Aquatech has acquired Fluid Technology Solutions (FTS) Inc. for an undisclosed amount, marking a significant expansion in its water technology capabilities. FTS Inc. is recognized for its advanced membrane technologies and pioneering work in addressing global water scarcity and quality challenges. This acquisition sees Aquatech integrate FTS's innovative solutions into its portfolio.
FTS Inc. specializes in advanced membrane technologies that enable industrial customers to recover higher volumes of clean water for reuse with reduced energy demand. The company is a pioneer in Forward Osmosis (FO) technology and has commercialized FO and Osmotically Assisted RO (OARO) for industrial applications. These core technologies, combined with innovative process design and complementary pre-treatment and post-treatment solutions, are instrumental in water recovery, zero liquid discharge (ZLD), salt concentration, and minerals purification across various markets. Additionally, FTS offers osmotic hydration products providing drinkable water for humanitarian, rescue, and military needs.
The acquisition is strategically important for Aquatech, allowing it to enhance its offerings in critical areas of water treatment and reuse. By integrating FTS's expertise in FO and OARO, Aquatech gains advanced solutions for industrial water reuse, brine concentration, and nutrient recovery. This move strengthens Aquatech's ability to deliver comprehensive solutions that help industrial customers boost their return on investment in water management while addressing pressing environmental concerns. The synergy between Aquatech's existing capabilities and FTS's specialized technologies is expected to drive innovation and expand market reach.
The combined entity is poised to offer an even broader suite of advanced water treatment and purification technologies. This integration is anticipated to accelerate the deployment of sustainable water solutions globally, further solidifying Aquatech's position as a leader in tackling complex water challenges for industrial and humanitarian applications.
