Environmental care, sustainability and water saving

Environmental care, sustainability and water saving
Calcat batteries – 2002

Calcat is an engineering company with more than 30 years of experience. We are specialists in engineering solutions for the treatment, saving and optimization of water, developing projects that reduce operating costs, improve facility efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Our experience, innovation and commitment make us the trusted partner for companies seeking a more efficient, profitable and sustainable use of water.

Our mission

To extend the useful life of water and add the greatest value at every stage of its cycle.

At Calcat we combine engineering, knowledge, experience and innovation to optimize water use, improve its quality and make the most of it. We design and implement efficient, sustainable solutions that make it possible to consume less, reuse more and make better use of every resource. We support each project from the initial design phase through to the subsequent maintenance of the equipment.

Our goal is sustainability and maximum water independence: for every client to consume less, reuse more and make better use of every drop. Because we believe water should not be seen as a single-use resource, but as an element whose value we can preserve, recover and multiply.

Our values

What drives us in every project

Innovation, digitalization and automation

We look for new ways to improve water treatment and management, as our patents and our recognition as an Innovative SME show. We bring in technology, data and automation to improve control, efficiency and decision-making in every facility.

Sustainability and decarbonization

We work to reduce the consumption of water resources and minimize the environmental impact of every facility. We help our clients move towards more efficient, decarbonized facilities, with a stronger ESG position and results that can be measured and reported.

Talent and experience

People are the engine of Calcat. More than 30 years of experience and a multidisciplinary team —PhDs in chemical engineering, biologists, engineers and installation and maintenance technicians— that lets us take on complex technical challenges and keep learning on every project.

360 commitment

We get involved in every project and with every client from start to finish. From analysis and design to execution, commissioning and follow-up, we deliver comprehensive, turnkey solutions tailored to each facility, with a single point of contact.

Operational excellence

We pursue the highest quality and efficiency in everything we do, with technical rigor and optimized processes to achieve reliable, measurable results. We measure, learn and turn the experience of each project into concrete improvements we apply to the next.

The client at the center

We listen before we propose: we understand each client's needs and work to deliver solutions that create real value. We build long-term relationships based on trust, closeness and results, because their success is the best measure of ours.

How we work

Our own team, from start to finish

Tailored projects

Every facility is studied on its own terms. We start from an analysis of the actual installation —consumption, circuits, effluent characteristics— and the solution follows from that, not the other way round.

Turnkey

We take on the whole project: basic engineering, hydraulic and process calculations, sizing, manufacturing, installation and commissioning. A single point of contact.

From audit to maintenance

Engineers and technicians on our own payroll, never subcontracted. The same people who audit the facility commission it and stay in charge of operation, control and maintenance.
