TZW

TZW develops scientifically founded solutions for all aspects of water supply. Our expertise is based on the results of almost 50 research projects annually that are funded by national or international funding bodies. Our more than 1,000 customers are water suppliers, industrial companies, specialist authorities and universities. For these customers we develop new and future-proof concepts by closely collaborating with science and practice. Our interdisciplinary teams are experts working in the areas of environmental biotechnology and contaminated sites, groundwater and soil, analysis and water quality, technology and economics, microbiology and molecular biology, water chemistry research, the test centre and corrosion as well as distribution networks and household installations. TZW is part of DVGW (German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water) and a non-profit and independent institution. Approximately 200 highly qualified staff members from the specialist fields of chemistry, biology, physics, environmental science, process technology and materials science work in application-oriented research and scientific consultation. Since its foundation in 1991, TZW has become a nationally and internationally recognised platform for an in-depth discussion on the topic of water. The annual budget of approx. 19 million euro comes primarily from research funding, practical research contracts and technical and scientific studies.
