akvolution GmbH Information

STEFFEN HARTMANN RECYCLINGTECHNOLOGIEN GMBH is a water technology company that provides cost-effective and environment-friendly solutions since 1992 based on different products like evaporator systems, ion exchanger and the MicroGas™ fine bubble generator and akvoFloat™ – a proprietary flotation-filtration process based on novel ceramic membranes. Our technology or its combination was designed to clean hard-to-treat industrial wastewater containing high concentrations of oil (free, dispersed and emulsified) heavy metals, salt or other suspended solids. These solutions have been implemented in major water-using industries: Oil & gas, Refining & petrochemicals, Automotive & Metalworking, Steel & Aluminum surface treatment and landfill leachate treatment. In a world of increasingly stringent environmental regulations and increasing wastewater discharge and disposal costs, our goal is to enable industrial sites to minimize their water footprint while meeting their environmental requirements reliably – all with a positive ROI. akvoFloat™ was designed to accomplish this goal. About akvoFloat™: akvoFloat™ is a separation technology based on a proprietary flotation-filtration process. The process leverages the MicroGas™ Bubble Generator, novel flat sheet ceramic membranes and proprietary membrane cleaning strategies in order to offer the most reliable and energy-efficient design on the market for the total removal of suspended solids, fat, oil & grease from hard-to-treat waters. About MicroGas™: The MicroGas™ Bubble Generator is the most cost-efficient and robust flotation device to maximize the removal of suspended solids and Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG) regardless of pH, temperature or salinity. Originally designed as a minimal-equipment, low-OpEx alternative to DAF, the MicroGas™ Bubble Generator has many applications including water and wastewater treatment, chemical reactors and aquaculture.
