Editorial Focus & Distribution

The Analyst, the primary publication of the Association of Water Technologies (AWT), which serves as the voice of the water treatment industry, presents new technologies in the areas of cooling, boiler and wastewater treatment. Each quarterly issue highlights current developments in industrial water treatment, while emphasizing practical applications of available technologies.

Other coverage includes AWT news and events, technical tips, and more.

AWT represents regional water treatment companies across the United States and other countries specializing in cooling, boiler and wastewater treatment. As a result, articles in the Analyst are geared primarily toward owners and managers of regional water treatment companies. The secondary audience is comprised of technical field and service representatives, chemists, suppliers and other water technologists employed by regional water treatment companies.

A growing circulation of over 5,000 water technologists and subscribers from related businesses reads the Analyst . If your company supplies products or services to regional water treatment companies, the Analyst speaks to the audience you are trying to reach.
