Membrane Technology
Osmoflo becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Zosen
J
apan’s Hitachi Zosen Corp (Hitz) has acquired further shares in Australian desalination and water treatment company Osmoflo Holdings Pty Ltd. The move means that Osmoflo is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitz. In February 2017 (Membrane Technology February 2017, page 1) Hitz acquired 70% of the outstanding shares in Osmoflo, making it an affiliated company. With the intension of strengthening its water treatment segment – which is at the core of its long-term business plan referred to as ‘Hitz 2030 Vision’ – it has acquired the remaining 30% of Osmoflo shares from Japan’s Marubeni Corp. Hitz is aiming to expand its water business by integrating Osmoflo’s technology, which primarily involves reverse osmosis systems, with its own plant engineering and experience, accumulated through it work covering multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) water desalination. (Also see ‘Marubeni buys into Australian desalination company Osmoflo’, Membrane Technology April 2011, page 1.) For further information, visit: www.hitachizosen.co.jp/english & www.osmoflo.com
SUEZ opens mobile water service centre in Atlanta to better serve customers

n order to better serve its customers in Southeastern USA, SUEZ Water Technologies & Solutions is opening a new mobile water service centre in Atlanta, Georgia. According to SUEZ, this service centre will enable it to provide faster delivery of mobile water treatment systems for the Southeast, which equates to less downtime at a plant and increased cost savings. The company says that it has one of the world’s largest fleets of mobile water treatment systems. These are capable of supplying water at any quantity and quality needed on a shortterm, emergency or commissioning basis, and for long-term service contracts.
‘For more than 40 years SUEZ has been providing guaranteed mobile water treatment systems to keep its customers’ plants online and in production. The opening of the company’s new service centre in Atlanta will enable it to continue to deliver state-of-the-art services for the Southeast in the fastest and most costefficient manner possible,’ explained Kevin Cassidy, global leader, engineered systems, SUEZ – Water Technologies & Solutions. ‘Whether it is for a planned or an unplanned outage, SUEZ’s mobile water fleet can be deployed within three hours and operates 24 hours a day and seven days a week to provide pure water for critical industrial processes.’ The facility, with an area of 5834 m2 (62 800 ft2), consists of a plant, office and storage areas. It will create new jobs in the Atlanta area to support the service centre operation, field services and direct customer commercial development. The new location will house a range of water treatment technologies to provide deionisation, demineralisation, resin regeneration, filtration, reverse osmosis, softening and deoxygenation treatment for raw water, process/make-up water and wastewater. Industries that commonly need mobile water systems include the powergenerating, pulp and paper, chemical processing sectors, and any business that requires highwater quality. In addition, the new location will provide InSight-enabled equipment (also see ‘Digitally monitoring boiler water optimises resources and reliability’ on page 8 of this issue).
