High-rate industrial wastewater treatment Read more Transparant block

Plant managers can revitalize their resources and reduce fresh water usage with our high-rate industrial wastewater treatment systems that purify wastewater, reclaim useful material, produce biogas, and desulfurize gas. By imitating nature's biological processes, Paques helps them decrease their footprint and contribute to a circular economy in a cost-effective manner. In this way, they’re able to balance People, Profit and Planet for sustainable success.

Global challenges such as water scarcity, water pollution, global warming and natural resource depletion deeply impact industrial processes, as they result in higher costs, stricter regulations and increased societal attention to sustainability.

As water, bioenergy, nutrients and base metals can all be sourced from wastewater, industrial wastewater treatment provides a smart resource management solution.

That's why sustainable industrial wastewater treatment, water reuse, reclamation of valuable resources and bioenergy production are quickly becoming imperative for commercial industries and public water management.

Since 1981, Paques has delivered cost-effective and highly reliable wastewater treatment systems to 1800 customers in more than 60 countries. These bioreactors and modular treatment systems filter, polish or purify industrial wastewater, sewage, process water, reject water or effluent with biotechnological processes.

With offices and production facilities in the Netherlands, China, Brazil, United States of America and India; dedicated R&D centers in the Netherlands and China; ánd a network of professional partners worldwide, Paques leads the international market for water and gas treatment.

The combination of 60+ years of experience, our technical knowhow, innovative research, decisiveness and multidisciplinary approach guarantees an accelerated implementation of biological water and gas treatment systems in your company.

I.a. according to Sciencing.com , here are the advantages of biological industrial wastewater treatment compared to chemical industrial effluent treatment:

It's important to note that the choice for a specific industrial water treatment system should be based on the specific contaminants present in the wastewater, regulatory requirements, space limitations of the industrial treatment plant and operational considerations. With 18 different industrial wastewater treatment systems in our product range, our experts know exactly which systems fit your situation best.

For your benefit, Paques also offers pilot installations, rental installations, lab tests and analyses, operational support and advice and consultancy to adapt or improve the product or treatment process for immediate operational savings or for well-founded investment plans.

Anaerobic processes mimic nature’s chemistry in a controlled environment to transform organic waste into biogas and clean water. In these systems, complex compounds like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are broken down step by step by specialized bacteria, releasing energy-rich biogas.

Unlike in nature, where such reactions can deplete oxygen and harm ecosystems, our reactors carefully regulate pH, temperature, and flow to maintain ideal conditions for these delicate biochemical pathways. This precise control prevents uncontrolled reactions, enabling industries to turn wastewater into a valuable biosource while protecting the environment.

By managing nature’s complexity within engineered systems, Paques delivers sustainable solutions that close the loop between waste and resource.
