Thames Water cements technology partnership with Bluewater Bio

Thames Water and Bluewater Bio have struck a deal to share information on new and emerging technologies, the latter announced at the British Business Embassy today.

Under the alliance, the global water technology firm will have access to Thames Water’s research and development facilities to carry out trials.

Meanwhile, Thames will help Bluewater pick up new clients from among the water company’s commercial customers.

Rupert Kruger, head of innovation at Thames Water, said: “We’re looking forward to working alongside Bluewater Bio to find bigger and better ways to ensure we use water more wisely in our day-to-day processes. We will squeeze every drop of creativity from this alliance so we can in turn value every drop of our increasingly precious essential resource.”

The partnership is to focus on developing ways to reuse more water and wastewater, reduce energy and chemical consumption, carbon emissions and operational costs.

“This alliance with one of the world’s most respected utility companies formalises a strong technological relationship forged over the last four years around shared objectives and values,” said Daniel Ishag, CEO of Bluewater Bio.

“We look forward to cementing our collaboration, helping Thames deliver sustainable innovations to their 14 million customers and upholding the UK’s strong water sector credentials.”
