New technology and more installs boosts water savings by 135 million litres a day over last year Southampton firm improving network resilience and efficiency for 66 utilities around world.

Southampton, UK, 7 October 2014: i2O Water, the Smart Pressure Management technology company, has been named among the world’s top 100 private companies working in clean technology after it more than doubled the amount of water it saves utility companies over the last year.

Its technology is currently helping to save over 235 million litres of water every day, up from 100 million litres a day a year ago.

Cleantech Group, a market intelligence and consulting firm, analysed the activities of more than 11,000 businesses around the world to compile its prestigious 2014 Global Cleantech list of privately held clean technology businesses it believes will make the most significant market impact over the next 10 years.

Included in the list for the third year running, i2O Water has seen demand for its Smart Pressure Management technology – which analyses and adjusts water pressure to reduce leakage and improve the resilience and efficiency of water distribution networks – continue to grow.

It has now installed more than 1,900 systems for 66 water utilities in 22 countries worldwide, including many of the world’s driest and most challenging environments where water scarcity and intense heat make conserving water and improving the resilience of supply a life-saving necessity. 54 of its clients are located outside the UK.

Adam Kingdon, co-founder of i2O Water, comments: “It is fantastic to be named amongst the world’s more dynamic clean technology firms once again. Over the last year we’ve introduced improved technology, grown our installed base and more than doubled the amount of water saved. With providers striving to achieve truly smart water networks and wrestling with issues such as population growth, urbanisation and greater economic activity in areas where supply is already limited, there is major role for us to play improving network resilience and driving environmental and efficiency improvements around the world.”
