rowenvironmental

Our typical assignments start with a customer calling and saying, "We have been told we are going to have to spend millions of dollars to upgrade our treatment system to meet new limits we have been given.  We don't have millions of dollars.  What can we do?" 

rowenvironmental specializes in evaluating existing systems and applying operations expertise and equipment knowledge to upgrade the systems to meet customer needs at minimal costs.  For example, a poultry company in Alabama was told by others they would have to spend over $4,000,000 to upgrade their system.  rowenvironmental studied the system it recommended an upgrade option that cost less than $500,000 that successfully met the companies needs.

rowenvironmental has designed wastewater pretreatment and treatment system upgrades and new systems for over 50 plants.  Typical examples are:
