Investing in biological wastewater treatment offers high returns.

Since 1981, the biological treatment systems of pioneer Paques remove pollutants from effluent in a cost-efficient and sustainable way.

Today, Paques has made biological wastewater treatment a cost-effective solution for wastewater recycling, biogas production and purification, as well as resource recovery.

Pioneering biological treatment systems

Since 1981, biotech pioneer Paques has delivered cost-effective and highly reliable biological treatment systems to 3300+ customers in 61+ countries. As a result, Paques’ technologies for biological wastewater treatment are ecologically ánd economically sustainable, as they are designed to save on costs.

With world-renowned systems such as ANAMMOX®, Paques’ technologies help commercial industries and water service providers on the way to a circular economy by imitating nature. With our biological treatment systems, companies can reduce fresh water usage, recover precious resources, decrease carbon footprints and meet strict effluent requirements.

For example, 25.8 million kg of organic pollution is treated with over 1500 anaerobic BIOPAQ® installations of Paques worldwide. These biological treatments systems produce an amount of biogas equal to the natural gas requirements of 2.8 million households in the Netherlands – and additionally reduce 11.2 Mt CO2 per year.

Resource tomorrow

Biological wastewater treatment can be used to effectively treat and recycle wastewater, but also to recover useful elements like metal or phosphate, produce biogas, and/or desulfurize gas. Thus, biological wastewater treatment is key to sustainable success in a circular economy.

The multi-purpose biological treatment systems of Paques are ecologically ánd economically sustainable. Moreover, they are so effective in resource recovery, that they give companies an edge regarding resource management.

What is biological wastewater treatment?

Biological treatment systems make use of naturally occurring biochemical processes of microorganisms. By design, microorganisms eat and digest the pollutants that are dissolved in effluents

2 types of biological wastewater treatment

There are two types of biological treatment systems: aerobic (in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (in the absence of oxygen). Here’s Jung & Pauly’s general overview of advantages and disadvantages of these two forms of biological wastewater treatment.

Anaerobic treatment Dark blue arrow
Low amount of excess sludge
Low energy demand
Low required space
No fully biological degradation
Energy generation by use of biogas
COD > 1000 mg/L
Aerobic treatment Dark blue arrow
High amount of excess sludge
High energy demand
High required space
Fully biological degradations
