Innovative Smart Decentralized Wastewater Solution Wins Fluence Corporation (ASX:FLC) Another Contract for a Seafood Company in South America

Reinforcing Fluence’s leading position in the US$6.1B Food and Beverage
water and wastewater treatment market, the Company has been awarded a
US$1.7M contract by Irotop S.A., a leading fish processor in Ecuador

MELBOURNE, Australia & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fluence Corporation Limited (“Fluence” or the “Company”) today announced
that it has been awarded a US$1.7 million contract with Irotop S.A., a
leading Ecuadorian fish processing company, to purify wastewater from
its tuna and sardine processing and packing plants.

This success follows recent contracts won in Ecuador, Italy, Brazil and
Argentina and confirms Fluence’s leading position in delivering smart
decentralized wastewater solutions to customers in the international
food and beverage production market.

“Water and wastewater solutions in the global Food and Beverage market
are estimated at around US$6.1B, with this market growing at over 6%
annually1. Fluence has secured this mandate by leveraging its
experience with food companies internationally, such as Tadel S.A., The
Eurofish Group, and poultry companies in Italy and Brazil,” said Henry
Charrabé, Fluence’s Managing Director and CEO. ‘’Fluence has developed a
strong expertise in these wastewater treatment applications including
its innovative anaerobic digestion technology. We help our customer’s
operations become more sustainable by reducing their reliance on
external water, energy, and by recycling highly polluted effluents after
treatment. Our smart solutions also produce substantial anticipated cost
savings, resulting in a short pay back for our clients.’’

Processed fish is Ecuador’s fourth largest export segment, generating an
estimated US$896M each year. As Ecuador updates its current fisheries
and aquaculture law to meet international standards, local fish
processing companies are adopting sustainable technologies to ensure
they can contribute positively to the nation’s global, long-term trade
balance. These practices empower the fish processing and wastewater
treatment companies to comply with regulations, protect the local water
supply and shrink their operations’ ecological footprint.

In addition to the Irotop S.A. project award, the newly built Smart
Decentralized Wastewater Treatment plant by Fluence for Tadel S.A., a
fish rendering plant in Ecuador, was successfully commissioned last
month. This is the first wastewater reuse plant in the fish processing
industry in Ecuador, confirming Fluence’s position as an industry leader
for wastewater reuse applications internationally.
