Industry-Specific Water & Wastewater Treatment Solutions
Every industry has unique water quality requirements, flow profiles, and discharge regulations. CM Aquatechnik engineers treatment systems specifically configured for your sector — from pharmaceutical ultra-pure water to heavy industrial effluent.
Municipal Water Treatment Plants & Drinking Water Systems
The Challenge
Municipalities face the challenge of delivering safe, consistent drinking water to populations from variable surface and groundwater sources, while managing wastewater to comply with EU discharge limits.
Our Solution
We supply and engineer complete drinking water treatment plants combining intake screens, multimedia filtration, ultrafiltration or RO membranes, UV disinfection, and chemical dosing. For wastewater, we design and supply MBR, SBR, and conventional activated sludge systems with sludge dewatering and biogas recovery.
Key Benefits
- WHO and EU Drinking Water Directive compliance
- Modular capacity expansion
- Low-maintenance automated operation
- Remote monitoring via SCADA

Water & Wastewater Treatment for Food and Beverage Industry
The Challenge
Food and beverage plants require high-purity process water and face high-strength organic wastewater with elevated BOD, COD, fats, oils, and greases — all needing treatment before discharge.
Our Solution
We supply CIP-compatible process water systems using softeners, RO, and UV sterilisation for production water. For effluent, we design DAF primary treatment followed by MBR or MBBR biological systems, delivering treated water for irrigation reuse or compliant discharge.
Key Benefits
- Meets food-grade and CIP water quality standards
- High-rate DAF handles fat and grease loads
- Water reuse potential reduces fresh water costs
- Compliant with local discharge limits

Industrial Water Treatment for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants
The Challenge
Chemical plants produce effluent containing solvents, heavy metals, emulsified oils, and toxic compounds requiring multi-stage treatment before discharge. Process water must be ultra-pure to protect catalysts and equipment.
Our Solution
We engineer multi-barrier treatment systems combining DAF, coagulation/flocculation, activated carbon adsorption, membrane bioreactors, and advanced oxidation. For process water, we supply high-purity RO and EDI (electrodeionisation) systems.
Key Benefits
- Handles complex, variable effluent chemistry
- Achieves zero or near-zero liquid discharge
- Protects downstream waterways and regulatory compliance
- High-purity water for catalyst protection

Pharmaceutical Water Treatment Systems — Purified Water & WFI
The Challenge
Pharmaceutical manufacturing requires purified water (PW), water for injection (WFI), and clean steam to USP/EP standards. All systems must be GMP-compliant, fully validated, and documented.
Our Solution
We supply validated multi-pass RO systems, electrodeionisation (EDI), TOC monitoring, UV sterilisation, and stainless steel distribution loops to USP and European Pharmacopoeia standards. Systems include IQ/OQ validation documentation packages.
Key Benefits
- USP and EP Purified Water compliance
- GMP-ready with full IQ/OQ documentation
- TOC, conductivity, and endotoxin monitoring
- SS316L electro-polished surfaces

Boiler Feed Water & Cooling Water Treatment for Power Plants
The Challenge
Thermal and combined-cycle power plants require ultra-pure boiler feed water to prevent scaling and corrosion in high-pressure boilers, and conditioning of large cooling water volumes to minimise scale, biofouling, and corrosion.
Our Solution
We supply demineralisation systems (RO + mixed bed resin), condensate polishers, and complete cooling water treatment programmes including filtration, softening, inhibitor dosing, and online monitoring. Blow-down water recovery systems reduce water consumption.
Key Benefits
- Prevents boiler scaling and corrosion
- Reduces cooling tower make-up water consumption
- Blow-down recovery and reuse
- Continuous online water quality monitoring

Textile Wastewater Treatment — Colour Removal & Water Reuse
The Challenge
Textile and leather effluent contains persistent dyes, surfactants, heavy metals, and high COD/BOD loads that are difficult to treat with conventional biological systems. Colour is particularly challenging to remove for discharge compliance.
Our Solution
We design multi-stage treatment combining advanced oxidation (Fenton, ozone), coagulation/flocculation, DAF, biological treatment (MBR/MBBR), and final membrane polishing. Treated water quality enables direct reuse in the dye house, reducing fresh water consumption by 60–80%.
Key Benefits
- Meets stringent colour and COD discharge limits
- Water reuse reduces operating costs significantly
- Handles shock loads and seasonal flow variations
- Compact footprint for space-constrained sites

Hotel Water Treatment — Drinking Water, Pool & Wastewater Recycling
The Challenge
Hotels and resorts in water-scarce regions need safe, softened water for guests and operations, and must treat graywater and sewage for reuse in irrigation or toilet flushing to reduce utility costs.
Our Solution
We supply complete hotel water treatment packages: raw water purification (RO or UF), water softening for laundry and boilers, pool water treatment, compact MBR sewage treatment for water recycling, and rainwater harvesting systems.
Key Benefits
- Safe drinking water independent of municipal supply
- Softened water extends equipment life
- MBR recycling reduces water bills by up to 70%
- Compact systems for space-constrained installations
Equipment We Supply for This Sector
Produced Water Treatment & Water Injection for Oil & Gas
The Challenge
Oil and gas operations generate large volumes of produced water and drilling fluids requiring treatment before discharge or reinjection. Process water must meet very specific chemistry for water flooding and reservoir injection.
Our Solution
We supply compact, skid-mounted produced water treatment systems including hydrocyclones, walnut shell filters, DAF units, UF membranes, and sulphate removal nanofiltration. Systems designed for offshore, onshore, and remote field deployment.
Key Benefits
- Discharge to sea meets MARPOL and local limits
- Compact skid-mounted for offshore installation
- Injection water chemistry precisely controlled
- Remote SCADA monitoring reduces operator requirement
