Belgian OEM BelleAqua identified a serious wastewater problem for many livestock farms. The water used to clean stables cannot be discharged onto the sewer or surface water. While enforcement of regulations is increasing, there are high penalties for those who discharge without a permit. The alternative is to transport the wastewater to a specialized wastewater treatment facility. Obviously, this is a very expensive way of working.

The challenge here is to convert a linear water system to a circular one. Instead of using precious potable water or groundwater and discharging it after using it once, closing the loop by treating and reusing water solves two problems: less water is taken in and less water is discharged, significantly reducing the associated costs.

By using Blue Foot technology, BelleAqua is confident that it can offer a standardized and affordable solution to treat wastewater on-site. This way wastewater is being dealt with, and even better: it can be reused infinitely.
