Water

The Element H2O

Only just under 1% of global water reserves can be used directly for drin­king water. Where drin­king water is needed, we focus our efforts on trea­ting the remai­ning water resources in the required quality and quan­tity.

Our Mission

"Water is not everyt­hing - but without water there is nothing"

One thing is certain: global water resources are limited. There are an esti­mated 1.38 billion cubic metres of water on the Earth. This figure may seem incre­dibly large, but bear in mind that roughly 97.5% is present in the oceans in the form of hydro­chloric acid, and another 1.72% of the world's water supply is contained in glaciers, ice and snow. What remains is only just under 1% of the 1.38 billion cubic meters of water avai­lable to humans as vital drin­king water.

1.38 billion cubic kilo­me­tres of water depo­sits

98.28% of the world’s acces­sible water is avai­lable in liquid form, but only a very small percen­tage (0.78%) can be used for drin­king water.

Every day BWT resear­ches, deve­lops and focuses on inno­va­tive solu­tions for the conver­sion of salt water, surface and ground­water into drin­king water, process water and puri­fied water.

Water Inno­va­tions

BWT can offer you inno­va­tive products in the water and water treat­ment sector. Our main focus is on human need and, of course, the careful mana­ge­ment of the precious resource, water. But for us, it is about more than just water. Regard­less of whether it is used to drink, for swim­ming pools or as the purest ingre­dient in medi­cines, infu­sions or cosme­tics, we supply water in the best possible quality avai­lable based on the requi­re­ment. And preci­sely where it will be used.

Magne­sium Mine­ra­lized Water

Magne­sium Mine­ra­lized Water is a true taste expe­rience as well as the ideal source of your daily magne­sium requi­re­ment.

It also has an almost neutral pH and contains less calcium and fewer taste-​impairing subs­tances. This not only brings out the full taste of coffee and tea, but also protects your kitchen appliances from limes­cale depo­sits.

Silky-​soft BWT Pearl Water

Silky-​soft water is a true beauty therapy. It contains low levels of calcium, which can remain on the skin and hair as limes­cale depo­sits, and care products can be absorbed more effec­ti­vely. Silky-​soft BWT Pearl Water also leaves your bath­rooms and kitchens shiny, and your laundry luxu­riously soft.

Again, soft water means less calcium in the water, which in turn means less limes­cale depo­sited on fixtures, tiles, glass­ware and cutlery and your laundry.

BWT Water for Injec­tion

You come into contact with BWT Puri­fied Water every day, and most of the time without reali­sing it; for example, in cosme­tics, medi­cines or other phar­ma­ceu­tical products.

Puri­fied water is indis­pen­sable in the manu­fac­ture of many products, where safety and purity are top prio­ri­ties, and this is why manu­fac­tu­rers rely on puri­fied water from BWT’s processes and systems. Ulti­ma­tely to enhance your life and your quality of life.

Water Tech­no­logy

Many water treat­ment tech­no­lo­gies we have deve­loped have their origin in nature, inclu­ding ion exchange and osmosis. We look and learn. We then go one step further – into the future.

A central feature of all our conti­nuing and new deve­lop­ments is a reduc­tion in resource and energy consum­ption and an asso­ciated reduc­tion in CO2 emis­sions, and we take our respon­si­bi­lity in terms of ecology, cost effi­cien­cies and social concerns very seriously. The use of state-​of-the-art tech­no­lo­gies is our star­ting point, and the ongoing deve­lop­ment of our products also contri­butes signi­fi­cantly to our company’s growth.

The Future of Water

Provi­ding water in suffi­cient quan­tity and the required quality is the global challenge of the 21st century, whether in ecolo­gical, social, poli­tical or economic terms.

Zukunft Wasser
Future of water

The world’s popu­la­tion is growing stea­dily, and more water is being consumed to produce an increa­sing number of consumer goods. The exis­ting, already scarce, sources of drin­king water are beco­ming increa­singly polluted and, last but not least, the conse­quences of climate change make water a commo­dity that is beco­ming more diffi­cult to access.

Global challenges

Accor­ding to UN fore­casts, the world’s popu­la­tion will grow to 9.6 billion in 2050. Today, half of huma­nity lives in cities, rising to two-​thirds by 2050. The largest increase is in deve­lo­ping coun­tries, where water scar­city is already a reality.

Population growth
Population growth
Due to the growing need for food, energy and sani­ta­tion, the global demand for water will increase by roughly 55% by 2050. The shar­pest increases will be recorded in industry (400%), power gene­ra­tion (140%) and households (130%). However, consum­ption in agri­cul­ture, which currently requires the largest share of the water, is falling slightly.

Global demand for water

Appro­xi­ma­tely a quarter of the world’s water needs are currently met by ground­water. However, the steady decline in the ground­water supply means that in 2050 over 40% of the world’s popu­la­tion will live in areas where water is scarce.

Water – our Mission

BWT is facing all these challenges as a global company. Our mission is to develop resource-​conserving, sustai­nable products and services that treat exis­ting water to supply it in the best possible quality. We also make exis­ting water resources acces­sible where the water is required. Our profes­sional water treat­ment turns conta­mi­nated water into high-​quality drin­king water, process water or even puri­fied water, depen­ding on the need.
