How to Remove Oils & Soils from Industrial Wastewater and Recycle Aqueous Cleaning Solutions

​Arbortech makes equipment that enables industry to reuse and recycle their water-based cleaning chemistries instead of disposing them and making them up fresh. Saves them money, improves their product quality and saves our planet's consumption of water, energy and labor, plus minimizes the necessity to create and then have to figure out what to do with more and more and more theoretically spent cleaning solutions. Our focus is a confirmation of the following nugget I have used in biz settings when it becomes known that a former full-time and current part-time gig of mine was/is the New Colony Six. To wit, "Once a hippie tree hugger, always one..."

The company name, Arbortech, was formed from the first names of my immediate family as it was in 1981 and had enough of an ecological/environmental feel to be a keeper. Originally planned to be Arbor Marketing, Inc., someone suggested this lacked any reference to technical skills, hence Arbor Technical, and then that became Arbortech. To convey a larger-than-what-existed presence, the final selection was the Arbortech Corporation. We began selling equipment to treat industrial wastewater and recycle solutions wherever that could be achieved.
