Process Water Treatment with Specialized Chemicals for Industrial Applications
Stable Processes, Reliable Water Quality and Efficient Plant Operation
Industrial water treatment is an essential part of modern process, energy and utility systems. It helps maintain the required water quality in cooling circuits, boiler systems, production facilities and wastewater treatment processes and supports compliance with applicable requirements, such as those of the EU Water Framework Directive.
Without effective water treatment and suitable chemicals, industrial water systems can be affected by:
- Scale and salt deposits
- Corrosion in pipelines and heat exchangers
- Unstable pH levels and deposits on plant components
- Increased microbial contamination and associated hygiene risks
- Biofilm formation
These effects can lead to unplanned downtime, higher maintenance costs and reduced equipment service life.
RHOBA-Chemie develops and manufactures specialized chemicals for industrial water treatment, tailored to the requirements of your process water system. Our laboratory develops custom formulations under controlled quality processes to meet specific application and system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Process Water Treatment
What Is Chemical Wastewater Treatment?
Chemical wastewater treatment uses specialized chemicals to bind unwanted substances and remove them from the water.
How Does Chemical Wastewater Treatment Work?
Chemical wastewater treatment typically involves several steps:
1. pH Adjustment
First, the pH value of the wastewater is adjusted. Many chemical reactions work effectively only within a specific pH range. Adjusting the pH creates the right conditions for the subsequent treatment steps.
2. Coagulation
In the next step, coagulants are added to destabilize finely dispersed or suspended particles in the water. This leads to the formation of initial microflocs.
3. Flocculation
Flocculants are then added to combine the microflocs into larger, stable flocs. These can be separated from the water more easily.
4. Solid-Liquid Separation
The resulting flocs are removed from the water through processes such as sedimentation, flotation or filtration. This separates the solids from the wastewater.
5. Post-Treatment and Monitoring
RHOBA-Chemie supports the entire treatment process with customized specialized chemicals tailored to your specific application and operating conditions.
