Wastewater treatment

In surface technology, wastewater treatment plays a crucial role in minimizing environmental impact and promoting the sustainable use of resources. During the production process in surface technology, wastewater is often produced that may contain various impurities such as chemical residues, oils or metal particles.

Wastewater treatment in surface technology aims to efficiently remove these impurities in order to return the purified water to the natural water cycle or, in many cases, to make it reusable. Wastewater treatment processes typically include various stages such as physical, chemical and biological treatments.

Physical methods, such as sedimentation and filtration, are used to remove solid particles from wastewater. Chemical treatments can be used to precipitate or neutralize dissolved substances. Biological processes, such as activated sludge processes, use microorganisms to break down organic compounds.

In many cases, special systems and technologies are used that are tailored to the specific requirements of surface technology. This ensures effective removal of contaminants and compliance with legal environmental requirements.

The treatment of wastewater in surface technology not only contributes to compliance with environmental standards, but also enables the sustainable use of resources. By reusing purified water, water consumption can be reduced and the proper treatment of wastewater minimizes potential negative impacts on soil and water bodies. The development and application of efficient wastewater treatment technologies in surface technology are an integral part of an environmentally conscious and sustainable production approach in this industry.
