About AQUATO®
AQUATO® Umwelttechnologien GmbH, based in Herford, Westphalia, is a medium-sized company for small wastewater treatment plants and wastewater treatment systems. The portfolio includes fully biological plants using the SBR process (PUMP, KOM), the patented SSB® process (ORKA up to 3,000 PE), the moving-bed biofilm process (3K-FLOW) and the fixed-bed process (3K-PLUS), each as a complete system in concrete or plastic tanks or as a retrofit kit for existing plants. In addition, the company offers pump stations including control technology, pressure drainage systems, rainwater utilisation solutions as well as add-on modules such as UV disinfection, phosphorus elimination and nitrogen removal. The K-PILOT 2.4 plant controller is IoT-capable via Wi-Fi Direct. AQUATO® delivers to Germany, Europe and worldwide and supports its specialist partners with seminars, configurators, an online shop and technical documentation.
