The AQUAmax SBR wastewater treatment plant system from ATB – today one of the most modern and innovative technologies of our time
Always one step ahead…
What at that time caused incredible interest and great scepticism in the branch is today, across the whole of Europe, an established product with over 50,000 units sold, unchallenged market leader in Germany and a wastewater treatment plant market without it can no longer be imagined. In the meantime, from a single product a complete system which covers a large bandwidth of demands, can be obtained, from four (for remote houses) up to 500 PT (for the catering trade, hotels and commercial objects as well as for housing estates and small villages. In the meanwhile, from the first, for the conditions at that time revolutionary AQUAmax generation, a no less revolutionary AQUAmax BASIC has resulted, which – with the same efficiency – can dispense with a complete pump and can thus also with many vulnerable electrical components. And, through the exceptional AQUAmax system, all plants can even be retrofitted per update – for phosphate removal, denitrification and, very soon, for the disinfection of wastewater. And the development goes on further: together with well-known institutes and universities we are working continuously on new ideas, solutions and technologies to optimise further today’s treatment of wastewater, to make it even more efficient... and to continue to be one step ahead of the innumerable AQUAmax copies.
AQUAmax service means 100 % security for plant installers and operators!
That not least the customer service plays a large role with such a range of products goes without saying. A team of highly qualified and experienced staff therefore ensure that, practically around the clock, the installation partners and the plant operators can sleep peacefully. The ATB Emergency Service, dispatch of spare parts within 24 hours, the free hotline service, monthly installation and maintenance seminars and a great deal more round off the AQUAmax concept and complete the ATB philosophy, which still also retains its today: to make the lives of installation partners and operators of small wastewater treatment plants as simple as possible both economically as well as technically.
Foundation stones of success: innovation and quality
Through this target, enormous courage, visionary thinking, a large amount of innovative strength and an always unwavering high quality, in the shortest time one of the most renowned companies in the branch with over 50 employees has resulted from a small family operation: ATB Umwelttechnologien GmbH.
With this enormous engagement in the business of wastewater treatment technology it surprises hardly anyone that such overwhelming success has met with a wide response from the public. Thus, over recent years, ATB has received the following awards and prizes: “Environment Prize of the German Federal State of Mecklenburg Vorpommern” (1999), “Austrian Environment Prize for Innovation” (2001); “Founder Champion of the German Federal State of Nordrhein Westfalen (NRW)” (2002), “Innovation Prize Market Vision OWL” (2003), “Potential Innovation 2004” of the Financial Times Germany, “Finalist Entrepreneur of the Year” (2004 + 2005), “Finalist Grand Prize of Small and Medium-sized Firms” 2005, Innovation Quality Mark "TOP 100" 2006...
