Evoqua Water Technologies acquires Texas-based water business

Evoqua Water Technologies has acquired Ultrapure & Industrial Services’ industrial water business for an undisclosed amount.

Ultrapure & Industrial Services is a subsidiary of Driessen Water and is based in Houston and Dallas, Texas.

The deal is expected to boost the service capabilities of Evoqua in the markets of Houston and Dallas and the surrounding regions.

The operations in Texas focus on water purification services and equipment and serve the healthcare, laboratory, power, microelectronics, food and beverage, oil and gas, commercial, and manufacturing markets.

The company offers different water treatment products and services such as service deionization, reverse osmosis, UV, and ozonation.

Evoqua CEO Ron Keating said: “For over 20 years, Ultrapure’s industrial operations has built a reputation as a trusted partner, providing reliable water solutions and services to their broad customer portfolio.

“We are delighted to welcome the Houston and Dallas Ultrapure team to the Evoqua family.”

Last month, Ovivo, a provider of water and wastewater treatment equipment, technology and systems, acquired the businesses of ALAR, which consists of Alar Chemical Sales, Alar Engineering Corporation and Alar Leasing.

ALAR, a direct manufacturer of wastewater treatment systems, is based in Mokena, Illinois.

In a separate development, Ardurra Group acquired Florida based engineering consulting firm Pigeon-Roberts & Associates (Pigeon) for an undisclosed sum.

The acquired firm primarily caters to regional agencies with operations on the water and wastewater markets. With this deal, Ardurra Group seeks to bolster its footprint in Florida’s water market.
