German term

Einleiter

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) wastewater treatment
This term occurs in a product brochure for online analyzers for use in wastewater treatment plants. It occurs in standalone terms such as:

Einleiterkontrolle
Industrieeinleiterkontrolle

And it also occurs in the following bullet point:

"Sinnvolle Anwendungen der Abwasseranalysatoren in der chemischen Industrie sind:

Bei Direkteinleitern: Grenzwertüberwachung, Dokumentation, Kostensenkung durch niedrigere Abwasserabgaben

....

I had thought it might mean "contributor", as in industries or companies contributing to the total amount of wastewater. However, I'm not at all sure. Any help much appreciated!

Laurina (asker) Apr 9, 2006:
More context info I found the following sentence in another part of the brochure. This may help to throw more light on the subject:

"Rund 50 % der papiererzeugenden Unternehmen sind Direkteinleiter und betreiben eine eigene biologische Behandlungsanlage zur Endbehandlung des Abwassers. "
