Evoqua Water Technologies’ Memcor business has been named 2015 Asia Pacific Membrane Filtration Company of the Year by consulting firm Frost & Sullivan.
A key factor in the award was the success of Evoqua’s Memcor brand of filtration technologies in meeting the acute water needs of the many underdeveloped and rural communities in the Asia Pacific region.
Last month Evoqua secured contracts worth $20 million to provide water services and technologies to six municipalities (read story).
Jonathan Leong, research associate at Frost & Sullivan, said: “Spanning across multiple applications, Evoqua’s achievements with its Memcor membranes are the result of best practices that focus on quality and environmental sustainability in Evoqua’s approach to product, people, and process,”
“The Memcor group’s experience in water treatment and its remarkable brand recognition have allowed Evoqua to establish itself across major APAC countries such as Singapore, Korea, the Philippines and China. With a dynamic product portfolio capable of competing in various end-user sectors, Evoqua is on the right track in strengthening its position as a leader in membrane technologies.”
According to Leong: “The compact size and light physical load of products like the Memcor CP II Ultrafiltration System cut operating costs for customers and adapt well to the space-constrained settings that prevail in the Asia Pacific Region.”
Govindan Alagappan, Evoqua’s director of sales & operations, Asia, said: “We’ve been here for a long time. We work hard to understand the needs of customers in this region, and our Asia Pacific network delivers solutions that meet those needs now and for years to come.”
