20 October 2017Elimination of micropollutants: WABAG, the technology leader, supplies the Basel WWTP with an additional treatment stage.
ProRheno AG has awarded to WABAG Water Technology Ltd. in Winterthur the expansion of the Basel wastewater treatment plant by means of an additional treatment stage for micropollutant removal. This contract was awarded in May 2016. The operator of one of the country’s largest WWTP’s has thus reacted quickly to Switzerland’s new water conservation legislation, which defines the elimination rates for organic trace substances. WABAG has established itself as an expert for these special requirements and will apply to the Basel plant a combined process using ozonation followed by PAC dosing and tertiary deep bed filtration (BIOZONE® – PACOPUR®). The start-up of this EUR 7.5 million contract is scheduled in 2021.
