Vacon and Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies sign a global supply agreement
The Finland-based AC drives manufacturer Vacon has signed a global supply agreement with Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies (VWS), the world leader in water treatment, headquartered in France. VWS has chosen Vacon as their preferred AC drives supplier.
“The world's decreasing supply of clean, fresh water is making water treatment a major business. Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies has more than 70 years of experience in providing complete water solutions for municipalities and industries worldwide in more than 50 countries, and we are very pleased to start a global cooperation with Veolia. Together we are even stronger, as Vacon has an extensive global presence and a wide range of applications designed especially for water segment needs,” says Heikki Hiltunen, Executive Vice President, Vacon.
“Vacon is a genuine AC drives supplier, since AC drives are the only business Vacon concentrates on. We received a good proposition and understood that Vacon is a proactive company with a dedication to serve their customers. These are the reasons why we have chosen Vacon as our preferred AC drives supplier,” says Ronald H.M.C Sol, Strategic Purchasing Director, Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies.
By enabling stepless speed control of pumps, mixers, blowers and chemical dosing in an optimum way, Vacon AC drives can substantially improve the quality and efficiency in all areas of water treatment and distribution. The use of the Vacon AC drives for flow and pressure control instead of dampers or valves allows substantial energy savings to be achieved, resulting in the short payback time of the initial investment.
