Research & Development of Future Water and Wastewater Products

May 12, 2009 - Parkson Corporation, as part of its leadership role in the water and wastewater industry, proudly announces the opening of the Parkson Water Research Facility. This new facility provides for the piloting of water and wastewater technologies and includes an on-site laboratory, which is designed to speed the evaluation of process-effectiveness testing. The on-site laboratory also supports product design and development activities, as well as, management of necessary maintenance for installed pilot units.

The primary objective of the new Parkson WRF is to facilitate water related research and to accelerate the development of new water and wastewater technologies. In addition, the facility will investigate and enhance value-engineering improvements to existing Parkson products on an ongoing basis.

The Parkson Water Research Facility will play an important role in the value-engineering and training goals of the Parkson Corporation and directly benefit Parkson customers well into the future,” explained Robert Jeyaseelan, Director of Global Innovation & Technology for Parkson Corporation, during recent inauguration ceremonies.

Several pilots of Parkson products are installed at the facility and provide a hands-on training platform for both internal and external clients. The facility is especially useful as a small-scale operational training facility for new users with specific product training needs.

According to Zain Mahmood, President and CEO of Parkson Corporation, “Our investment in the Parkson Water Research Facility underscores our long-standing commitment to Parkson customers and our ability to deliver unique solutions to the emerging needs of our customers: energy efficiency and ease of operation. Parkson will continue future investments in innovative technologies that will help our customers meet both regulatory needs and improve efficiency in their treatment facilities”.
