Combined, we have over 100 years’ expertise in water treatment, and work with companies across South Africa.
Wastewater Clarification & Solids Removal
A successful sewage water treatment process often depends on effective clarification and solids separation. Flocculation and coagulation play a critical role in removing suspended solids, improving settling rates and enhancing overall treatment efficiency.
G-Chem Aquacare supplies specialised treatment products designed to support:
- Coagulation process
- Flocculation process
- Sludge thickening
- Clarification process optimisation
- Solids settling and separation
- Water recovery programmes
- Effluent quality improvement
By working with us, you can reduce operating costs, improve discharge quality and enhance overall plant performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Effluent water treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater before it is discharged or returned to the environment. Effluent water treatment programmes are designed to improve water quality and help businesses comply with environmental standards.
Effective industrial wastewater treatment can help businesses reuse water and improve operational efficiencies. By using this service, you also protect the environment and comply with government regulations.
Wastewater treatment systems can remove a wide range of contaminants, including suspended solids, oils, grease, organic matter, heavy metals, nutrients and harmful microorganisms. The treatment process depends on the type of wastewater being generated.
Many industries rely on effluent treatment, including manufacturing, food and beverage processing, mining, agriculture, chemical production and commercial facilities. Any operation that generates wastewater can benefit from a tailored treatment programme.
Effective wastewater treatment can minimise equipment damage and help prevent regulatory penalties. It can also reduce your overall water consumption, as the water can be reused more effectively.
Effluent treatment focuses on wastewater generated by industrial or commercial processes, while sewage treatment deals primarily with wastewater from homes, offices and public facilities. Both aim to remove contaminants, but the treatment methods often differ depending on the source of the wastewater.
