Application Assessment & Feasibility
Independent review of your water challenge — contaminants, flow regime, regulatory targets, and economic envelope — leading to a defensible technology selection.
Consulting Division — A WFS Company
Water Filtration Consultants (WFC)
WFC is the consulting and capability-building entity under Water Filtration Solutions. Where WFS designs, fabricates, and operates equipment, WFC advises owners, operators, and investors — from a single application study to building an entire water-treatment company from the ground up. The two entities operate independently so clients can engage WFC for objective advice without any equipment-sales obligation.
What We Do
A Full Spectrum of Consulting Services
WFC engagements span the entire lifecycle of a water-treatment program — from the first characterization sample to running a fully-staffed operations department or commissioning an entire greenfield company.
Water Characterization & Lab Analysis
Sampling, jar testing, bench-scale treatability, and full chemistry workups (TSS, O&G, TOC, COD, BOD, TDS, ammonia, sulfides, heavy metals, VOC/S-VOC) to underpin process design.
R&D Team Optimization
Audit and re-tool existing R&D groups: stage-gate process, lab capability gaps, KPIs, IP strategy, and partnerships with universities and OEMs.
Product Development
End-to-end leadership from concept through prototype, pilot, field trial, and commercial launch — including BOM, costing, manufacturability, and certification roadmap.
Operations Department Setup & Management
Design and run operations teams: SOPs, HSE, maintenance regimes, spares strategy, SCADA/data, KPI dashboards, and 24/7 field support models.
Technical Manpower Training
Structured training for process, operations, chemical, mechanical, and environmental engineers — classroom, simulator, and hands-on commissioning rotations.
Company Setup & Build-from-Scratch
Greenfield org design: legal entity, engineering disciplines, supply chain, fabrication footprint, QA/QMS, sales channels, and go-to-market for water-treatment ventures.
Embedded Fractional Leadership
Senior WFC consultants step in as fractional VP-Engineering, VP-Operations, or CTO until your permanent team is hired, trained, and producing.
How We Engage
Three Ways to Work with WFC
Short-Term Advisory
2–12 week scoped engagements: technology selection, due diligence, expert testimony, audit, or a focused R&D unblocking sprint.
Embedded Fractional Team
Multi-quarter engagements where WFC personnel sit inside your organization — leading projects, mentoring staff, and transferring capability.
Full Build-Out
Multi-year mandates to build a water-treatment division or company from the ground up — people, process, plant, and product line.
Disciplines Covered
Cross-Disciplinary Engineering Bench
WFC consultants are senior practitioners in chemical, process, mechanical, environmental, instrumentation, and operations engineering — many with 20+ years building, running, and optimizing water-treatment facilities across oil & gas, refining, petrochemicals, power, and municipal sectors.

Independence by Design
WFC is structured as a separate entity from WFS so that recommendations are never constrained by an equipment-sales obligation. Clients can engage WFC for unbiased feasibility, due-diligence, or expert-witness work — and remain free to procure equipment from any supplier, including WFS, on competitive terms.
