Different industries produce wastewater with very different characteristics. A distillery’s spent wash has extremely high COD and is well suited to anaerobic treatment with biogas recovery. A pharmaceutical plant’s effluent may contain solvents and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) residues requiring specialized handling. A textile or chemical plant’s wastewater may carry heavy metals or complex organic compounds.

Below is an overview of the industry grades we regularly work with, and the kinds of treatment challenges each typically presents.
