Water & Wastewater · EN
The full water offering — pre-treatment, recovery, post-treatment and sludge.
Water and wastewater is Glorinda’s most specialised activity. We design each plant around the real stream: its volume, its contaminants and your discharge and reuse goals — then engineer it, procure it and support it as a turnkey package.
Overview
One partner from intake to reuse, sludge to safe output.
Glorinda stands among the leaders in water and wastewater treatment, offering efficient engineering solutions based on each customer’s needs. Working with the most reliable manufacturers worldwide, we procure the most suitable equipment at competitive prices — for municipal sewage plants, industrial water and wastewater plants and seawater desalination.
Our specialists design and implement pre-treatment (physical, chemical and biological), sludge management and thermal hydrolysis (THP), ZLD and MLD, and a range of post-treatment methods — delivered as engineering, procurement, process packages, integration, maintenance and upgrades, or complete turnkey projects.
This page presents the full offering. The water & wastewater domain is planned as a dedicated subdomain where deeper technical content will live; the links below carry onward to it as it comes online.
Pre / main / post treatment
A structured process, not a single box
- PRE
Pre-treatment
The key to a successful, low-cost plant. DAF, coagulation, softening and membrane pre-treatment reduce load and protect downstream stages.
- MLD
Minimum Liquid Discharge
Around 85% recovery using conventional RO, closed-circuit RO (CCRO) and high-efficiency RO (HERO) — a cost-effective alternative to thermal evaporation.
- MEM
Membrane & filtration
UF, NF, ceramic, hollow-fibre, tubular, flat-sheet and MBR. In SiC membranes we partner with Cembrane, the leading producer of silicon-carbide membranes.
- BIO
AnaeroMBR
A completely-mixed anaerobic reactor combined with low-energy UF membranes — ideal for high-BOD/COD streams, converting organics into biogas.
- ADS
Adsorbent systems
Up to 90% COD removal without electricity; removal of heavy metals (up to 99.5% Pb), cyanide, silica, ammoniacal nitrogen and colour, with <1% waste.
- ZLD
Zero & Minimum Liquid Discharge
Near-100% recovery for restricted or water-scarce sites; the final treatment stage for high-salinity effluent.
- POST
Post-treatment
Ion exchange, mixed bed, EDI and AOP (on-site H₂O₂ with HPNow) to reach ultrapure quality for reuse in boilers, cooling and process.
Post-treatment choices
EDI vs. mixed bed — the trade-off, from our data
Both reach high purity. EDI needs no acid/alkali regeneration and runs continuously; mixed bed has a lower initial cost. We size the choice to your water demand and operating philosophy.
Explore resins & ion exchange| Category | EDI (Electrodeionization) | Mixed Bed |
|---|---|---|
| Regeneration | None required | Frequent, with acids & alkalis |
| Environmental impact | Environmentally friendly | Hazardous regeneration waste |
| Initial investment | ~20% higher | Lower |
| Operating cost | Lower | ~12.5% higher than EDI |
| Maintenance | Minimal | Complex |
| Footprint | Compact | Larger (acid/alkali storage) |
Sludge management
The better wastewater is treated, the more sludge accumulates. We reduce volume and recover value through dewatering (screw, belt and centrifuge presses), drying and incineration — and thermal hydrolysis (THP) to boost biogas and produce hygienic, digestible sludge.
- Screw, belt-filter and centrifuge dewatering
- Thermal drying and incineration
- Thermal hydrolysis (THP) for higher biogas yield
- Biogas and organic compost from residual sludge
Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE)
Advanced, integrated lithium extraction with EPC services — design, supply, installation and training. High-efficiency sorbents with minimal loss, simulated-moving-bed (SMB) systems and specialised calcium and boron removal.
- High-efficiency sorbents, minimal lithium loss
- Optimised SMB systems
- Advanced calcium & boron removal
- Exclusive Li/Na separation resin units

FAQ
Do you deliver turnkey water plants?
Yes. We approach water and wastewater as turnkey projects — engineering, procurement, process packages, integration, commissioning and maintenance — or as any subset you need.
What recovery can MLD achieve?
Around 85% water recovery from wastewater streams using RO, closed-circuit RO (CCRO) and high-efficiency RO (HERO) — a cost-effective alternative to thermal evaporation.
Which membranes do you use?
UF, NF, ceramic, hollow-fibre, tubular, flat-sheet and MBR. For silicon-carbide (SiC) membranes we partner with Cembrane, a leading SiC membrane producer.
Can you reach ultrapure water for reuse?
Yes. Ion exchange, mixed bed and EDI post-treatment produce ultrapure water suitable for boiler feed, cooling and process reuse, backed by Glorinda Resins.
Do you handle the sludge as well?
Yes. Dewatering, drying, incineration and thermal hydrolysis (THP) are part of the offering, cutting sludge volume and recovering biogas and compost.
