With more than 30 years of international experience, we have built up a broad competence in water treatment for drinking and process water. The customer / reference base is very extensive and ranges from simpler water treatment plants to private, public buildings, housing associations, hotels to more complex solutions for hospitals, food production, industry, aquaculture, and waterworks. We master a wide range of technologies from media filtration, ion exchange, membrane filtration (UF, MF, NF, RO), UV, AOT, O3, EC, DI, EDI to green ZLD recycling solutions aimed at industrial applications and the green shift.
