Innovation according to BWT
A strategy based on innovation
At the heart of our strategy, innovation is the driving force behind our teams' efforts to help manufacturers make optimum use of resources throughout the water cycle
Industrial water treatment
Innovating to make better use of water in industry
Water is our mission and a major challenge. We accept this responsibility, particularly when it comes to treating industrial water. That's why BWT has made investment in innovation one of its priorities, in order to improve safety and industrial performance, as well as reducing consumption and discharges of water and chemicals into the environment.
In addition to our expertise in the use of water in industry, it is by working in the field, as close as possible to our customers, their challenges and their constraints, that our innovation department and our integrated design offices develop new technologies, equipment and products destined to become tomorrow’s standards.

Win-win partnerships
IDEX La Défense
Performance, safety and environment
As the distributor for the heating and chilled water network in La Défense (92), IDEX is working with BWT to improve the performance and efficiency of technical systems and the use of water from the Seine, which is filtered and pre-treated for the network's needs.
In particular, Enertherm chose BWT ECO-MX for the production of disinfectant solution by salt electrolysis, and BWT Bluwell for real-time monitoring of key indicators relating to the installation.
The results: 50% less water consumption and 40% fewer chemicals!
REMY MARTIN
Production of ingredient water and reduced environmental impact
Cognac production requires extremely demanding water quality. BWT France, aware of these challenges and as a partner of Rémy Martin for over 20 years, was tasked with rethinking water management in 2019.
In addition to producing water that complies with the EC 1935/2004 standard, Rémy Martin is reusing its osmosis concentrates for its utilities and reducing its consumption of chemicals.
Results: 1,200 m3 of water recycled per year and 60% fewer chemicals
MP HYGIENE
An alternative solution for the biocidal treatment of process water
BWT deployed its innovative BWT ECO-MX technology for the on-site generation of a fresh disinfectant solution by salt electrolysis at a paper mill producing wiping paper, soaps and hand hygiene solutions.
The results: the company halved its budget for biocidal water treatment and cut its supply transport by a factor of 3
Another benefit for our customer: chemical risks for the 250 employees have been significantly reduced!
COOKWARE INTERNATIONAL, Pyrex
Responsible consumption
As an industrial glassmaker, Cookware International uses water to cool the components that come into contact with the molten glass.
Classified as an ICPE, the site is subject to a number of energy constraints, in addition to health and environmental requirements. Cookware International therefore called on BWT to ensure a continuous supply of cooling water
Results: reduced water consumption and elimination of chemical and pollution risks
ARCELOR MITTAL CONSTRUCTION
Responsiveness and proximity
As a manufacturer of galvanised sheet metal, Arcelor Mittal has relied on BWT for over 25 years to treat the water in its cooling towers, steam boilers and wastewater treatment plant.
The site has deployed the innovative BWT ECO-MX and BWT Bluwell solutions to reduce the risks of legionella, corrosion and scaling, ensure continuous monitoring of the installations, and guarantee optimum quality, performance and safety throughout the water treatment chain.
Results: safe installations
