Water plays a central role in chemical production processes, serving as a cooling medium, cleaning fluid and active component in numerous process steps. These applications generate wastewater streams with widely varying contaminant profiles that require targeted pretreatment before subsequent process stages.
Chemical industry wastewater treatment therefore requires a high level of process engineering precision and controlled handling of complex wastewater streams. At OKO-tech, we develop application-specific treatment systems designed to effectively treat even challenging industrial wastewater.
Products for this industry
Physico-Chemical Wastewater Treatment for Effective Pretreatment
Before wastewater can be further treated in biological treatment plants, interfering and contaminating substances may need to be removed. OKO-tech uses physico-chemical treatment systems to neutralise acidic and alkaline wastewater, precipitate heavy metals and separate problematic contaminants.
This pretreatment helps protect downstream biological treatment stages and supports stable operation of the overall treatment process. At the same time, the targeted selection of treatment processes can help reduce chemical and resource consumption.
Tailored Solutions for Chemical Industry Wastewater Treatment
The chemical industry generates wastewater containing a wide range of contaminants, including fats, oils, emulsions as well as inorganic and organic substances. These wastewater streams require treatment concepts based on their specific composition and process conditions.
OKO-tech develops industrial wastewater treatment systems that can be integrated into existing process chains. Depending on the wastewater characteristics and treatment targets, solutions can include heavy metal precipitation in batch or continuous-flow operation, flotation for the separation of oils and fats, and emulsion breaking systems for complex wastewater streams.
Evaporators can also be used to treat wastewater containing non-volatile or difficult-to-biodegrade substances. By combining different treatment processes according to the specific application, OKO-tech develops treatment concepts for industrial wastewater with complex contaminant profiles.
