Water & Wastewater Treatment Process Expertise
About Us
BluCoast Water Solutions works with a core team of water and wastewater experts with decades of experience working in North America, South America and the Caribbean. We have kept at the forefront of the development and application of advanced membrane systems and biological processes in order to meet the needs of a wide range of clients. Our sector experience ranges from private real-estate development to complex industrial facilities. Our services range from concept design through operations support and troubleshooting.
​
As consultants, we recognize that the procurement process for small, decentralized systems does not support the conventional Design-Bid-Build model typically used in the U.S. municipal market - the engineering costs alone can exceed the cost of a small plant. And while there are many pre-engineered systems, we often see them fail due to improper sizing or because they are simply the wrong technology for the application.
​
To address this challenge, we take an "application" centric approach that allows us to apply the solution that best meets our customers’ needs. We work with you to select the best technology for your application and then assist you in identifying and procuring qualified suppliers, contractors and integrators to execute your project.
​
We strive to continuously lower the economic and environmental cost of water and wastewater treatment through smart design and advanced technologies.
