OSMOTEC understands the issues and drivers for utilities tasked with providing wholesome drinking water to their communities, cost-effectively and safely.

We are leaders in the field of drinking water quality risk assessment and management. Our holistic approach to drinking water quality from catchment to tap allows a utility to produce safe drinking water while achieving efficiencies and optmising expenditure.

Water treatment plants are often identified as the critical barrier for a range of contaminants (e.g. algae, algal toxin, pesticides, Cryptosporidium, bacteria and viruses). OSMOTEC can assist with optimisation, augmentation, trouble-shooting and modernisation services to ensure plants continue to supply the volume and quality of drinking water communities demand.
