2014

STUTTGART, GERMANY, November, 2014 – Only three months after its acquisition by Aquarion AG, a leading global water treatment company based in Switzerland, the German water treatment specialist Hager + Elsässer (H+E GmbH) has received total order income of 22,900,000 Euro. This result already exceeds its goal for 2014, with two more months to go.

“We are delighted to report that we have already surpassed our expected order intake targets for 2014. For more than 80 years, H+E has been one of Europe’s most important water treatment companies with a proven track record of leadership and innovation, despite financial issues associated with our previous ownership. The acquisition by Aquarion in July 2014 and corresponding increase in capital is a clear sign of confidence from our investors that has not only enabled us to regain our former strength but, perhaps more importantly, recapture the confidence of customers throughout our market area and achieve further growth. A special thank you needs to be said to our loyal customers who have been supporting us all the way and continue to do so, with many exciting new projects already awarded or in the queue,” said Thomas Will, Chief Executive Officer of H+E GmbH.

BAAR, Switzerland, March 17, 2014 – Aquarion Group, a global water treatment solutions provider, introduces ZLD-ECO, an advanced hybrid Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system that further optimizes the ZLD process.

ZLD-ECO utilizes innovative, proprietary pre-treatment processes to reduce thermal treatment, resulting in lower energy and chemical consumption and reduced capital cost.  ZLD-ECO lowers energy consumption by capturing and reusing the waste energy and recycling it for application in other process steps. This energy return optimizes flux rates with respect to membrane technologies.

ZLD-ECO provides high recovery rates of 90-99 percent, depending on the source water.

“Aquarion is pleased to introduce ZLD-ECO, which expands the range of zero liquid discharge technologies in our portfolio. The term ‘ECO’ emphasizes the highly economical aspects of this system. We believe that, with its lower CAPEX and OPEX, ZLD-ECO is the lowest cost technology available to achieve zero liquid discharge,” said Karl Michael Millauer, Chief Executive Officer of Aquarion Group.
