About WAT-membratec
WAT-membratec® water technology GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned company based in Erkrath specializing in turnkey plant technology for water, wastewater, recycling and separation technology. The company plans, manufactures and delivers plants for boiler feed water treatment, drinking water supply, ultrapure water supply as well as water upgrading and recycling – together with national and international partners also worldwide. The technological spectrum includes chemical processes (neutralization, precipitation, flocculation, adsorption, ion exchange, oxidation), mechanical separation processes (sedimentation, screening, filtration, CO₂ stripping), thermal processes (degassing, thermal disinfection), biological processes (MBR membrane bio reactor, sludge digestion) as well as membrane processes from micro- and ultrafiltration to nanofiltration, reverse osmosis and electrodeionization. In addition, the company offers plant service with a nationwide service network, remote maintenance and remote diagnostics as well as a chemicals service with the WAT-Coribin range and as a service and sales partner of NALCO Deutschland GmbH since 2010. Customers include hospitals and laboratories, research institutions, power plants, chemical companies, municipal water suppliers, food businesses as well as pharmaceuticals and semiconductor technology.
