AcquaPro Worldwide Inc, developer of mobile, modular systems of large-scale water desalination, is expanding its services globally, its CEO Frank Yacenda has said.
The company recently announced new marketing representatives in Saudi Arabia, Yemen and India.
“AcquaPro is poised on the edge of a massive expansion of its activities worldwide, and these markets, representing the core of the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and South Asia regions, show rapidly growing demand for new water resources. Seawater desalination is the most readily available source for that water,” said Yacenda.
The company considers Saudi Arabia, Yemen and India as significant areas for expansion of AcquaPro’s marketing activities. Growing demand for water in these markets presents significant opportunities for the company’s highly flexible desalination systems and approach, it said.
The AcquaPro system has been configured as a mobile, modular system that can be mounted on a barge, a ship, or on land. Using the economical, reliable reverse osmosis process, the system has been designed for maximum speed of installation, flexibility, and economy.
“We feel confident we have selected excellent individuals to represent us in these three markets,” Yacenda said. “We believe our people in large measure make the company, embodying the highest standards of business and personal ethics and commitment to client service.”
Tender competition
AcquaPro’s system proposal was selected in a tender competition to provide 75,000 cu m (approximately 20 million gallons) of water daily to the Saudi utility Marafiq at its Jubail industrial facility on the Arabian Gulf, demonstrating the system’s viability. The company has been asked to present proposals in markets as diverse as Argentina, Chile, California, Cyprus, India, Mississippi, and the Philippines, as well as elsewhere in Saudi Arabia, and is actively pursuing projects on all six populated continents.
Along with seawater desalination, the AcquaPro system can be adapted to desalinate surface and subterranean deposits of terrestrial saline and brackish water, and the company is entering into a cooperation that will enable it to offer wastewater treatment employing its mobile, modular approach.
Yacenda said: “We have developed the concept of Global Redundant Multi-Sourcing, or GRM, which enables us to assemble a plant and provide water in time frames no competitor can match. This is one of our key marketing propositions. We also are on the cutting edge of developing alternative power sources to drive our plants and achieve ever-greater efficiencies.”
AcquaPro Worldwide Inc is headquartered at 280 rue Petit Bois, Biloxi, Mississippi, USA.
