블루메틱(BluMetric Environmental)은 캐나다 오타와(Ottawa)에 위치한 청정기술 회사로 스위스의 물기술 회사인 아쿠아리온(Aquarion)과 협력해 산업 폐수에 초점을 두고 기술·비즈니스·프로젝트 개발 등에 종사하고 있다.

BluMetric사는 “점점 더 엄격해지는 정부의 규제 속에서 폐수처리 문제를 해결해야 하며, 클라이언트의 요구를 충족시키면서 산업 발전 요구에 직면하는 새로운 기술 개발에 협력해야 한다. 또, 지역 사업 개발을 통한 전략과 성장을 지원할 것”이라고 설명했다.

Ottawa-based cleantech company, BluMetric Environmental, has teamed up with Swiss water technology firm, Aquarion, in a technology, business, and project development agreement with an industrial wastewater focus.

Under the deal, the companies will join forces to "address wastewater treatment issues in the context of increasingly stringent government regulation and exacting client demands, cooperate on the development of new technologies in the face of evolving industry needs, and support each other's growth through strategic sectoral and regional business development," they explained.

"With Aquarion's strength in oil and gas and energy coupled with BluMetric's depth in mining, real estate, military, and industrial solutions, the potential for growth is substantial," said Aquarion's chief executive officer, Karl Michael Millauer. "These two companies have complementary technologies, similar cultures, and few regional overlaps," he added.

BluMetric has an extensive track-record of global projects in the mining, food and beverage, and municipal sectors from offices across Canada and Central America.
