With this agreement, we aim to make a significant step towards optimisation of the sludge line as well. I am very pleased that GEA has decided to become a preferred supplier. Their willingness and drive to invest in R&D to optimise their equipment for our Nereda technology will make a difference for many of our clients world-wide.”
About Nereda
Nereda is a successful Dutch sustainable wastewater treatment technology for which there is considerable international demand. Nereda treats wastewater with bacteria (aerobic granular biomass) that quickly sink. The plants are cheaper than traditional plants and up to four times smaller. Moreover, they consume up to half the energy and hardly any chemicals are required. The technology was developed by Delft University of Technology and Royal HaskoningDHV in cooperation with the Dutch Foundation for Applied Water Research (STOWA) and several Dutch water authorities.
