ABOUT

We are rooted in our history.

In the 19th century, we revolutionized clean water at the turn of a tap, saving countless lives during a deadly cholera outbreak. In the 20th century, we introduced some of the first sewage processing machinery of its kind. In the 21st century, we are among the first to bring Thermal Hydrolysis technology to U.S. soil. For two centuries we have established ourselves as trailblazers in water and wastewater technology and we will continue that legacy.
