ISSN 0958-2118 August 2004 www.filtsep.com
Hydranautics and Indeck form US partnership International membrane technology company Hydranautics and municipal systems manufacturer Indeck have formed a partnership, in the USA, to sell systems based on the HYDRAcap capillary ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. According to Hydranautics, Indeck's market presence, systems manufacturing capability and experience, together with its own HYDRAcap technology, allows the companies to fulfil their customers’ water-treatment requirements using UF. HYDRAcap and HYDRAcap-LD (large diameter) UF technologies are designed to
offer single-step treatment, fouling resistance and chemical free operation at high recovery rates, claims Hydranautics. They can be used as either a primary treatment method or a pretreatment step to reverse osmosis in potable water applications, ground water recharging and water recycling.

Cuno and WTC prepare for their merger US companies Cuno Inc and WTC Industries Inc have now satisfied their Hart-Scott-Rodino obligations, which will enable them to complete their merger agreement. They have jointly announced that the waiting period imposed by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, which is associated with Cuno's pending acquisition of the voting securities of WTC, expired on 9 July 2004. A special meeting of stockholders of WTC is scheduled to be held as this issue of Membrane Technology goes to press. The merger will be completed, provided that is it approved
by the WTC stockholders and that other conditions to closing are satisfied. As reported in the July issue of the newsletter, the acquisition of WTC Industries will broaden Cuno's product line, technology portfolio and customer base, and expand the company's presence in the water filtration business. According to Cuno, WTC is an excellent strategic fit with its potable water business, the company's largest and fastest growing segment.
