MCMURRAY, PA--(Marketwired - November 09, 2017) - HydroEdge Solutions, a privately held leading turnkey water solutions provider to the U.S. energy marketplace, today announced that it has completed an $8 million round of debt financing with an independent, third party lender.

HydroEdge is on track to increase its 2017 revenue 67 percent to approximately $13.2 million with $2.7 million in EBITDA.
