EasyMining and EPS Water have formalised their intention to collaborate on nitrogen recovery solutions in the United Kingdom and Ireland through the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI). The agreement focuses on the promotion and delivery of EasyMining’s Aqua2N technology, which is designed to remove and recover nitrogen from wastewater streams.
The LOI sets out a shared ambition to establish a long-term partnership aimed at supporting municipal and industrial wastewater treatment operators as regulatory requirements around nutrient management become more demanding. During the LOI period, EPS Water will act as EasyMining’s exclusive partner for representing and promoting the Aqua2N solution in the UK and Irish markets, subject to progress towards viable commercial projects.
By combining EasyMining’s process expertise with EPS Water’s local market knowledge and project delivery capabilities, the collaboration seeks to accelerate the adoption of circular approaches to nitrogen management. Aqua2N is positioned not only as a treatment technology, but also as a means of recovering valuable resources, aligning with wider sustainability and circular economy objectives in the water sector.
“This Letter of Intent marks an important step in expanding Aqua2N’s footprint in the UK and Ireland,” says John Svärd, EasyMining. “By partnering with EPS, we are joining forces with a highly capable local organization that understands the regional market, regulatory landscape, and delivery requirements. We see strong alignment in our ambition to offer sustainable, high-performance nitrogen recovery solutions.”
Under the proposed delivery model, EasyMining will remain responsible for the core process design and technology performance, while EPS Water will lead on local engineering, off-site construction, installation and commissioning activities.
Shaun Stevens, EPS Water, adds: “We are pleased to enter into this LOI with EasyMining and to explore the deployment of Aqua2N in the UK and Ireland. Nutrient management is a growing priority for our clients, and Aqua2N offers a compelling approach that goes beyond removal to enable true resource recovery.”
The two companies intend to work towards a binding partnership agreement within nine months, which would define commercial terms and long-term collaboration frameworks for future Aqua2N projects in the region.
