Advanced nutrient management for evolving regulations

Stricter nutrient discharge limits, ageing infrastructure, and rising operational costs are changing how wastewater treatment plants manage resources and achieve regulatory compliance. With the EU’s updated Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) introducing significantly tighter requirements for nitrogen and phosphorus removal, municipalities are under growing pressure to improve performance while optimising existing systems.

Achieving total phosphorus reduction targets of up to 90% requires significant improvements in biological and/or chemical treatment processes. At the same time, enhanced nitrogen removal, closely linked to mixing and aeration, adds further pressure on utilities to improve efficiency while operating with limited resources. 

We help municipalities: 

• Meet stringent nutrient effluent limits with confidence
• Lower operating costs by reducing energy demand and chemical usage
• Increase treatment capacity through scalable systems that integrate within existing infrastructure
• Recover valuable nutrients to support a future circular economy and long-term sustainability goals

We understand the importance of maintaining reliable water quality and quantity and help communities and industries meet evolving treatment requirements—today and into the future.
