Biwater

Biwater was established in 1968 as Biwater Treatment Company in Beckenham, Kent, UK, by Adrian White with an authorised share capital of £100. The name 'Biwater' was derived from the idea of working with 'two waters', the treatment of wastewater and the provision of clean drinking water.

In 1971, Biwater set up its global headquarters in Dorking, Surrey.

In the early 1970s, Biwater identified the need to develop scalable water and wastewater treatment plants.

After a number of acquisitions in 1986, Biwater developed a collective brand identity and launched the Biwater fish logo.

Americas

In the 1960s Biwater began working in the Americas, initially securing a number of equipment supply contracts. The company's first regional turnkey project was the ‘Northern Range Valleys Water Supply Scheme’ in Trinidad and Tobago. They constructed three treatment plants to provide drinking water to hillside communities.

The Group established a "Desalination and Membrane Treatment Centre of Excellence" (Biwater Inc.) in the United States following the acquisition of Advanced Environmental Water Treatment in 2005.

Middle East

Biwater have delivered a number of strategic turnkey projects across the Middle East, including the Abu Dhabi Sewage Treatment Build, Own, Operate, Transfer (BOOT) contract and Mafraq Wastewater Treatment Works in the United Emirates.

In Saudi Arabia, the Biwater's Buwayb Desalination Plant was the world's largest desalination plant at the time of commissioning. Another significant Biwater plant in the Kingdom was the Jeddah Water Reuse Facility, which was one of the first water reuse plants in the country.
