Environmental issues, health and safety concerns, metallurgical
constraints, performance requirements and cost controls
combine to make today's water treatment problems unique
and site-specific. Apparently identical facilities may
require different approaches to water management, and
root cause failure analyses may show visually similar
failures to have different origins and require different
solutions.
In this complex world, there is no substitute for
knowledge and experience. Our personnel are all
professional degreed chemists and engineers, with
an average of over 40 years of technical training
and hands-on working experience with industrial
and commercial water systems.

Our
Operating Philosophy
We
work cooperatively with vendors, engineers and management
to develop and maintain technically-sound, cost-effective
water system operations. We define the root cause(s)
of failures and develop solutions to help prevent
these and similar failures from recurring. We believe
in performance-oriented goals and specifications,
and we expect a sense of ownership and responsibility
from both vendors and site personnel involved in
water systems operations.
