Effluentech
Effluentech is a field that encompasses technologies and approaches aimed at treating, managing, and valorizing effluents—liquid wastes discharged from municipal, industrial, and agricultural sources. The term is used to describe systems designed to reduce pollutants, recover resources, and enable safe release or reuse of treated water. Effluentech covers conventional wastewater treatment as well as advanced treatment methods required for increasingly stringent environmental standards and for water reuse.
Core components include physical treatment (screening, sedimentation), chemical methods (precipitation, coagulation, disinfection), and biological processes (aerobic
Applications span municipal wastewater facilities, industrial effluent treatment, mining and power sectors, and agricultural runoff management.
Challenges include high upfront capital and operating costs, energy use, handling of sludge, and the need to
