Recent Developments in Water and Wastewater Treatment Equipment Market
- In Jul 2025, H2O America announced a $540?million acquisition of Quadvest, expanding utility operations into the Houston area. With over 50 water and 27 wastewater plants, the combined entities will become Texas's second-largest investor-owned utility. The acquisition includes plans to invest over $500 million over five years in infrastructure modernization, signaling a major consolidation engineering-controlled growth in the equipment and service segment.
- In May 2025, London's iconic £5?billion Thames Tideway Tunnel-known as the "Super Sewer"-completed its final commissioning in early 2025 and was officially opened by King Charles III on May?7. The fully connected works channel storm and sewage flows to Beckton treatment works, easing pollution and infrastructure strain in central London. It stands as one of Europe's largest wastewater infrastructure projects.
- In October 2024, the MLD (minimum liquid discharge) wastewater treatment plant at Da?Tang Industrial Park (Foshan, China) commenced operations, treating 160,000?m³/day for textile manufacturers using nanofiltration, RO, and electrodialysis. This large-scale industrial installation significantly reduces effluent volumes and enables water recycling within the textile sector-a major leap toward sustainable manufacturing.
