Process, Filtration & Flow Systems
Process, filtration, and flow systems are essential to how industrial facilities in the U.S. manage the movement, treatment, and quality of gases and fluids in manufacturing and production environments. These systems ensure that liquids and gases are delivered, controlled, filtered, and directed with precision — protecting equipment, improving product quality, and supporting regulatory and environmental compliance across multiple industries.
Across sectors such as chemicals, industrial gases, food & beverage, water treatment, and energy generation, process and flow solutions integrate complex pumps, valves, compressors, filtration media, and control technologies to keep fluid, gas, and slurry streams within design specifications. Filtration protects downstream systems and product integrity, while flow systems control pressure, volume, direction, and temperature — a combination that directly influences operational efficiency and reliability.
