treatment
We at pro clima have implemented an efficient, eco-friendly process to purify wastewater from our production and laboratories with the overall aim of minimising environmental impact and costs too.
Significant quantities of water contaminated from industrial processing arise every week in our production and R&D processes. The laboratory wastewater is collected in an IBC container, while the process water from production is collected directly in each production batch. Every week, these two wastewater batches are mixed with one another.

Flocculation treatment
This mixed batch of wastewater is treated by adding flocculants while stirring. In this method, contaminants settle out in the form of flocs and rise to the surface. The water is then passed through a filter that removes up to 95% of the pollutants. The flocs are retained in the filter and disposed of as residual waste.
Quality assurance and external testing
Samples of the clear, filtered wastewater are taken at regular intervals and tested for COD (chemical oxygen demand) and TOC (total organic carbon). This analysis is time-consuming and requires special equipment, so it is carried out by independent laboratories in accordance with local regulations.

Long-term benefits and cost savings
With our in-house flocculation process and water treatment, we save on disposal costs for external service providers and treat all of our process wastewater in an efficient manner. Our treated wastewater is significantly less contaminated than typical domestic wastewater.
Advantages of in-house wastewater treatment
- Cost savings: lower waste disposal costs
- Sustainability: lower consumption of chemicals, less waste
- Assuming responsibility: we have full control over the treatment of our industrial wastewater
With this green and resource-saving approach, we have a positive impact on the sustainability of our company. We are continuously working on further reducing out environmental footprint.
