DHV, Grontmij, Paques and TU Delft combine state-of-the-art technology for rejection water treatment
28 September 2006 by M&CRejection water is nitrogen-rich leftover water at water purification plants that is released during the dewatering of digested sludge. By treating this rejection water separately, the substantial investments needed for expanding and adapting water purification plants can be avoided. Such cost-savings are especially welcome for the larger plants that in (the near) future must adhere to strict environmental regulations. DHV, Grontmij, Paques and TU Delft have developed and implemented successful rejection water treatment methods in recent years: SHARON, Anammox and B.A.B.E. These methods are recognised worldwide and have also been implemented internationally.
On 21 September 2006, the four parties signed a declaration of intent for combining their knowledge and experience with these three unique technologies. The partnership bolsters the innovative capacities and strengths for operating in the Dutch and international water markets.
