Pörner uses efficient, environmentally friendly walnut shell filters for produced water treatment - a proven solution for reliable, sustainable operation.

Water is an indispensable resource for nearly all industries. Ensuring its supply, treatment, and disposal is critical for sustainable production. At the same time, water is becoming increasingly scarce, which makes efficient use and treatment a decisive factor for many production sites. Even in regions with traditionally high water availability, efficient use and treatment are becoming more important, especially for hydrogen production via electrolysis.

The Pörner Water Competence Center designs, plans, and builds complete water treatment plants worldwide for the following sectors:

Energy & Environment (e.g., electrolysis)
Oil and gas fields (onshore and offshore)
Refineries
Petrochemical industry
Chemical industry
Pharmaceutical industry
