About Us

Continuing the legacy of the firm’s founder, Dr. Arthur J. Freedman, Ph.D., our team of industry experts has been offering clients over a century of combined experience in Water Treatment, Water Safety and Water Management consulting.

In this complex industry, expert knowledge and solutions are needed more than ever. Water treatment problems are unique and site-specific, so much so that identical facilities may require different approaches to water management. Even more complicated, through root cause analysis, failures may show visually similar features, yet have different origins and require different solutions.

AFA consultants also understand the many elements that impact the most difficult situations with environmental issues, health and safety regulations, performance requirements, metallurgical constraints and cost controls. Our consultants average over 40 years each of technical training and hands-on field experience with industrial, commercial and public water systems.

Industries and segments served include High-Rise Buildings; Healthcare, Education and other institutions; Food and other Process Manufacturing; Oil & Gas; Municipal Water & Wastewater; Power Generation; Data Centers, Semiconductor; and many more.

We are independent from any chemical or water treatment suppliers, and only use the services of outside laboratories. You can be assured our advice to you is not biased in any way.

Our Operating Philosophy

  • We work cooperatively with vendors, engineers and management to develop and maintain technically-sound, cost-effective water system operations.
  • We help determine the root cause(s) of failures and develop solutions to help prevent those and similar failures from recurring.
  • We believe in performance-oriented goals and specifications, which are successful when both vendors and site personnel take ownership and responsibility for properly maintaining systems.
  • AFA consultants are defined by our independent and unbiased analysis and recommendations, and by maintaining the highest standards of integrity.
