Roth presents innovative solutions for water recycling and purification as well as rainwater utilisation in its water cycle. Water is the basis of all life: one of the most valuable resources on our planet. Roth bundles solutions for customised saving, recycling and purification of this precious commodity under the motto "W-efficiency - multiple use of water" in the Roth water cycle. These systems enable the resource-saving utilisation and treatment of water and offer pioneering solutions for private and commercial applications.
The company can look back on decades of expertise in the development, production and marketing of products and system solutions in the fields of water and wastewater treatment technology. "We have been concentrating our expertise in this area in a separate division, Environmental Systems, for many years," says Managing Partner Dr Anne-Kathrin Roth, "Environmental Systems are part of Roth's DNA and are of strategic importance." With a view to the challenges of the future and the effects of climate change, Roth is continuing to develop its solutions under the banner of "water efficiency". In doing so, the Central Hessian manufacturer is also relying on the experience, expertise and specific products of its international companies. In addition to two German locations, the environmental systems are being driven forward at Roth in Spain and the USA in particular, where the company also has its own production facilities. "In addition to rainwater harvesting and storage, our systems now cover the entire water cycle: drinking water, grey water and black water," explains Dr Anne-Kathrin Roth, "we have standardised and customisable solutions for all three areas in our portfolio, both for residential buildings and for industrial applications."
Material and process score with numerous advantages
Whether rainwater tanks or containers for treating grey water: all containers developed by Roth and manufactured worldwide using the blow moulding process from the high-performance material polyethylene high density (PE-HD) are characterised by their excellent durability. They are impact-resistant, dimensionally stable, food-safe, easy to transport and install, easy to clean if necessary and extremely durable. Roth has also developed a special flange technology for the modular, absolutely secure hygienic connection of the containers.
Water recycling as the key to sustainable resource management
The Roth AquaServe water recycling system sets new standards in the reuse of so-called grey water from showers, hand basins, bathtubs or swimming pool filter systems. With the Roth solution, the germ-free and odourless recycling of used water is carried out using state-of-the-art technology and a membrane filter; no chemicals are used. The water treated here can be reused for applications such as toilet flushing, garden irrigation or the washing machine.
Compact system saves 12,000 litres of drinking water per month
At the ISH, Roth is presenting a compact system that is suitable for a single-family household, for example. It enables the recycling of 400 litres of grey water per day. The household can thus save around 12,000 litres of drinking water per month. A look at the figures shows what this means: according to international organisations, a person needs at least 20 litres of water per day - for drinking, cooking and hygiene, not including the cultivation and production of food. For comparison: the average daily water consumption in Germany per person per day is 130 litres. "So we can see that our system can save the vital, minimum drinking water requirement of far more than 20 people per day," explains Dr Thomas Reis, Managing Director of Roth Ibérica, where system solutions for grey water recycling - but also for desalinating seawater, for example - have been gaining in importance for many years in view of the consequences of climate change and increasing drought events. The Roth AquaServe systems also score points with their virtually maintenance-free operation, simple installation and the option of being used above or below ground. "Our aim is to use modern technologies to offer needs-based solutions that ensure that the valuable resource of water is not simply disposed of, but recycled and reused sensibly," sums up Dr Anne-Kathrin Roth.
Utilising what comes from the sky: Complete packages for rainwater utilisation
Collecting and utilising rainwater can also save valuable drinking water. Roth offers complete package solutions for rainwater utilisation for underground or above-ground installation. The combination of rainwater storage and recycled water in the Roth Twinbloc, a flat storage tank that guarantees stable water quality thanks to underground storage, is particularly innovative. This can save up to 45 per cent of drinking water and waste water: "A significant contribution to conserving resources and reducing costs and environmental pollution," affirms Dr Anne-Kathrin Roth.
Collecting pits and small sewage treatment plants
If there is no connection to the local sewage system, Roth collection pits are used. They store the waste water safely until it is extracted by the vacuum truck. A wide range of accessories such as a suction device, a level indicator or the venting mushroom complete the range of products from Roth Werke, which has decades of experience in working with the specialised and wholesale trade as well as gardening and landscaping companies. Roth Umwelttechnik's portfolio also includes infiltration and treatment systems, retention tanks and small sewage treatment plants.
Holistic system solutions for maximum efficiency
Roth water efficiency systems are part of a comprehensive range that offers perfectly harmonised components. This also includes heat pump systems, drinking and heating water storage tanks as well as surface heating and cooling systems. All systems are designed in such a way that they are customised to suit requirements and guarantee maximum energy efficiency and user comfort.
