Sustainable water management and wastewater treatment
Industrial wastewater treatment
Most industrial processes generate waste streams that need to be treated. Alfa Laval offers a variety of solutions for on-site water and wastewater treatment plus recovery of water, heat and even products.
Municipal wastewater treatment
Alfa Laval helps plants reduce the environmental footprint from water and waste streams, by maximizing reuse of water, by turning waste to value and by minimizing energy consumption and waste.
Municipal water
Demand for fresh water is constantly on the increase. Alfa Laval water purification systems and equipment minimize environmental impact by reducing the amount of waste derived from water production.
Key products
