Case Studies |
Arbortech Corporation (AC) first opened its doors in 1981, essentially to represent oil/water separation products manufactured by a company in the southeast US, from which AC’s founder had departed to begin this new venture. Appointing himself as its independent north-central Midwest sales arm; leaving his position as its National Sales Manager to satisfy a family desire to return to their home region, he enjoyed early success and added product lines and personnel to support the endeavor.
Arbortech’s focal point in its early years was system/component sales of equipment manufactured by others, but, as the company transitioned from tackling end-of-pipe wastewater treatment projects to evaluating recycling applications, a niche opportunity became obvious – one with no “plug and play” technology to satisfy it. Cleaning chemistries – those used in parts’ washers, floor scrubbers, pressure sprayers, pre-painting, pre-powdercoating, pre-plating wash tanks, etc., were perceived as waste streams, often being hauled away because of operating parameters that far exceeded what could be tolerated by existing reclamation systems.
Beginning with custom modifications to units built elsewhere, by 1992 AC was manufacturing its own equipment to reclaim aqueous cleaners. Then, as the new millennium approached, the company’s ongoing field prototype work for its breakthrough Washer Washers (equipment where extreme operating temperature and/or pH no longer preclude recycling) concluded, achieving 100% success... and the Illinois Governor’s Pollution Prevention Award for Manufacturers to boot.
The rest, as they say, is history. Each passing month reveals further process refinements and records more triumphs, wherever Arbortech Corporation’s Washer Washers are demonstrated, pilot tested and installed. Now that you know the technology exists, are you ready to save money on your water-based cleaning operations?
