Hach Becomes the First Global Nereda Certified Preferred Supplier

Loveland, CO – February 14, 2019 -- In October 2018, after rigorous testing and analysis at Epe Wastewater Treatment Facility in the Netherlands, Hach’s instrumentation and Prognosys^® predictive diagnostic system have been certified by Royal HaskoningDHV and approved for global use with the Nereda^® waste water treatment process. This makes Hach the first global Nereda supply partner to have their equipment certified for Nereda applications.

“This certification is an exciting evolution of our partnership with Royal HaskoningDHV that was solidified in 2017 when we signed a global agreement establishing Hach as a preferred supplier of online analytical instrumentation to test the quality of water treated with the Nereda technology,” said Kevin Klau, President at Hach.

“The Nereda technology has unique selling points in terms of its footprint, its energy efficiency, sustainability and ease of operation. The certification of Hach’s instrumentation represents the next stage in Nereda’s development.” Said René Noppeny, Global Director Water Technology Products & Innovation at Royal HaskoningDHV. “The certification demonstrates a significant step towards ensuring Hach’s instrumentation and analytics are reliable and easy-to-use solutions. We are very pleased that we can officially certify the instrumentation and strengthen our partnership with Hach even further.”

As a Nereda‐preferred supplier, Hach already delivers accurate and reliable analytics solutions supported by the innovative Prognosys predictive diagnostic system. Royal HaskoningDHV actively supports this process by providing technical know‐how, performance data and access to its Nereda development and innovation facilities. Prognosys Predictive Diagnostics is connected to Claros, Hach’s Water Intelligence System which enables customers to seamlessly connect and manage instruments, data, and process – anywhere, anytime. The result is greater confidence in data and improved efficiencies in operations.
