Wastewater - Sustainable Solutions for Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater from industrial production is contaminated with various substances and as a result, effective wastewater treatment to the required limit values requires specialist knowledge. At the same time, wastewater treatment plants should be energy-efficient and conserve resources.
EnviroChemie has more than 40 years of experience in the field of industrial wastewater treatment in a wide range of industries. We are the leader in decentralised industrial wastewater treatment in Germany and other European countries.
As a first step we consult with customers, then plan and operate the wastewater treatment plants. According to requirements, we implement our physico-chemical, biological or membrane processes or combinations thereof, to achieve the required cleaning performance.
Depending on the production process and wastewater composition, operating costs can be reduced significantly through the use of sophisticated heat recovery concepts, or through the production of biogas.
In our own research & development department, we develop new plants or further develop existing plants, within the framework of customer orders, research cooperation or the development of our own plants.
Our comprehensive service offering covers the complete operating life of the wastewater treatment plants. We maintain the plants, supply the water treatment chemicals and spare parts, optimise the processes and ensure smooth operation.
Process Water - We Provide the Required Water Qualities in the Production Process.
Water is used for a wide variety of purposes in industrial production. Water has to be treated, so that sufficient amounts are available in the quality required for production. Process water must generally be re-treated after it has been used, so that it can either be discharged according to regulations or returned to the water cycle.
EnviroChemie develops, builds, and installs treatment plants for process water, which are tailored to the respective task, economical and environmentally friendly. Typical plant solutions are used for water treatment, wastewater pre-treatment, water recycling, or for resource recycling.
We use state-of-the-art plant technology with physico-chemical, biological, or membrane processes, which we customise exactly to the respective specifications. It is frequently necessary to combine processes to achieve optimum results in process water treatment.
Our product portfolio for the treatment of process water ranges from standardised small plants up to customised large scale plants.
Recycling - We Recycle Water and Resources
Water is one of the most important raw materials for industrial production. For this reason, processes are now used in water treatment that not only produce the required water quality, but also allow for recycling. The treated water can either be fed back into the process, or reused for other purposes. Water recycling plants lead to a significant reduction in operational costs for production.
It is also possible to recycle resources that are important for production, using our processes for physico-chemical and membrane water treatment. We would be pleased to demonstrate the possibilities to you during a consultation.
In our own research & development department, we develop new plants or further develop existing plants, within the framework of customer orders, research cooperation or the development of our own plants.
As a first step we consult, then plan and build the recycling plants. Our comprehensive service offering covers the complete operating life of the recycling plants. We maintain the plants, supply the water treatment chemicals and spare parts, optimise the processes and ensure smooth operation.

Research in new technologies and further development of plants
The legal requirements for wastewater discharge change, and so do the needs of customers in industry and commerce in relation to the water qualities used in production. For example, companies are increasingly looking for ways to recycle or reuse water. As a result, there is growing demand for technologies that are energy-efficient and conserve resources. What is more, global challenges, such as limited water reserves and climate change, demand new technologies for the future.
Our research and development department possesses a high level of problem-solving skills, which is the result of the interdisciplinary composition of the team. Biologists, chemists, process engineers and environmental engineers with many years of experience in water technologies work together in research projects with leading universities and research institutes.
New Products
We are continuously developing our product ranges even further. To do this, we improve the efficiency of the processes or adapt the processes to new tasks, for example tasks which we are set by our customers or which arise through statutory regulations.
Here, the focus is constantly on diverse anaerobic technology applications as well as various bio-film processes, for example using Biomar® biological treatment processes.
In the field of Envochem® chemical-physical treatment processes, we are constantly working on the formulations of our water treatment products. Important topics here are the improvement of efficiency, the environmental impact and the development of formulations for new applications.
All of our product ranges are continuously evaluated according to many different criteria, for example to improve flow conditions or the behaviour of membranes. Here we attach particular importance to cost-effectiveness, but also take account of energy and cleaning efficiency or process stability, as well as the robustness of the processes, for example.
Dissolved-air flotation optimised for water circulation systems
The injector system for dissolved-air plants, which has been newly developed by EnviroChemie, makes it possible to save operating costs because it is no longer mandatory for the cleaning results and the operation of the flotation plant to condition the water with chemicals.
The company has received German utility model protection for its specific dissolved-air flotation system from the Flomar® series. This modified version is, for example, suited to depleting the solids from highly polluted exhaust air purification wash cycles from washing towers or electrostatic precipitators. The task here is to reduce the pollutants from the cycles without substantial usage of salt and to thereby keep costs down. Complete clarification of the wastewater is not necessary.
Traditional dissolved-air flotation systems produce the flotation motive water through air saturation of a partial flow in the plant outflow. The saturation usually takes place using multi-stage pumps, which only run smoothly if they are fed with pH-neutral wastewater that is mostly free from solids.
The injector system developed by EnviroChemie achieves micro-bubble formation comparable to saturation by pumps. The air saturation of the partial flow is carried out by an injector pressure container, which is fed by a wastewater pump resistant to solids. A multi-stage pump is then no longer required for the operation of the flotation. Both alkaline and acidic wastewater can be treated easily with the new system. As a result, cycles can be treated with the flotation plants without chemical conditioning or neutralisation. The flocculant dosage is only required to produce separable flocs. If floatable solids are also present without flocculation, a chemical-free procedure is possible.
We are continuously developing our processes for industrial water treatment
Using our own process technology laboratory with attached technology centre, we continuously develop our processes for water treatment, water recycling and wastewater treatment.
We develop new plants or further develop existing plants, within the framework of customer orders or the development of our own plants.
In our water chemistry lab, we test the efficiency of new high-performance chemicals in various fields of application. On behalf of our customers, we determine the optimum composition of water treatment chemicals for their treatment processes, then mix them according to recipe and supply the goods.
New Patent
EnviroChemie Awarded Patent to Process for Extraction of Aluminium from Suds
Working within the scope of the research strategy “Reclamation and Recycling of Reusable Materials from Industrial Production Cycles and Wastewater”, the EnviroChemie researchers have developed a process for the extraction of aluminium from suds. The primary objective of the research project was to find an economic process which could be used to extract aluminium in different concentrations from strongly alkaline suds and to enable re-use of the suds.
The addition of aluminium to the strongly alkaline suds reduces the service life of the suds and they become unusable over the course of time. The newly developed processed is based on converting the aluminium into a solid form (so-called zeolite precipitation) by adding soluble glass (alkali silicates) to the suds. The precipitates are separated from the suds by means of membrane filtration system with a cross-flow method. The recycling of the suds can function as a continuous process so that the operation of the operation bath does not have to be interrupted.
As Dr Engelhart, Head of Research and Development at EnviroChemie, reports, the process has already proved to be successful for the processing of suds used for cleaning bottles in the beverage industry.
New plant solutions
Reduce operating costs for wastewater treatment by using Biomar Ecomizer technology
Biogas, which consists mainly of methane and carbon dioxide, is generated during the anaerobic treatment of wastewater. A part of the carbon dioxide which is created dissolves into the wastewater in the anaerobic reactor, and the carbonic acid this creates leads to a fall in the pH value. As an alternative to using chemicals for the neutralisation required, EnviroChemie successfully installs its Biomar Ecomizer technology. The operating costs of the anaerobic system are significantly reduced. Payback periods of just a few years can be demonstrated for this process, due to the savings on caustic soda.
We have already installed Biomar Ecomizer technology in a number of wastewater treatment plants for Baltika, one of the largest brewery groups in Russia. Tests at a large wine making cooperative in Germany have shown that the installation of the technology can also be of benefit there.
Electroflotation E-Flo-Dr. Baer expands the range of processes on offer
We have incorporated electroflotation technology into our range of plants, using the product name E-Flo-Dr. Baer. With over 40 years of experience in this specialised technology, Dr. Baer Verfahrenstechnik provides a mature process. The technology has been integrated into the system series of EnviroChemie products for water treatment, water recycling, and wastewater treatment, giving access to models that have proven themselves hundreds of times, in the field of measurement and control technology as well as pumps and drive technology.
This specialised electroflotation product complements the well-established Flomar® series of dissolved-air flotations. While investment costs are always higher compared to dissolved-air flotation, it can be used without any restrictions for water temperatures in excess of 80° C, and barely creates any foam. The precise separation of the flotate ensures a high degree of cleansing, eliminating the need for further filter stages. This makes E-Flo-Dr. Baer electroflotation especially suitable for the cleaning and treatment of water circulation systems.
