Klärwerk Hetlingen

The Hetlingen wastewater treatment plant purifies around 31 million cubic meters of water per year. A multi-stage, state-of-the-art purification process is used. In addition, the avoidance of odor emissions is of particular importance. The clean water is discharged into the Elbe River. In most cases, the Hetlingen wastewater treatment plant falls well below the statutory limits for pollutants and nutrients.
