  • What are BESIX environment & luxtp doing in Luxembourg?
  • In the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, BESIX Environment and LuxTP are currently modernising the electromechanical installations of the Mamer wastewater treatment plant. By implementing modern technologies, the plant’s capacity and eficiency are significantly improved.
  • How does industrial waste water affect a wastewater treatment plant?
  • Integrity and operational issues: Industrial waste water can hamper the integrity of the collection system by reducing its lifespan (e.g. by corrosion, acids and alkalis) and by causing clogging of the sewer pipes. Industrial waste water can also impact the mechanical elements of the treatment plant.
  • How is industrial wastewater treated?
  • Most industrial wastewater requires processing, either in urban wastewater treatment plants (only applicable for wastewater types similar to municipal wastewater) or on-site treatment plants that are tailor-made for the respective industry (especially industry fields involving metals and or chemicals).
  • Can a downstream waste water treatment plant set a laxer emission limit?
  • In recognition of the prevalence of off-site waste water treatment, Article 15(1) of the IED allows competent authorities to take account of a downstream waste water treatment plant when setting limit values for an installation i.e. setting laxer emission limits than for direct releases, as long as specified safeguards are met (3).
