GEH Wasserchemie: solutions for sustainable clean water

It was only in 2010 that access to clean water was declared a human right by the UN. However, we at GEH® Wasserchemie have been working on effective and sustainable water treatment since 1997. Our goal is to make clean water accessible to people all over the world. In the course of this, we invented the patented adsorption material based on iron hydroxide. Today, we supply customers around the world with 2.000 tonnes of our product annually.

Safe drinking water in Pakistan with the help of GEH Wasserchemie
We at GEH Wasserchemie are aware of the importance of clean drinking water, especially in Pakistan. Since the major water crisis in 2018, the country's secure water supply has once again come to the fore.
With improved water management and the ability to filter water effectively, it is possible to provide access to safe drinking water for all people in Pakistan.

Arsenic removal in water treatment: Possible processes

GEH Wasserchemie allows for reduced consumption

Compared to our competitors, our material is considerably more effective. Comparative tests have also shown this: our material impresses with a higher treatment capacity of up to 100 percent. This is only one of the good reasons why it is worthwhile to be a customer of ours. If you rely on GEH Wasserchemie, your plants will achieve a significantly longer service life while using the same amount of material.

More than just standard: GEH Wasserchemie

The quality standards for iron hydroxide for the treatment of drinking water are set by the EU through the EN DIN 15029 standard. And not only does GEH Wasserchemie meet these standards - we exceed them! And thus set the bar even higher. Learn more about GEH Wasserchemie and our standards.

GEH Wasserchemie shows a clean and clear solution

The great advantage of our adsorbent is its sustainability: while other processes work with precipitants and subsequent filtration, our product effectively binds heavy metals and removes them from the water cycle for good. As a result, the amounts of waste are significantly lower when GEH® is used.
