Terrawater specializes in the extraction of resources and water from wastewater, addressing critical global needs in water scarcity and resource recovery. The company's core offerings include various desalination technologies that utilize waste heat and solar energy, providing both mobile and stationary solutions for freshwater production. Their systems effectively treat seawater and brackish water, applicable in industries such as agriculture, food processing, and municipal water supply. Notably, Terrawater's Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems effectively separate salts and other solids from highly saline waters, addressing environmental concerns surrounding wastewater disposal.

The company's products cater to a diverse client base spanning several geographical markets, including Europe, Asia, and North America, focusing on sectors that require sustainable water management solutions. Terrawater operates on a business model that emphasizes direct engagement with clients, including partnerships with municipalities and industrial stakeholders. Revenue generation primarily occurs through the sales of their advanced desalination systems and ZLD technologies, typically structured as direct sales or long-term contracts. Transactions often involve tailored solutions, with pricing based on the specific needs and scale of the client’s operations.

The company also engages in service agreements that may include regular maintenance and support for their systems, ensuring sustained efficiency and effectiveness for end-users. Major products such as the TerraBasic and TerraSaline systems are integral to their revenue structure, with clients reliant on these innovative solutions for sustainable water sourcing and wastewater treatment. Looking ahead, Terrawater is focused on launching new advanced desalination products designed to enhance water treatment processes, with plans to unveil these innovations by 2023. The company aims to expand into the Asian and North American markets by 2025, leveraging its expertise in sustainable water solutions.

The strategic acquisition by TAPROGGE in November 2011 provides the necessary backing to support these growth initiatives, facilitating access to new resources and technology integration.
