When less is more

Virtually all kinds of industrial activities and urban development result in sludge that is normally of little or no commercial value. Consequently, there is a large and costly disposal problem. Alfa Laval’s efficient solutions for reducing the volume of wastewater help to decrease disposal costs significantly.

We deal with all kinds of sludge, from simple natural sedimentation, secondary biological treatment or advanced chemical treatment.  

• Municipal waste. We are involved in the processing of sludge from the public sector from at least 200 million people.
• Industrial waste. Our solutions are used in more than 1,000 industrial applications.
• Water at water works. Our systems help produce nearly 400 million gallons of potable water every day.
• Biogas. We help to efficiently produce biogas from waste and energy crops.
• Manure treatment. Our solutions focus on making the return of manure to the soil part of a natural cycle.
