The Water Equation

HiLLSBRiDGE Gloabal Water (HGW) was founded by seasoned experts & engineers from Luxembourg & France, having a globally unmatched know-how of 38 years in ceramic membrane nanotechnology.

In 2012, the founders of HGW realized the need to switch from a LINEAR to a CIRCULAR management of water resources.

The Water Equation is simple:

The available water must cover our needs.
The quality of water must not put our health / industrial processes at risk.
Only ‘Water Management’ can balance ‘Needs - Availability - Quality’.

As a result, HGW developed a patented, modular & scalable water purification process, using proven & top-range equipment controlled by our own Process Management Software to purify contaminated water into WHO drinking water quality.

The Water Revolution

Our modern world still relies on centralized “mega-facilities” which are the oldest approach to wastewater management. These facilities are difficult to plan & expensive to build, operate & maintain. As a result, 80% of all wastewater globally is discharged without pollution removal.

The Water Solution

Water Restrictions only Mitigate Water Shortages!

From Linear to Circular... For Multiple Purposes & Users.

In the context of water resources management, a circular water economy:

treats any water source to be fit for use;
recycles and reuses wastewater;
reduces city water consumption;
reduces pollution of water bodies;
recovers energy & materials;
mitigates greenhouse gas emissions;
enhances resilience to climate change.
