Biomin International Inc., an Oak Park-based oil and water separation and filtration company, said last week it had signed an agreement with several individuals and companies to form Technofluids North America LLC, a subsidiary to promote international water treatment solutions on a “One-Stop Shop” basis.

The Biomin International subsidiary was formed to permit integration of several available technologies to provide a turn-key solution for waste water treatment processes currently being experienced throughout the world.

Companies and individuals signing the agreement include George Alther, president and founder of Biomin International Inc., Alberto Torini, president of Technofluids s.r.l. in Milan, Italy, Jack Cowan, President of Flo-Clean located in Lafayette, La., Ron Jaskey and Joseph P. Cool.

“Through Technofluids North America, unique equipment will be imported to SE Michigan for integration of the turn-key systems required for cleanup of oily waste water and produced water,” Alther said. “These turn-key systems will then be not only used in Michigan but also exported to projected markets in Brazil, the Middle East and the Far East.”

The goal of the subsidiary is to provide turn-key systems for waste water treatment involving both chemical and non-chemical water treatment equipment. The turn-key system involves the treatment of waste water as found naturally or produced by man-made impurities and produced water from existing oil wells with or without oil particles. The output of the waste water treatment system includes conventional drinking water and clean processed water for various purposes including industrial cleaning, factory/machine washing, agriculture and vehicle washing. Processes in the waste water treatment system include water wall, sediment filtration, ultraviolet, ion exchange and reverse osmosis.

Biomin International is consistently developing international contacts for synergistic markets dedicated to global waste water treatment processes. Joseph P. Cool, international business development and export director, said that “This agreement provides the consolidation of several technologies currently being used in the global marketplace for waste water treatment. I have no doubt the synergies contained in the new subsidiary will enable Technofluids North America to become a key player globally while providing increased involvement in southeast Michigan companies and organizations.”
