Overview

TZW develops scientifically founded solutions for all aspects of the water supply. Customers are water suppliers, industrial companies, specialist authorities and universities. Interdisciplinary teams are experts working in the areas of environmental biotechnology and contaminated sites, groundwater and soil, analysis and water quality, technology and economics, microbiology and molecular biology, water chemistry research, the test centre and corrosion as well as distribution networks and household installations. The sustainable protection of water resources and innovative solutions for drinking water supply are the core of the daily work.

 

The areas include:

DRINKING WATER TREATMENT AND SUPPLY CONCEPTS

TZW experts address all drinking water treatment matters, working on the basis of scientific contexts and taking into account technical and operational aspects in view of technical regulations. Economically viable solutions are devised that offer a high degree of supply reliability. Particular… DRINKING WATER TREATMENT AND SUPPLY CONCEPTS
