Pulp, Paper & Wood
Process Water Treatment for the Pulp, Paper and Wood Industry
Meet BAT requirements and reduce COD, particles and colour in process water and effluent, with membrane-free, almost chemical-free technology.
Challenges
Challenges in the pulp, paper and wood industry
Large water volumes and sector-specific BAT conclusions place high demands on water treatment. Typical challenges we help with:
High organic load (COD/BOD) and fibre residues in process water
Suspended solids (SS), colour and persistent organic substances
BAT-AEL levels in the BAT conclusions for the pulp and paper industry
The wish to reuse water and reduce freshwater consumption
Our solution
Electrocoagulation (EC) removes particles, colloids and organic matter. Electro-oxidation (EO) breaks down persistent organic compounds and colour, and activated carbon provides final polishing. The process is membrane-free and almost chemical-free, and capacity scales from 100 litres per hour upwards.
- 01
Analysis and testing
We map the water streams at your site and the BAT requirements that apply to you, and test treatment performance on your own water.
- 02
Tailored plant
We design a solution for compliant discharge and, where possible, reuse as technical water.
- 03
Delivery and follow-up
We deliver, commission and follow up the plant for stable operation and documented BAT performance.
Results from our tests
With electrocoagulation, we have measured the following reductions in different types of wastewater:
- Suspended solids
- up to98%
- COD
- up to79%
- Phosphorus
- up to99%
- Heavy metals
- up to98%
Up-to values. Results vary with water composition, so we always test on your own water before recommending a solution.
