SAN ANTONIO, TX, July 15, 2005 -- Novel treatment processes have revolutionized wastewater treatment, serving both industrial and municipal markets. Population growth, tighter regulations, increasing costs of clean water and awareness regarding protection of the remaining clean water sources, are causes for the increased demand for wastewater treatment equipment.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, "U.S. Wastewater Treatment Equipment Markets," reveals that revenue in this industry totaled $774.4 million in 2004 and estimates it to reach $1.3 billion by 2011.

The rising costs of water, which is a direct effect of the current water shortage, coupled with a booming population and tighter environmental regulations offers good market opportunities for existing and emerging players in wastewater treatment. This market is driven by the strong need for wastewater reuse.

Successful companies provide greater value-added products: It could be through higher automation, which lowers the need for manual operation and supervision by presenting flexible solutions for operation at different stages, or by offering dual or multi-utility ability.
