Oberhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany - Emscher conversion, new Emscher AKE sewer, here the new Oberhausen pumping station, Germany's largest wastewater pumping station, uses 10 pumps to pump up to 16, 500 litres of wastewater per second from a depth of around 40 metres. At the back, new floodplains for better flood protection. At the back right, OQ Chemicals plant Ruhrchemie. The ecological conversion of the Emscher system consists of the construction of a central wastewater treatment system in the Ruhr area, the construction of sewers and the renaturalisation of the Emscher and its tributaries
