Hydroflux Group opens Fiji offices

Australian wastewater treatment company the Hydroflux Group has announced its expansion into the Pacific Islands, just eight months after establishing a major presence in the UK in order to participate in European wastewater and water re-use projects.

“With five major wastewater projects currently under construction by Hydroflux in the Pacific region, the growing demand for our advanced water and wastewater solutions in the Pacific Islands is what led us to establish an office in Fiji from which we will service the needs of customers in the region,” said Hydroflux CEO Adrian Minshull.

“In addition, having a presence in Fiji will enable Hydroflux to provide support and expertise to sustainable water and wastewater initiatives in the Pacific Islands.”

Minshull said one of the key benefits of Hydroflux having an office in Fiji is that the company will be able to offer a one-stop shop to existing and new customers in the region. He noted, “The Hydroflux Group is able to offer a complete portfolio of water treatment technologies for the municipal, industrial and mining sectors under the recently launched Hydroflux Epco brand.

“Hydroflux Epco’s expertise encompasses over 1000 references throughout Australia, Asia Pacific, Middle East and the United Kingdom, dating back to 1961. The company also has longstanding relationships with global leaders such as HUBER Technology, Aerostrip and Organica.

“The Hydroflux Group’s offerings will also include Hydroflux Industrial, which specialises in designing, constructing and delivering wastewater solutions in the meat processing, dairy, general food processing, fish processing, beverage, manufacturing, energy and construction industries.

“Hydroflux Industrial also has extensive experience in handling and dewatering sludge from clarifiers, dissolved air flotation (DAF) systems and biological processes, as well as energy recovery from these by-products.”

Hydroflux has already played a key role in a number of major projects in the region, among them the provision of a wastewater treatment plant at the award-winning Musket Cove Island Resort, located in the remote Malolo Lailai. Several more packaged sewage treatment plants are under construction for major resorts in Liku Liku, Malolo and Matamanoa in the Fijian Mamanuca group of islands, treating wastewater to a standard suitable for re-use in irrigation.

Hydroflux Industrial is also currently constructing a $2.5 million primary/secondary wastewater treatment plant for a multinational food and beverage company. The plant has been designed to treat high-strength industrial wastewater so that the discharge complies with Fiji’s National Liquid Waste Management Strategy.

The Hydroflux Pacific offices are located in Suva, Fiji. The full range of product and service options available in the Pacific can be found at the company website: www.hydroflux.com.fj.
