Our services
Industrial water treatment
From raw water to the point of use: wells, filtration, reverse osmosis, remineralization, disinfection.
From raw water to the point of use: we design, build and commission your water treatment line. Well equipment from 1 to 250 m³/h, media filtration, ultrafiltration up to 115 m³/h, reverse osmosis from 3 to 130 m³/h, remineralization from 4 to 155 m³/h, UV and ozone disinfection, cleaning-in-place units. Process know-how comes from our partner ICE Water Management, a French water treatment builder equipping bottlers and food production sites worldwide, from Nestlé Waters to Suntory and Spadel. Vanguard Waters stays your single point of contact in Switzerland: we steer the project, integrate control and supervision, and coordinate the site work. New installations, capacity extensions or upgrades of existing lines.

Use cases
From the wellhead to final disinfection: a complete line for natural mineral water or spring water, with controlled remineralization and ozonation.
Adding a reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration unit to an existing line. Audit of the current setup, tie-in and ramp-up without stopping production.
Custom treatment of brewing or dairy water: constant quality, adapted cleaning in place, treatment and recycling of discharges.
Diagnosis and resolution of quality issues: bacteriological contamination, bromates, raw water variation. Cleaning protocols and reinforced quality control.
Frequently asked questions
What flow rates can you handle?+
Depending on the stage: 1 to 250 m³/h at the well, 3 to 130 m³/h for reverse osmosis, up to 115 m³/h for ultrafiltration, 4 to 155 m³/h for remineralization. Beyond that, we study a custom configuration.
Do you work on existing installations?+
Yes. Audit of the existing setup, diagnosis of quality or performance issues, then improvement or extension. We only replace what has to be replaced.
