GE Invests in New Fluid Engineering Centre of Excellence to Research, Test & Develop Materials Solutions for Potable Water Industry
BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — May 18, 2005 — Developed nations take clean drinking water at the twist of a tap for granted, but in many areas of the world, potable water is scarce or non-existent. The critical demand for clean water – exacerbated by population expansion, environmental pollution, and deforestation, among other factors – is driving a new industry that is expected to spend more than $95 billion in capital outlays through 2015. To support this industry and help people around the world obtain a basic necessity, GE Advanced Materials has invested in a new Fluid Engineering Centre of Excellence here. The centre’s scientists and technologists are conducting research, development, and testing new materials solutions that can improve the provision of water resources around the world.
