Milestones of modern water technology

The Best Water Technology Group was established in 1990 and today is Europe's leading water technology enterprise. BWT owes its exposed position to a great number of revolutionary inventions, products and processes, which set new efficiency and ecology standards in water treatment.

The most important technological milestones in the company history are:

 

2010 The innovative patented Mg2+ technology from BWT is revolutionising the process for drinking water softening. The result is a mineral-rich water with a great flavour.
2009

BWT presents its new professional Point of Use programme for the water optimisation of coffee machines, vending machines, ovens and steam cookers.

New water softening technologies: with intelligent regeneration and precision salting, AQA life, AQA smart, AQA solar.

2008 BW is presenting the world’s first arsenic table-water filter. It is based on a new cation exchanger membrane.

SANISAL is the world’s first regenerating salt for water softening systems which also disinfects.
2007

The BWT AQA perla, an alternate operating soft water system, sets new hygiene, efficiency and environmental standards in water softening.

AQA perla and AQA total Energy, the ultimate in water technology

2006 fumapen® S, carbon membrane for direct methanol fuel cells
The Hydrokat sets new safety standards thanks to the catalytic combustion of hydrogen and oxygen in electrolysis facilities, electro-dialysis and electro-deionisation.

As part of the Reaxan drinking water disinfection system, the Reaxan process is applied, as developed by BWT as a Legionella prophylaxis and means of killing off Legionella in contaminated cold and warm water installations. The process involves adding chlorine dioxide to drinking water. This chemical substance kills Legionella and other bacteria as well as removing the biofilm in pipe systems.

Septron Biosafe, a chemical-free continuous desalination system with an integrated ultra-filtration feature.
2005 PairOX, chemical-free disinfection of air humidifiers

AQA total Energy, alternative limescale and corrosion protection

With its new filter media, BWT is creating highly effective solutions for filtering out heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, iron, radium, thallium and uranium as well as for fluoride removal. With the MDA process (manganese oxide activation) and the Biox process (biological manganese removal using manganosites), an effective method of manganese removal can be developed. This can be used in particular with mineral water processing.
2004  fumapen® A, hight temperature membranes for stationary fuel cells

The Coolzon disinfectant device reduces germs in cooling water systems
2003 In order to remove Legionella from drinking water, BWT has developed B-Safe, a micro-filter made from hollow fibre membranes for application at the so-called ‘Point of Use’, the drinking water tapping point.
2002 fumion® F, perfluorinated polymers for low temperature fuel cells
2001 AQA total Plus filter system with PN 18, alternative limescale and corrosion protection
1999 Partial stream O3 method for the removal of manganese from mineral water
1997 BWT bipolar technology represents a breakthrough in chemical-free limescale protection for drinking water installations and this is reflected in AQA total Energy. All of the valuable minerals are preserved in the drinking water, thanks to the innovative technology used.
1996 The development of hybrid membranes represents the start of a range of internationally respected milestones in the field of fuel cell technology.
1995 DVGW-certified large-scale water softener
1994 BWT has introduced the world’s first electrode ionisation module (EDI) with a spiral winding in the form of the SEPTRON®. The EDI technology enables pure water to be produced quickly and safely from tap water. This high quality pure water with a low conductivity and micro-biological purity is used primarily in the pharmaceuticals industry for producing medication and infusion solutions as well as in the biotech industry.
1988 Bipolar Membrane for electrochemical dissociation of water
1986 Duplex water softening system
1983 Backwashing filter with suction ring backflushing system
1981 GS-certified PN 16 protective filter
1979 Ozone method for swimming pools
1970 Ozone method 
1957 Mineral dosing apparatus
