We have held a longstanding commitment to being a partner in our customers’ water journey, from discovery through commissioning and ongoing operations. Over the years, our approach has evolved to meet the changing needs of our customers, but our mission and focus have always remained the same.

Q: What does the future hold for Aquatech in the next five to 10 years?

A: We are focused on helping our customers “sustain sustainability” by moving beyond just reaching goals to maintaining their sustainability metrics reliably over a long period of time — ensuring a predictable water cost.

One way to do this is by offering water technology as a service. As an accountable partner for wastewater treatment, reuse and desalination solutions, we have developed these solutions to be offered in a decentralized way through our BioMOD, R3MOD and DesalMOD product lines. These decentralized product lines allow us to offer technologies that can quickly deploy at the site and reduce upfront capital costs.

Q: When we reach BlueTech Forum 2032, where do you expect the industry to be?  

A: I expect the conversation to evolve to be about best practices to maintain sustainability metrics rather than reaching goals for the first time. 

Digital innovation will be key to reaching these goals, and I expect that the focus will only increase. BlueTech Forum does a great job of showcasing emerging technologies and fostering collaboration around them, so I expect that these technologies would be positioning artificial intelligence and machine learning at their core for sustainable plant operations.

The water industry continues to learn from customers every day. Their needs are constantly changing, and our solutions will adapt to meet those demands with sustainability always on our mind.
