Industrial pumping solutions provider Industrial Flow Solutions, headquartered in New Haven, Conn., USA, has agreed to acquire Clearwater Controls Ltd, based in Glasgow, Scotland.
Clearwater Controls offers a broad line of wastewater solutions, beginning with its deragging intelligent systems to solve specific pumping problems, to more advanced monitoring technology to optimise and manage entire water networks. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Clearwater Controls will retain its company name and brand.
Clearwater Controls is known worldwide for the DERAGGER™+ line of intelligent deragging control systems. The company is bringing the Internet of Things (IoT) to industry sectors with its newest innovation: cloud-based data analytics and management for improved monitoring of water networks.
Clearwater Controls’ solutions allow engineers and operators to analyse and create baseline data on the performance of their pump networks in real time to optimize operations, identify problems, perform money-saving predictive maintenance, and avoid potentially harmful and costly environmental impacts. These smart interventions will transform the industry from its historic reactive approach to a predictive asset management model.
Incorporating Clearwater Controls’ DERAGGER PRO pump station controller across its brands will bring intelligent efficiency to nearly all product lines of Industrial Flow Solutions, particularly the innovative OverWatch™ Direct In-Line Pumping System platform. Clearwater Controls’ complementary products and technology will provide greater value to customers seeking to reduce startup time, strengthen reliability and provide real-time cloud-based data.
President of Industrial Flow Solutions, John Wilson said: “As technology and smart data bring new changes to the water industry, this acquisition will establish Industrial Flow Solutions and Clearwater Controls as leaders in the new digital revolution. This new partnership supports our combined missions to transform any industry that relies on high usage of water and the need for treatment.“
