We empower businesses to Reclaim Waste™.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower businesses to Reclaim Waste™. We use cutting-edge filtration solutions to convert organic wastes, such as manure, digestate, food & beverage manufacturing wastes, and other high strength wastewaters, into clean water, concentrated co-products, and when possible, renewable energy.
We also help businesses streamline manufacturing processes to reduce waste generation in the first place. Through customized filtration solutions, we can create conventional products with less waste or new products made possible by unique membrane separations.
Our Principles
We are a dedicated group of professionals that strive to engineer, manufacture, and implement cost-effective waste management solutions that exceed our customer’s expectations.
We aim to always be good listeners and understand your unique situation, concerns, and opportunities. We believe there is no one-size-fits-all solution and will work with you to develop a solution best suited to your facility.
Areas of Specialization
We specialize in filtering and treating high solids wastewaters and process streams to help our customers reduce wastewater disposal costs, reclaim clean water for reuse, and produce valuable co-products. We also deploy our filtration technology to help companies manufacturing clarified or concentrated food and beverage products. We are dedicated to providing products and services that holistically address our customers needs and exceed their expectations.
