Investing in the future of sustainable filter media

The wastewater treatment sector is under continuing pressure from sustainability and NetZero targets including ever tightening discharge consent, pressure to reduce power consumption and chemical usage, and the need for increased nutrient removal to protect receiving bodies of water. It is of critical importance that the industry invests in innovating and integrating, sustainable and efficient wastewater treatment processes to protect the environment and reduce resource consumption.

We continue to invest considerably in R&D and have research partnerships with two of the UK’s leading academic centres of excellence, Cranfield Water Sciences Institute (CWSI) and Warwick University, working collaboratively to create the next generation of wastewater treatment filter media solutions.

Our commitment to research and development is helping us build a formidable reputation in the sector and helping the European wastewater industry reduce its energy consumption to meet environmental targets and reduce costs.
