Water & Wastewater Technology
.Ist das alles die gleiche seite?
Water and wastewater technology covers the equipment and systems that collect, treat, and discharge water across municipal and industrial processes. This category brings together suppliers of treatment plants, pumping stations, separators, and drainage infrastructure that keep water and wastewater flows within regulatory limits. Use the sub-categories below to narrow your search to a specific process step or equipment type before you review individual suppliers.
What this category covers
Water and wastewater technology spans the full chain from collection to treatment and discharge. Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants handle biological and mechanical treatment of sewage and process water. Pumping stations move water and wastewater between collection points, treatment stages, and discharge locations. Separators, for oil-water mixtures, fats and greases, or other industrial contaminants, remove specific pollutants before discharge or further treatment. Stormwater management and retention systems control surface runoff, while drainage systems and chambers handle underground collection and inspection infrastructure. Water treatment and disinfection covers potable and process water quality, and leachate and industrial treatment systems address specialised waste streams such as landfill leachate or process effluent. Suppliers listed here range from equipment manufacturers and system integrators to engineering firms and service providers.
How to shortlist Water & Wastewater Technology suppliers
When pre-selecting suppliers, focus on which part of the water cycle a supplier specialises in, treatment, transport, separation, or drainage, and which industries or municipalities they typically serve. Relevant regulatory frameworks include the EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for municipal wastewater and the EU Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) for potable water quality; small on-site wastewater treatment plants are commonly built to EN 12566. Quality and environmental management are typically certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Delivery reliability is consistently ranked by industrial buyers as the single most important factor when choosing a new supplier, so weight demonstrated project and supply capability heavily alongside technical fit.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a wastewater treatment plant and a pumping station?
A treatment plant removes contaminants from wastewater before discharge or reuse, while a pumping station moves water or wastewater between locations without treating it.
Which regulations apply to wastewater discharge in Europe?
Municipal wastewater treatment is governed by the EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC); potable water quality falls under the EU Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC). Specific discharge limits vary by country and local authority.
Do all these suppliers work on both municipal and industrial projects?
No, some specialise in municipal infrastructure, others in industrial process water; check the supplier profile for their typical project scope before shortlisting.
