DESIGN

Comprehensive solutions for capital investment projects

We provide a complete range of services -from developing project concepts and preparing feasibility studies to designing technical documentation and obtaining all required permits. Our solutions are tailored to the investor’s requirements, site-specific conditions, and applicable regulations.

Laboratorij

LABORATORY

Testing, analysis and characterisation

Our laboratory performs sampling, testing, and analysis of all key properties of waste, wastewater, sludge, compost, and other biodegradable materials. Test results provide the foundation for process design, optimisation, and operational monitoring of treatment facilities.

ENGINEERING

Tailor-made treatment plants

Working closely with our clients, we select the optimal technology and equipment and integrate them into fully functional turnkey solutions. We develop solutions for new facilities as well as the modernisation and reconstruction of existing systems, with a strong focus on reliability, efficiency, and ease of operation.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT (R&D)

Process development and optimisation

The expertise and experience of CROTEH’s professionals and partners are dedicated to developing sustainable technologies and implementing them at an industrial scale, with the aim of reducing environmental impacts.

Thank You

LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP

CROTEH delivers more than just engineering documentation and equipment—we provide long-term technological support throughout the entire lifecycle of your treatment facility.

Drawing on our in-house laboratory, engineering expertise, and extensive experience in the treatment of complex municipal, industrial, and landfill leachate wastewater, we develop safe, efficient, and sustainable technological solutions tailored to real operating conditions.

Our commitment does not end with the delivery and installation of equipment. We support our clients in the continuous improvement of treatment processes, ensuring reliable plant operation, long-term performance optimisation, effective asset management, and regular maintenance.

We develop solutions for industrial, municipal, and landfill leachate wastewater with highly variable compositions and heavy pollutant loads – applications where conventional systems often fail to deliver the required stability and performance.

Our accredited Ecotechnology Laboratory enables us to base every solution on real analyses of your samples – not assumptions. Before the design phase begins, we have a complete understanding of your material’s characteristics.

  • ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory (accredited by the Croatian Accreditation Agency – HAA)
  • Physicochemical and biological analyses
  • Pilot-scale testing and validation prior to plant construction

Our engineering solutions are based on real sample analyses, pilot testing, and continuous plant performance monitoring, ensuring reliable and stable plant operation.

We take full responsibility for project execution, from conducting analyses and engineering design to installation, commissioning, and long-term maintenance.

Our dedicated service team is available year-round, providing rapid on-site response to minimize downtime and ensure uninterrupted plant operation.

Through process optimization, we reduce energy and chemical consumption, minimize excess sludge production, and lower the overall cost of plant operation.

We design our plants to allow for easy capacity expansion and adaptation to future regulatory requirements without the need for major modifications.

Do you want to obtain the EU Ecolabel mark?

EU Ecolabel is an official eco-label of the European Union that marks „green“products and services. For example, those that have a less unfavorable impact on the environment during their life cycle. In this way, products and services contribute to the goal of climate neutrality of the European Union and the establishment of a circular economy.

EU PROJECTS

The projects are financed by the European Fund for Regional Development, as a part of the Operational Program Competitiveness and Cohesion 2014-2020

1. REAL SAMPLE COLLECTION

We collect representative field samples directly at client facilities and analyze them in our accredited laboratory in accordance with recognized standards. Our laboratory testing includes physical, chemical, and biological parameters required to define design input values, including load variability and seasonal or operational fluctuations. These data form the foundation for reliable scaling solutions and technology development.

2. DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS

Based on the assessment of existing conditions and laboratory results, we develop technical solutions tailored to each client’s requirements. When designing solutions, we consider plant capacity, influent characteristics, discharge requirements (public sewer systems or natural receiving waters), and circular economy principles. To support detailed process development, our laboratory is equipped with reactors, measuring instruments, and pilot-scale systems that allow us to simulate real operating conditions. Through pilot testing, we evaluate process efficiency, optimize operating parameters, and validate treatment concepts before full-scale implementation. This approach significantly reduces investment and operational risk while ensuring long-term sustainability of the selected solution. We also place strong emphasis on optimizing energy, chemical, and resource consumption while minimizing the plant’s environmental footprint throughout its lifecycle.

3. ENGINEERING DESIGN AND PERMITTING

Our multidisciplinary engineering team prepares complete project documentation, from conceptual designs and feasibility studies to detailed engineering documentation and permit applications. All documentation is developed in accordance with current legislation, technical regulations, and applicable standards while maintaining close coordination with clients and regulatory authorities.

4. PLANT ENGINEERING AND INSTALLATION – Complete turnkey plant implementation proposal, including detailed design documentation and commissioning services

We deliver turnkey treatment plants tailored to each client’s needs. Our services include detailed engineering design, equipment procurement and delivery, site organization, installation of process and electrical equipment, and integration of automation and control systems. The final stage includes functional testing and preparation for plant commissioning.

5. CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION

We provide professional technical supervision during construction to ensure full compliance with project documentation, technical standards, and contractual requirements. We monitor construction quality, installed equipment, and adherence to project timelines.

6. PLANT COMMISSIONING AND STAFF TRAINING

After construction and functional testing are complete, we perform staged commissioning with continuous monitoring of process parameters and adjustment of operating conditions. We also prepare operational manuals and provide professional staff training to ensure safe, efficient, and long-term stable plant operation.

7. POST-CONSTRUCTION TESTING

After project completion, we perform functional and other tests to verify that the treatment plant achieves the required operational parameters and effluent quality.

8. PLANT SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

We provide preventive and corrective maintenance, scheduled service inspections, and 24/7/365 technical support. Our systematic maintenance approach extends equipment lifespan, minimizes downtime risk, and ensures high operational efficiency.

9. PLANT MONITORING AND OPERATIONAL CONTROL

We implement SCADA and PLC automation and control systems that enable continuous plant monitoring, analysis of key process parameters, and rapid response to operational deviations or fluctuations in wastewater flow and loading. We place particular emphasis on reducing energy, chemical, and labor consumption.

10. PLANT OPTIMIZATION AND RECONSTRUCTION

We perform technical assessments of existing systems to identify capacity limitations, energy losses, and operational inefficiencies. Based on our findings, we recommend retrofits, upgrades, and modernization of technological process lines to improve efficiency, ensure compliance with new regulatory requirements, and extend plant service life.
