Solutions for municipal and industrial wastewater.

Each sector has its own dynamics. The project, however, always starts from the real characteristics of the wastewater, their variability and the objective to be achieved.

From wastewater to process, not from catalogue to plant

Industrial sectors

Expertise built across different production processes and wastewater types.

Understanding the production process helps characterise the wastewater, anticipate variability and define a consistent treatment line.

Let's talk about your sector.

Does your wastewater require a dedicated assessment?

Share available analysis, flow rates, variability and final goal. Sereco technicians can frame the problem and the possible treatment phases.

Digestate and landfill leachate

Two streams that require specific characterization.

Biogas digestate

The liquid fraction of digestate may require biological treatment, membrane separation and further polishing, depending on its characteristics and discharge objective. Sereco has also completed a specific plant documented in a case study.

Landfill leachate

Leachate changes over time with waste composition and environmental conditions. Treatment design requires analysis of organic load, ammonia, salts and metals and a configuration suited to wastewater variability.
