Competence Brochure On Potable Water

A well-functioning, public fresh water supply is a vital component in the modern industrial world. Availability of water in the necessary quality and quantity is the basis for human well-being and economic development. European Directive 98/83 defines new requirements in fresh water treatment. These have already been, or are currently being, adapted by the European member states. The origin and quality of raw water used in drinking water treatment differ in diverse parts of the world. The drinking water treatment plants therefore vary in their complexity. Independent of this, all utility companies are required to maintain a first-rate performance and increasingly cost-effective operations.
