Industrial process water treatment
Efficient industrial process water treatment is no longer just a regulatory requirement; it is a critical component of operational excellence and resource recovery. At Sulzer, we specialize in advanced process water management processes designed to handle the most challenging effluent streams. By integrating our proprietary OptimEXT™ liquid-liquid extraction and PEMFlux™-W stripping technology, we ensure environmental compliance while reducing your energy footprint and protecting your downstream assets.
Whether you are upgrading an existing facility or engineering a new industrial wastewater treatment plant, we provide the reliable technology and process expertise needed to turn complex wastewater challenges into sustainable, cost-effective operations.

Industrial process water challenges
在当今的化工行业运营意味着要应对多个相互关联的挑战：
Operational pretreatment with OptimEXT™
Toxic organic compounds and dissolved acids in industrial streams often inhibit biological processes, leading to plant failure. We utilize OptimEXT™ liquid-liquid extraction to selectively remove these inhibitors before they reach the secondary stage. This targeted pretreatment protects your biomass while enabling the high-purity recovery of valuable chemicals for circular reuse.
Operational reliability with PEMFlux™
Complex solvents and light-boiling volatile organic compounds in wastewater are strictly regulated and notoriously challenging for biological wastewater treatment systems. Our PEMFlux™ stripping technology provides a robust barrier that removes these contaminants with high efficiency. The result is a consistent water discharge stream that reduces VOC load, supports operational reliability, and meets strict environmental regulatory requirements.
Enhancing biodegradability
High concentrations of non-biodegradable chemicals can cripple the efficiency of a facility’s biological treatment stage. Integrating OptimEXT™ extraction into the process flow significantly improves the biodegradability of the effluent, ensuring your secondary treatment operates at peak performance.
Environmentally friendly
Managing complex industrial effluent is often viewed as a cost burden rather than an opportunity for resource recovery. Our integrated solutions combine OptimEXT™ and PEMFlux™ to transform waste streams into value streams. We help you close the loop by recovering solvents and chemicals at commercial-grade purity while producing treated water suitable for internal recycling.
Successful operations require more than just equipment; they require a comprehensive process water management system. Sulzer supports a variety of industries by providing integrated solutions that guarantee performance. Our systems approach ensures that every component is designed to handle stream variations and provide the flexibility needed in your operation. This holistic management reduces downtime, extends equipment life, and guarantees that your facility stays within compliance limits 24/7.
