With the launch of OSMOTRON® in 1996 BWT Pharma & Biotech offered the first skid-mounted system for the production of
pharmaceutical water. At present more than 700 systems are in use across the world. With OSMOTRON® PRO BWT Pharma
& Biotech introduces a completely reengineered line of products that was developed to ensure ergonomic, economic and
environmental qualities. OSMOTRON® PRO offers you a faster and more cost-effective way of reaching your goal.
