Biofactories and resource
recovery

Solutions for transforming treatment plants into biofactories: efficient facilities for obtaining water, energy and materials.

Sustainable solutions for the treatment and recovery of wastewater.

Cetaqua is revolutionising the process of water treatment by implementing the circular economy, developing processes and technologies that turn treatment plants into biofactories.

We are striving to maximise the value of resources by promoting an energy-neutral model that contributes to zero waste and eliminates emerging pollutants, microplastics and other substances. We thus promote the recovery and reuse of resources during the production of reclaimed water, the treatment of urban and industrial wastewater, and other waste streams.

Priority lines of work

  • Effective and efficient treatments for wastewater and for the production of drinking and reclaimed water.
  • Treatments for emerging pollutants and microplastics.
  • Recovery of energy resources and materials from urban and industrial waste flows.
