Activities Colubris Cleantech
Redox Water Technology is a member of the Colubris Cleantech group of companies and has been a global supplier of (waste)water treatment systems for more than 35 years. These installations are suitable for primary, secondary (biological) and tertiary waste water treatment, including water reuse systems.

Background
The capacity of the customer’s previous wastewater treatment system no longer met requirements. In order for the company to continue to comply with the discharge regulations, a state-of-the-art Redox Water Technology wastewater treatment system was installed.

Profitable Solutions

In collaboration with our partner UCY Mexico, Redox Water Technology designed and constructed a wastewater and sanitary water treatment system. Filters are installed to take the larger solids out and DAF units to separate large parts, fats and floating material from the wastewater. This process of followed by advanced biological treatment and tertiary treatment.
To achieve a lower energy consumption, the customer opted for in-depth aeration by means of efficient turbo compressors.
The various sludge flows are thickened on site in order to minimise transport costs.
The entire system is fully automated for optimal performance. The purification process can be monitored remotely in real-time via the Internet.

Highlights

Capacity 1200 m³/day.
The site where the water treatment system has been installed lies as much as 2.3 km above sea level.
At least 20 m³of water is reused every hour, which saves on factory’s overall water consumption.
Redox Water Technology designs treated wastewater to meet local and site specific requirement.
Let’s close the loop together.
