Fluence Procures First Aspiral™ Contracts With Partner ITEST In China

• First 2 contracts received under existing partnership agreement
• 35 Aspiral™ units to be deployed across 13 sites
• Plants will treat wastewater at toll stations, parking lots and service areas across Hubei Province

Fluence Corporation Limited is pleased to announce that it has signed its first two contracts under its previously announced partnership agreement with ITEST to supply Aspiral™ Smart Packaged wastewater treatment plants along the highway system under ITEST’s scope.

Fluence will supply Aspiral™ Smart Packaged wastewater treatment plants for 13 sites pursuant to these initial contracts. A total of 35 Aspiral™ units (thirty (30) L4 models and five (5) S1 models) will be deployed to handle the varied capacity requirements at the individual sites. This will be Fluence’s first sale of the S1 type, a small-scale Aspiral™ model.

The 20-foot S1 units will each be used to treat up to 75 m3/day of wastewater at five separate toll stations in Honghu and Huangshi City. The 40-foot L4 units, which can treat up to 200 m3/day, will be distributed among 2 parking areas and 3 service areas along the highway in Honghu and Huangshi and 7 service areas along the Hangrui and Huyu highways.

Fluence announced its strategic partnership agreement with ITEST in October 2018. Pursuant to the agreement, ITEST intends to promote and implement further Aspiral™ wastewater treatment solutions for its Highway Service Centers in Hubei Province, with annual targets over the next three years.

Fluence Managing Director and CEO Henry Charrabé said: “These orders are a promising start and confirm our initial volume expectations under our partnership agreement with ITEST. As the Aspiral™ Smart Packaged plants continue to deliver consistent, high-quality wastewater treatment for this partner, Fluence amasses important reference sites for this application. We remain very optimistic about the future prospects of this mutually beneficial agreement with ITEST.”
