How can industrial companies future-proof their wastewater treatment at a time when water availability, discharge requirements and operational efficiency are becoming increasingly important? Van der Lee Seafish in Urk, The Netherlands, recently took a major step forward by installing a new DAF system from Colubris, including SmartDose, which enables the company to optimize chemical dosing , thereby reducing operational costs and reducing the company’s environmental footprint.

What if sewage sludge could form the basis for sustainable bioplastics? That is precisely the ambition behind PHA2USE, an innovative collaboration between Dutch water authorities, technology partners and industry aimed at creating new value from wastewater streams.

The collaboration between Grundfos and Colubris goes back decades. What once began with Alldos, which was acquired by Grundfos in 2006, has grown into a lasting relationship between two companies that connect well in the areas of water technology, quality and innovation.

For industrial companies, wastewater treatment is not merely a regulatory obligation; it is a prerequisite for continuity and profitability. Regulations are tightening, water is becoming scarcer, and operational costs are under increasing pressure. A well-designed wastewater strategy does more than protect the environment—it protects your bottom line.
