Our engineering office was founded in 1981 by Hans Braeuer (chemical engineer) and specialised during its early years on the development and realisation of conventional industrial waste water treatment plants.
Plants engineered during these early years are still working all over the world (USA, CH, RUS). Already in 1985 we designed industrial waste water treatments with cross-flow membrane technology (Zeiss D, Siemens CH, Siemens D). In 1991 we implemented the new technology of vacuum evaporation. As early as in 1993 we introduced a new generation of vacuum evaporators with heat-pump for the industrial waste water treatment. Also these evaporators are still working today around the world!
During the year 2000 the family was caught by the sailing disease. The disease was so strong that we sold the complete business activities in industrial waste water treatment to a competitor and sailed for one year around the mediterranean sea. |

| The story behind: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We had a great time during the over 365 days on our small sailing boat. But we also learned what it means to get a good cup of espresso - we didn't get one! And even our famous Italian coffee can, made from stainless steel, the one with the small vent holes, was not able to substitute a good espresso machine.
Additionally we often had to leave idyllic baies due to the troubles with our small desalination unit and the permanent fresh water stress. So we decided to design a new, reliable, strong and small desalination unit. |

| With our over 25 years of experience in industrial waste water treatment this should be 'no problem'! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| First we checked the units which are available on the market.
None of the tested units was working to our satisfaction. They all had already enormous deficits in the processing parameters in comparison with industrial plants. Therefore a small testing unit was designed with nearly the same process parameters as the big industrial plants. With this small, awfully looking, boatbuild unit we checked all designs to find out the ideal parameters for a small desalination unit. |

| The result of our tests was a new revolutionary small desalination unit made of high performance plastic with an output of 15 l/h and a size of only (LxBxH) 72 x 10 x 14cm !
As low-cost desalination units they can be produced in big quantities (> 1000 pcs) by injection moulding machines! |

In the year 2006 we started the development of desalination units with an output of 30 - 120 l/h. Actually the pre-series production of these units is finished. For many details of the new unit patents are pending. And also we won't miss the new development of the nano-membranes. |

| Our self-made espresso machine also is a story of success!
Today they are produced as individual handmade designs |

And of course the espresso of this -- "Macchina d'Espresso" -- is something totally different to the liquid that runs out of today's push-button espresso machines! |
