What Wastech Controls & Engineering does

Wastech Controls & Engineering, Inc. is a Chatsworth, California–based manufacturer founded in August 1987 that designs and builds custom automated process equipment for industrial wastewater treatment and chemical handling. Its product portfolio centers on pH neutralization and adjustment systems — including the LabDELTA™ line for laboratory waste, the ProDELTA™ line for industrial flows up to 400 gpm, and the OMEGA™ family of acid waste neutralization packages (10–500 gpm) — supported by pump lift stations, chemical and solvent collection/dispense systems, fluoride and heavy-metal removal skids, BioDELTA™ biowaste inactivation systems, process chilled water skids, and custom polypropylene fabrication. Control architecture is built on proprietary PLC-based software (Zeus™ and XENO™) and the SkidLink remote monitoring platform, with UL-listed, CSIA-certified control panel fabrication in-house. The company serves Fortune 500 customers across pharmaceutical and biotechnology, semiconductor, solar, food and beverage, aerospace and metal plating, and university/national research laboratory end markets, primarily in the United States.

The business runs an enterprise field-sales motion in which application engineers consult with customers on facility-specific requirements and deliver custom quotations; no standard price list is published. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment sales of custom engineered systems (with engineering services bundled) and secondarily through technical service and support contracts covering installation supervision, startup, training, remote monitoring, and preventative maintenance. Distribution is direct, with a national representative network supporting U.S. coverage. In 2025 the company was acquired by Ovivo, a global water treatment platform, and continues to operate under the Wastech brand with the same management and leadership; Wastech Systems, LLC is the operating entity. The company's value proposition rests on single-source turnkey delivery (mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering integrated), factory pre-tested skid-mounted systems that reduce on-site installation cost, and fail-safe pH monitoring designed to prevent regulatory notices of violation.
