스위스의 원유·가스산업 물 시스템 기업인 Aquarion 그룹이 독일의 멤브레인·여과·기술(MFT)을 비공식 가격에 인수했다. Aquarion의 CEO Karl Michael Millauer는 “MFT의 인수는 향후 멤브레인 기술 부문에서 리더로서 Aquarion의 입지를 강화하게 될 것”이라고 말했다.

독일 쾰른의 MFT는 식수, 순수 생산, 염수 및 해수 담수화, 폐수처리, 물 재사용 등을 위한 정밀여과, 한외여과, 나노여과, 역삼투 시스템을 포함하는 포트폴리오를 보유하고 있다.

 

 

 

Swiss oil and gas industry water systems company, Aquarion Group, has acquired Membran- Filtrations-Technik (MFT) of Germany for an undisclosed sum.

 

"The acquisition of MFT further strengthens Aquarion's position as a leader in the membrane technology sector," said chief executive officer of Baar-based Aquarion, Karl Michael Millauer. He said the move was "expanding our membrane technology development capabilities and building on the solid membrane technology platform provided by Hager+Elsaessar, one of our flagship companies,"

 

Cologne-based MFT's portfolio includes microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis systems for potable, process and pure water production, brackish and seawater desalination, wastewater treatment, and water recycling/reuse. It serves a range of industries including oil and gas, power generation, food and beverage manufacturing, and heavy manufacturing.

 

Its membrane filtration systems range from tubular and hollow fibre modules to ceramic, plate and frame, and spiral wound modules. MFT has developed a membrane module - its circular disc module - for wastewater treatment and reuse, produced water treatment and zero liquid discharge.

MFT's management team will remain in place.
