Based on its long-standing experience
and extensive know-how, and employ-

Bauer Water has committed itself to
safeguarding public access to fresh
water at the highest level. The portfo-

plants for emerging countries  to
cope with the new burdens they face




arising from extensive agricultural
use  and for disaster relief missions

Water offers custom solutions adapt-

heart of many treatment plants, featur-

plants are modular in design, and can
be supplied in a variety of size options.

the era of industrialization.
Over recent decades, however, a
range of processes have been devel-
oped to recover and re-use process
water. Many industrial plants now re-
cycle the water they need to run; the
"closed circuit" in relation to water is
state of the art. The wide variety of
processes employed in the various
industrial fields also means that differ-
ent types of waste water, with specific
pollutant contents, are produced. Usu-




ally this water has to be pre-treated
before being allowed to enter public
treatment plants, or it is definitively
treated before being routed into an
outfall. Ideally, process water can be
re-treated and returned to the produc-
tion operation. In some cases it is also
possible to extract raw materials from
the waste water, such as from fermen-
tation residues and production waste.
Decontamination of polluted water by
