Terminator Water Solutions
Specialists in wastewater treatment plants
Technology has been advancing in recent years, so that practically all types of wastewater can now be treated. However, every water is different. We apply the appropriate technology for each project, giving our customers a "turnkey" treatment plant according to their specific needs. Terminator Water Solutions does not handle generic solutions to treat water, since THERE IS NO GENERIC SOLUTION TO TREAT WASTEWATER; each water requires a specific treatment and process, according to its own characteristics. On the other hand, if a client has a PTAR out of operation, insufficient for its current load or simply ineffective, we offer the re-engineering or expansion of its plant to take advantage of the existing investment. We offer sustainable plants with options for reuse of products derived from the treatment process in the form of biofuels for your PTAR or industrial operation. It can be a great saving that results in an excellent investment for the user as well as for the environment.
