SEGHERS ENGINEERING NV was founded on 11 September 1974. The company focused on wastewater treatment with aeration systems, the construction of waste combustion plants, Keppel Seghers developed the first-generation of air-cooled moving grates for the waste incineration. During that period, the company developed the HARDpelletiser which turns sludge into a useful, environmental-friendly product, and the ZEROFUEL fluidised bed technological solution, which is well-known as the best available technology for the combustion of sludge and other pasty wastes.

First references of Seghers Engineering were in the Belgian market in the water and sludge treatment in Louvain in 1977 and in Brugge in 1978, where the company installed a water treatment plant with activated sludge system.
