment plant remove?
Chemical wastewater treatment plants are used to remove a wide range of hazardous and polluting substances. The most common include:
- Heavy metals – lead, mercury, cadmium, zinc, copper, chromium, and others, which can be toxic to the environment and human health.
- Acids and bases – chemical plants neutralize extreme pH values to make water safer.
- Oil and fats – oils, lubricants, and other substances from industrial operations or transportation.
- Organic solvents – acetone, toluene, benzene, and other chemicals common in industrial production.
- Inorganic compounds – such as nitrates, sulfates, phosphates, chlorides, and other salts that can compromise water quality.
- Toxic chemicals – pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals used in agriculture and industry.
- Emulsified substances – which are difficult to separate and require specialized separation methods.
- Dyes and pigments – used in industries such as textiles.
These substances are first identified and then chemically treated or removed through processes such as precipitation, oxidation, reduction, adsorption, and others.
What are the economic benefits of a chemical wastewater treatment plant?
In addition to the purified water that can be reused, the overall operation's economy benefits from a significant reduction in the amount of waste that needs to be transported for disposal.
