INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
The Effluent Treatment Plant is a system designed to treat industrial effluent or sanitary sewage, removing impurities and polluting substances before disposal or reuse. Essential for compliance with environmental regulations and operational sustainability, the ETE allows industries to reduce environmental impacts, meet legal requirements and optimize the use of water resources.
At GIGWATER, we develop customized industrial WWTP projects that take into account the type of effluent generated, the production process and the space available, guaranteeing efficiency, compliance and low operating costs. Our portfolio ranges from compact wastewater treatment plants to complete systems for large industrial plants.
HOW AN EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT WORKS
The effluent treatment system is made up of a sequence of physical, chemical and biological processes that vary according to the type of effluent and the level of treatment required. The main stages of sewage and effluent treatment include:
1. PRELIMINARY TREATMENT
Removal of coarse solids, oils and grease by means of grids, sieves and separator boxes, avoiding obstructions and protecting the next stages of the process.
2. PRIMARY
TREATMENT
It decants and separates settleable and floating solids, reducing the load of impurities and preparing the effluent for subsequent biological treatment.
3. SECONDARY TREATMENT
Application of biological processes, such as activated sludge, anaerobic reactors or batch systems, which use micro-organisms to degrade organic matter.
4. TERTIARY
TREATMENT
It decants and separates settleable and floating solids, reducing the load of impurities and preparing the effluent for subsequent biological treatment.
5. DEWATERING
OF SLUDGE
Sludge from treatment is thickened and dewatered using centrifuges, filter presses or drying beds, allowing it to be disposed of.
Each project is developed by GIGWATER's technical team based on laboratory studies and hydrodynamic simulations, ensuring performance, efficiency and compliance with current environmental standards.

WHY INVEST IN AN INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
Investing in an industrial effluent treatment plant is more than a legal requirement: it's a strategic decision. A well-designed effluent treatment plant guarantees:
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
REDUCING THE RISK OF FINES AND PENALTIES
STRENGTHENING THE CORPORATE IMAGE
REDUCTION IN OPERATING COSTS
MARKETS THAT STAND OUT IN THE USE OF ETE
CHEMICAL AND PETROCHEMICAL
They reduce toxic compounds and heavy metals, ensuring environmental safety.
FOOD AND
DAIRY
They treat effluent with a high organic load, enabling water reuse and disposal in compliance with regulations.
TEXTILES AND COSMETICS
They remove dyes, oils, and solvents, contributing to more sustainable processes.
AUTOMOTIVE AND METALLURGICAL
They treat oily and metal-containing effluents, enabling the efficient reuse of water.
MINING AND CIVIL CONSTRUCTION
They filter out solids and impurities, facilitating their reuse in industrial processes.
AGRIBUSINESS
CROPS
They reduce organic load and nutrients, promoting the sustainable use of treated water.
