Synergies between De Nora and ISIA will provide chlorine dioxide process systems for water treatment
Grundfos and De Nora has announced the parties have sealed an agreement for the latter to acquire 100% of the shares of ISIA, including the intellectual property on chlorine dioxide generator technology. As part of the agreement, De Nora will also take over the competencies of ISIA’s team of specialists.
