Company

Overview

Born in 1973

Year of founding

The company was established in 1973 in response to increasing demand for water treatment solutions after the U.S. Clean Water Act.

30-year legacy

Experience in the industry

The company has a long-standing reputation for providing reliable water treatment solutions, with a legacy stretching back decades.

It has grown into a global specialist headquartered in Salt Lake City, part of Swire Water and backed by ISO‑certified design, build and operations capabilities.
Their record spans temporary mobile systems rescuing plants in crisis to turnkey full‑plant EPC projects across mining, industrial, municipal and mineral sectors.
They engineer liquid/solids separation, biological treatment and granular filtration systems tailored for industrial, municipal, minerals and water reuse applications.
Their portfolio includes legacy products like packaged plants, clarifiers, DAF units, continuous backwash filters, and even dual‑membrane gas holders.
An unusual strength lies in rapid-response rental fleets: mobile units that can be deployed instantly during maintenance windows or emergencies.
Today their projects span continents—from coal‑ash pond dewatering to municipal upgrades—showing breadth in both scale and geography.

Integrity: Maintaining integrity in everything we do is central to our success.
Humility: We believe in the need to respect and learn from others.
