Water is one of our most valuable resources. Ensuring safe, clean drinking water requires strict adherence to environmental regulations and water purity standards.
At ANDRITZ, we design and manufacture high-performance screens that meet both international and local requirements for drinking water applications.

Whether for lakes, rivers, oceans (desalination), or underground springs, ANDRITZ intake screens are fully customized to meet the specific requirements.
