CIEM Engineering Swiss Sagl
Microbiolflotation and bioflotation for advanced treatment of industrial wastewater

CIEM Engineering Swiss Sagl was founded in 2021 with the aim of creating innovative, custom-made solutions for issues related to polluted water and its treatment.
Patents and technologies
Following decades of experience and experimentation during which we have consistently applied our solutions to problematic cases, CIEM Impianti Srl has gained the strong expertise needed to secure new patents based on the Microbioflotttion technique, an engineering development of the Bioflotation system. Used in various environments where advanced treatment of industrial wastewater takes place, the patents are applied to different European and non-European installations, including for prestigious multinational groups.
CIEM: a pioneering company
- BI Patent N. 0001385009
- EP Patent N. 2294018

History
CIEM Engineering Swiss Sagl’s history is characterised by continuous research and the experience CIEM Impianti Srl technicians have gained over time, having been dealing with wastewater treatment since 1990. That was the year that we began partnering with Engineer Odobez, the owner of an original patented oxygenation system, Bioflotation. Bioflotation is suitable for treating mixed or industrial wastewater, which are especially resistant to approaches that use traditional bio-oxidation methods.
