   APTwater Inc. (Long Beach, CA) and Rochem A.G. (Geneva, Switzerland) have merged to combine APTwater’s advanced water treatment technologies with Rochem’s membrane modules and integrated treatment systems. APTwater’s flagship offering is the HiPOX technology for treating contaminated groundwater, drinking water, and wastewater. The company has more recently added the PulseOx technology, an in situ chemical oxidation process used primarily for the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, and ARoNite, a membrane biofilm reactor-based technology for biological nutrient removal. The membranes deployed by Rochem are made by Sepro Membranes, Inc., a joint venture between Rochem AG and Japan’s Sojitz Corp. “Our new company brings together an exciting combination of proven solutions, innovations ready for market, and ideas under development,” says David Stanton, CEO of the newly combined companies. “With more of our clients looking to save capital by deploying our solutions through water-by-the-gallon contracts, we now can offer the full service solutions in Europe and North America.”
