chemical waste water treatment units DAF

Innovation in Wastewater Technology:

In 1989, Afvalwatertechniek took its first steps into a challenging market: bulk storage and scrapyards. Projects with companies such as Maja, EP Shipping, Jewo Metaal, and the Gerrits Group became pioneering cases in which we laid the foundation for our phased approach to large-scale and complex water challenges. These sites face enormous volumes of rainwater and contamination every day. Our challenge was clear: how do you purify that water sustainably, future-proof, and cost-effectively?

Our solution lies in flexible systems that grow with the client. We design installations that operate efficiently today and can be easily adapted tomorrow when discharge regulations become stricter. In this way, companies avoid high upfront investments while saving on operating costs in the long run.

The innovation lies in the approach.
Where traditional techniques often resort immediately to chemical treatment, we take a different path: separation based on physical properties first. Only when absolutely necessary do we add chemicals. This significantly reduces sludge production, lowers environmental impact, and keeps the installation straightforward and robust.

Water reuse is the first step.
With every liter we can recover, we reduce pressure on the environment and water resources. Our technology is built on effectiveness and responsibility: as little chemistry as possible, as much reuse as possible, and always prepared for stricter requirements in the future.

The results?

Reduced sludge production and lower costs

Improved discharge performance

Flexible systems that adapt to legislation

A measurable reduction in environmental impact

For thirty-five years, Afvalwatertechniek has proven that innovation is not only about new technologies. With our approach, we set a new standard in water treatment—practical, affordable, and with maximum impact on both the environment and society.
