Evoqua Acquires US Based Self-Cleaning Water Filtration Company

United States: Evoqua Water Technologies along with recently acquired Neptune Benson, have bought VAF Filtration Systems, a US based company engaged in the production of screen filtration and automatic, self-cleaning water filtration systems for markets including water and wastewater, industrial water reuse, cooling towers, river intake water, seawater, well water, irrigation and groundwater re-injection. In March, 2016, Evoqua Water Technologies acquired Neptune Benson, a company involved in the manufacturing of water filtration and disinfection systems for both industrial as well as municipal water markets. Post this acquisition, media-free filter products of VAF Filtration Systems would be added to Evoqua product portfolio.

TechSci Research depicts that the acquisition of VAF Filtration Systems would strengthen Evoqua’s position in the international water filtration market. Additionally, the acquisition is expected to aid the expansion of Evoqua’s filtration product portfolio and address the growing demand for water and wastewater treatment in the United States.

According to the recent report published by TechSci Research, “Mobile Sewage Treatment Systems Market  in United States        By End User (Residential, Industrial and Commercial), Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011 – 2021”, the market for mobile sewage treatment systems in the US is projected to reach USD134 million by 2021. Aging waste water treatment facilities; rising awareness regarding the benefits of these systems; depleting water resources; implementation of stringent government regulations on wastewater disposal and discharge; and growing number of gated colonies, group housing societies as well as individual homes, commercial spaces and manufacturing industries are anticipated to boost adoption of mobile sewage treatment systems in the US over the period of next five years.
