Project’s context & challenges

A leading food processing company in Ukraine required a new wastewater treatment plant to support the relocation of production lines from Kharkiv and ensure compliance with some of Europe’s most stringent river discharge standards.

The project was developed under challenging circumstances and an accelerated timeline. Due to the ongoing situation in Ukraine, Nijhuis Saur Industries executed the project in close cooperation with an experienced local partner. This collaboration enabled efficient project delivery while supporting the customer in obtaining the necessary permits for river discharge.

By combining advanced wastewater treatment technologies with local engineering and implementation expertise, Nijhuis Saur Industries successfully delivered a complete turnkey solution that ensures reliable operation and full compliance with environmental regulations.
