The Lachendorf wastewater treatment plant belongs to the Matheide wastewater association and treats the entire wastewater of 18,000 population equivalents. As part of the climate protection sub-concept “Climate-friendly wastewater treatment”, the sludge thickening system was replaced by a solidXdrain belt thickener and extended by an energy-efficient solidXpress belt filter press.

The new equipment was installed centrally and compactly in an existing room. For the renewal of the mechanical sludge thickening system, a mobile belt thickener was provided to ensure the operation of the wastewater treatment plant.
