process wastewater/industrial wastewater
Explanation:
Will go in tih these variations and claim they are different, to perhaps the other two here meant the same without getting it exactly. You decide, but this could also be a reference.

These should differentiate my suggestions from both the other answers.

http://www.wgw.org.ua/publications/ELV - EU practice.pdf - this has both my suggestions;

and a definition http://www.epa.gov/ttnatw01/pr4/ch8.pdf
which matches the Swe http://www.borasem.se/vanstermeny/foretag/vattenochavlopp/pr...

  -> Thanks, Sven!
agree  Charlesp: I'd suggest industrial wastewater.
9 hrs
  -> Thanks, Charles! Industrial seems to be the accepted UK term
agree  Richard Green: Yes, had a similar translation a few months ago, and this is what we went with.
11 hrs
  -> Thanks, Richard! It did sound familiar.
neutral  Michele Fauble: Both terms are fine. "Utsläpp" and "renat" do make the "waste" in "wastewater" redundant and not strictly necessary.

wastewater from processing (of...)


Explanation:
or "wastewater from [industrial] processing."

Why not make it descriptive, rather than feel one has to follow the word order of the term in Swedish.
