wks Technik GmbH
About
WKS Group, headquartered in Dresden, Germany, is a medium-sized plant engineering firm delivering turnkey water and wastewater treatment facilities under the slogan Wasser.Kompetenz.Systeme. Following the January 2024 merger of wks Technik, wks Automation, and wks International into a single entity, the group now unifies mechanical engineering, process design, and EMSR automation under one roof, enabling end-to-end project execution from concept through commissioning and 24/7 service. Their proprietary AW equipment line includes the AW-HYDRODEK floating clarified water decanter (rated for 250-1,500 m³/h with turbidity-dependent dynamic control and an unsinkable, water-level-guided design), the AW-HYDROKLAR-PLUS compact descending weir decanter (80-300 m³/h, wall-mounted with adjustable electromotive drive and optional heating), the AW-HYDROMIX floating vertical mixer (flow-optimized placement based on CFD simulation with frequency-controlled speed), and the AW-ASSS automatic floating sludge suction device. These AW components integrate within the HydroSys system for SBR technology. WKS covers the full treatment spectrum including activated sludge with dynamic control, SBR, membrane bioreactors, anaerobic treatment, phosphorus recovery via MAP precipitation, electrodialysis desalination, UV disinfection, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, ion exchange, and biogas purification. The firm serves municipal clients from 500 to 500,000 PE and industrial customers in pulp and paper, food and beverage, mining and chemicals, and steel and metal processing.
