Type: Partnership · Technology: Water Waste · Country: Poland · Announced: 2026-08-05
KGAL Industries and fluvicon signed a partnership to create a water‑treatment‑as‑a‑service platform that will be rolled out across Europe. The first plant will serve the Polish subsidiary of a global nutrition group under a 12‑year contract, converting fermentation waste into clean water and a reusable biological residue. The platform uses fluvicon's forward‑osmosis technology, which reduces energy use and fouling compared with conventional reverse osmosis.

The collaboration aims to build an institutional infrastructure asset class backed by long‑term contracts and strong EU regulatory support.
