Our History

1992

Foundation of the company

Aqua Technologie Nörpel (ATN) was originally founded in October 1992 as an engineering office by Dipl.-Chem.-Ing. (FH) Clemens Nörpel. Besides consulting and planning services for water treatment plants in the food and beverage industry, the company's core business has also included distributing UV-disinfection systems from the very beginning.

1993

First Patent Application

In 1993, we registered our first patent for a “Water Saving in the Bottle Washer”. The company's work has been focused on our own and other new technologies - largely patent-protected – from that time until the present.

1996

Transition from a Pure Engineering Office to a Plant Manufacturer

Overall responsibility for planning, construction and start-up of water treatment plants for the food and beverage industry as well as for horticultural farms. Expansion of existing regional partnerships and formation of strategic alliances to handle different types of projects.

2004

First Large-Scale Project for a Water Treatment Plant in the Beverage Industry

Planning and construction of a water treatment plant for a major international beverage production and bottling plant. When planning this water treatment plant, we needed to consider the full range of products from fruit juices to fruit juice beverages and soft drinks until non-aerated and carbonated waters. Other important areas included in planning are general operations, operating technologies and filling porcess. We needed to define different levels of water quality In order to best supply various business and production areas. This water treatment process is based on a multi-stage reverse osmosis for desalination. Other functional units include aeration, sand filters, pumping stations with UV equipment, ozone impregnation, activated carbon filters, fine filtration with integrated UV device, etc.

2010

Move Into New Office Building

ATN expanded to meet increasing requirements and moved to another facility located in Mönsheim near Pforzheim. We still provide the same familiar level of quality at our new site.

2014

Largest Order in the Company’s History Successfully Completed

Complete water treatment for table and soda water for the biggest brewery in Thailand located in Bangkok. In addition to conception, design, engineering and pipework planning the order also included delivery of single components, prefabricated units, switch board and plant assembly as well as start-up of the entire water treatment plant. Local assembly and piping was handled by a local business partner.
