Envirogen Technologies, Inc. Formed
The Amplio Group (London, United Kingdom) recently announced the formation of Envirogen Technologies, Inc., a technology+services solutions provider with existing business in municipal and industrial water and environmental treatment applications. Envirogen Technologies, Inc. has been formed from the assets of Basin Water, Inc. that were recently purchased by Amplio. The new Envirogen Technologies, Inc. will offer a broad but targeted range of technologies, supported by operating service options for a number of environmental treatment applications, including potable water treatment, groundwater remediation, process water treatment, wastewater treatment, odor control and more. One of the distinguishing characteristics of Envirogen Technologies is its business model, which focuses on ‘lifecycle performance' – providing guaranteed, pay-for-performance, long-term contracts at predictable costs, offering customers the lowest total cost over the lifetime of an equipment installation. The company is headquartered in Kingwood, TX (near Houston) with regional offices in Southern California, Illinois, New Jersey and Tennessee.
According to Michael M. Stark, President & CEO of Envirogen Technologies, in the past, environmental and process engineering projects have focused heavily on the ‘design and build' phase and not enough on the long-term operating requirements and costs. "At Envirogen Technologies, we understand that by far the most important – and expensive – part of a treatment system installation is its 10- to 20-year operating cost. If the long-term operating costs of a system are not properly considered with the invested capital, then the municipality or company acquiring the system does not achieve the financial performance or efficiency it thought it was paying for. If careful consideration isn't given to operations and maintenance up front, long-term costs will be too high. When you look at projects from a ‘lifecycle performance' perspective, you have the ability to balance initial design and build costs with the operating costs and to develop predictability, which provides both reliability in performance and optimization of the investment," he said. "At Envirogen Technologies, when we undertake a drinking water, environmental or process improvement treatment solution for a customer, we stand ready to provide the services and the expertise that will back up our system designs with guaranteed performance and guaranteed costs over the lifetime of the project. These aren't ‘one-size-fits-all' solutions. They are flexible solutions that can be developed to fit the specific treatment application, the operational capabilities of our customers, and their budgeting and financing processes. We like to say that the ‘build and drop' approach to environmental installations is the past, and that ‘build and perform' is the future," he added.
Broad Technology Portfolio Meets Needs of the Market
A fundamental part of Envirogen Technologies' offering to the marketplace is its broad, but targeted technology portfolio. This includes a strong position in high efficiency ion exchange and the use of a variety of absorptive media that are adaptable to different types of organic and inorganic contaminants and process requirements. Envirogen Technologies also has a strong biological treatment platform with both modular and built-in place systems for highly cost-effective treatment in a range of applications, including odor control, nutrient removal, water re-use, wastewater and groundwater. Other contaminant destruction technologies include coagulation filtration, chemical purification and advanced oxidation. Envirogen Technologies' offerings are often modular in design, for ease of installation and rapid start-up. The company also provides built-in-place systems as well as mobile treatment and media regeneration services.
Primary applications for Envirogen Technologies' systems include treatment of groundwater for the delivery of high-quality potable water, groundwater remediation, wastewater treatment, water re-use, nutrient removal, and odor and VOC control for municipal and industrial markets. In the industrial markets such as mining, hydrocarbon processing and chemical processing, Envirogen Technologies also specializes in process water treatment, byproduct recovery and chemical purification.
According to Stark, the technology and business model of Envirogen Technologies are made successful by an experienced and committed team in place, many of whom have worked with major environmental treatment firms in previous postings. "Any time you are working with tailored solutions that require flexibility and creativity, it is important to have a team that is both experienced and dedicated to the mission of your organization. At Envirogen Technologies, we have what we believe are some of the most talented people in the environmental solutions field, with an experience base that stretches back as far as 40 years and includes literally thousands of environmental and drinking water installations. I think our customers can feel confident that they are getting cutting-edge concepts that will be backed by consistent execution," he said. "Beyond the experience, however, is our top-to-bottom commitment at Envirogen Technologies to providing solutions that work for the lifetime of our installations. Our new company tagline – "A Lifecycle Performance Company" – is designed to be a reminder for our customers and our employees of how we are different than other companies in our field and what we believe is our most important offering to the marketplace," he added.
