According to Terry Mah, vice president and general manager of USFilter's Kruger Products, the Hydrotech acquisition will enable USFilter to complement its filtration capabilities while providing customers with more solutions to water and wastewater treatment filtration applications. Mah explained that USFilter had previously established a license agreement with Hydrotech, and was so impressed with the operating efficiencies of the filters that it decided to acquire the company.
"The acquisition gives us an even wider range of water and wastewater filtration technologies for municipal and industrial applications," says Mah. "Hydrotech filters are popular for water reuse, and we hope to add it to our growing list of Title 22-compliant technologies." All equipment used in the state of California for the tertiary treatment of municipal wastewater must be Title 22-compliant. Although the law is only applicable in California, engineers in other states often use it as a determiner in recommending equipment.
