Custom Commercial Systems

Custom-engineered water systems, sized to your operation

Every commercial and industrial application is different — different water, different flow rates, different facility constraints. We specialize in custom-fit systems engineered around the specifics of your operation, not pulled off a shelf. From first call to commissioning, you work with one team that owns the whole project.

35 years of commercial distribution expertise behind every recommendation, paired with US-manufactured systems built to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards.

1

Application Assessment

We review your source water, flow needs, and facility constraints to scope the right system.

2

Custom Engineering

We design and specify the system around your application — drawings, specs, and a formal submittal package.

3

Procurement & Logistics

We manage revisions, production timelines, and freight — start to finish.

How Ultrafiltration Works

Multi-stage filtration, down to 0.02 microns

Water passes through a series of filtration steps, ending in a hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membrane that removes contaminants by size. The result is consistent, high-quality water without traditional media filtration.

Choosing the Right Technology

Ultrafiltration vs. Reverse Osmosis

Both use membranes and pressure — but they solve different problems. Not sure which you need? That’s what the specialist call is for.

Ultrafiltration (UF/NF)

  • Removes particulates, bacteria, and turbidity; significantly reduces viruses
  • Keeps dissolved minerals and salts
  • No chemical coagulants required for feed water
  • Lower energy, minimal wastewater
  • High flow rates, compact footprint
Best for: microbial & turbidity removal, pre-treatment, surface/ground water, food & beverage process water

Reverse Osmosis (RO)

  • Removes dissolved solids, salts, minerals
  • Tightest filtration — down to ionic level
  • Often needs pre-treatment (UF can feed it)
  • Higher energy, produces reject water
  • Required for desalination & demineralization
Best for: high TDS, brackish/seawater, demineralized water, scale-sensitive processes
Applications

Built Around Your Application

From small process lines to high-capacity systems, UF configurations are developed based on your water quality, demand, and operational requirements.

Food & Beverage

Process & ingredient water — removes microbes while preserving flavor.

Breweries & Distilleries

Consistent water profile; protects equipment from biofouling.

Bottled Water

Removes microbial contamination — pairs with disinfection for production-volume bottling.

Cooling Towers

Pre-treats make-up water to prevent scaling, fouling, and corrosion.

Pharmaceutical

Process & feed water for non-critical pharmaceutical applications; reduces microbial load.

Power Generation

Boiler feedwater pre-treatment to stop scaling and corrosion.

Semiconductor & Electronics

Pre-treatment in the production of ultra-pure water for semiconductor and electronics applications.

Wastewater Reuse

Removes fine solids & pathogens to reclaim water before disinfection.

System Capacity Reference

Sized to your daily demand

Capacity depends on your source water. The same system produces more from groundwater than from seawater. A specialist confirms the right model for your flow and feed.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What’s the difference between ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis?
UF removes particles, bacteria, and turbidity by physical size (down to 0.02 microns) and significantly reduces viruses, while leaving dissolved minerals and salts in the water. RO goes further, removing dissolved solids and salts at the ionic level — but it uses more energy and produces reject water. UF is often used as pre-treatment ahead of RO. If you’re not sure which you need, a specialist will help you decide.
What capacity (GPD) do I need?
It depends on your peak daily demand and your source water — the same system produces far more from groundwater than from seawater. Systems range from 10,000 to 400,000+ gallons per day. Share your flow needs and water source on the quote form and we’ll size it for you.
How long does it take to get a system?
Lead times vary by model and configuration. After we understand your application, your specialist will confirm current lead times in your quote.
Do you help with installation and engineering?
These are engineered systems, not plug-and-play. We help you spec the right configuration and connect you with the support resources to plan installation. Tell us about your site and we’ll guide the next steps.
Do I need a water test first?
A recent water test makes sizing far more accurate, but it’s not required to start. If you’re on city water, the municipal water-quality report usually works. No test yet? We can still begin the conversation.
Why isn’t pricing shown on the site?
Every commercial UF system is quoted to your specific application, source water, and capacity — there’s no one-size price. Submit the form or call and you’ll get real options for your situation.
