WATEN Specialist Technical Capabilities
WATEN helps clients evaluate technically realistic opportunities for reclaimed water, energy recovery, co-digestion, biosolids and nutrient recovery - matched to infrastructure, operations, product requirements and project economics.
We apply our process engineering capabilities across municipal, industrial and resource-recovery projects, from conventional treatment and plant upgrades to advanced water reuse and reclamation systems.
We identify and develop practical opportunities to recover water, energy and resources from water, wastewater, sludge and other residual streams, within real infrastructure and operational constraints.
From Wastewater Treatment to Circular Economy Opportunities


How We Work
We adapt our process engineering support to the client’s needs, from focused technical advice and troubleshooting to design support, implementation assistance, and ongoing specialist input.
