Krüger WABAG is a leading engineering company and full-service partner with extensive experince in the planning and construction of water tratment, wastewater purification and water recycling plants, both for local authorities and industrial companies. The targeted use of special process technology allows made-to-measure and extremely economical water treatment and preparation solutions, facilitating both the protection of resources and low-maintenance, efficient water management. There is a broad spectrum of applications for Krüger WABAG plants, including drinking water processing, industrial and process water treatment, and wastewater purification. But Krüger WABAG has also delevoped special systems.

The so far largest Uranex plant for removing uranium and one of the largest Carix plants for partial desalination have been inaugurated in Windesheim, Rhineland Palatinate. The geologically-related uranium content of the water is now reduced with the aid of these two ion exchange processes, realised by Krüger WABAG, from an average 14 μg/l to less than 0.1 μg/l.

The Berlin Waterworks presented at the Ruhleben sewage treatment plant in Berlin a comprehensive project to improve the water quality. Under the project name'Oxeram', various state-of-the-art process combinations for treating wastewater are being tested. Three of the tested process technologies come from Krüger WABAG, Berkefeld and Hydrotech, all subsidiaries of Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies. These are an ultrafiltration plant with polymer membranes, a microfiltration plant with a ceramic membrane and a micro-sieve. The options are being examined according to effectiveness, investment and operating costs over the entire life cycle and carbon footprint. [more information]

CARIX, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis by comparison

Krüger WABAG started in 2009 to systematically assess their processes in water and waste water treatment by the emissions of greenhouse gases throughout the entire life cycle. At the Wasser Berlin 2011, the carbon footprints of different processes for softening of drinking water were compared for the first time ever: the CARIX ion-exchange process, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis.
