Romanian Wastewater Market

Hydro International (UK) have recently announced their unique vortex separation technologies for wastewater treatment will be installed in Romania's water infrastructure programme, following the appointment of a distributor in the country, C & V Water.

Hydro have signed a business partnership with C & V Water to supply their leading water and wastewater treatment solutions in Romania. It is expected that the solutions will initially focus on Hydro's Grit King hydrodynamic vortex separator.

Romania has recently become a major focus for water and wastewater treatment solutions. Billions of Euros have been offered to the country to help bring their water and sewerage infrastructure up to European standards. With this investment Romania are building new wastewater treatment plants, upgrading their old plants and even connecting populations to the sewerage network for the first time.

Clive Evans, International Business Director of Hydro International said: “We are delighted to have signed a distributorship agreement with C & V Water. We have identified Romania as a strategic priority for Hydro as part of a major export growth programme to select well-qualified business partners who can introduce our unique technologies to local markets.”

Catalin Negoita, Managing Director of C & V Water said: “We believe Hydro’s vortex separation technologies will be a great advantage to wastewater plant operators in Romania, who need sustainable, low-cost and small footprint equipment solutions to meet the huge challenge of improving water quality and sanitation in the country.”

The grit removal solution offered by Hydro is expected to be top of the list because this helps to limit machine breakdown and high maintenance costs by protecting plant and equipment from the damaging wear and tear of grit particles.

The Grit King -hydrodynamic separator offers a cost-effective and compact solution to the removal of grit from drinking water or wastewater during treatment, which uses no external power source.
