Legacy Mercury Cleanup

We helped a private research university save more than $100k by expediting their legacy mercury cleanup process, allowing them to relocate to a leased space more quickly.
Troubleshooting pH neutralization equipment

pH Neutralization System Retrofit to Control Odor

We helped a private research university eliminate pH Neutralization System odor by replacing the cover and mixer on the existing tank with gas tight components, all while minimizing shutdown to 8 hours.

Pure Water System Sanitization & Ultrafilter Update

We helped a technical design & engineering university remove bacteria from their pure water system by updating the ultrafilter and increasing the UV power.
Custom PH System

GMP Facility Wastewater Treatment System Upgrade

We helped a multinational biopharmaceutical company identify a code violation in their system and re-engineered the entire system while it was at full operation.

Milli Q Unit Replacement

We helped an agricultural technology company cut its pure water budget by 50% and reduce ongoing operating costs by designing and installing a central water system to replace Milli Q units.

Steam Effluent Decontamination System Evaluation

We helped a biomedical and genomic research center identify significant safety issues in their Steam Effluent Decontamination System and designed a new, safer solution.

Wastewater Treatment System Equipment Upgrade Using Parallel Systems

We helped a global biotech company avoid downtime and increase throughput by developing a detailed design and plan for a parallel system that would eventually replace their aging equipment.
