What RODI Systems does

RODI Systems Corporation is a privately-held industrial water and wastewater treatment systems manufacturer founded in 1995 and headquartered in Aztec, New Mexico. The company designs and fabricates custom membrane-based treatment systems — including reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, electrodeionization (EDI), and silicon carbide ceramic microfiltration — packaged as skid-mounted units or self-contained systems housed in inter-modal shipping containers (PureBox product line). Its modular PureFlex platform combines pre-engineered treatment modules (media filtration, RO, chemical dosing, desalination) to deliver custom configurations at standardized pricing.

The company generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of engineered systems and supporting instrumentation, supplemented by professional services (feasibility studies, pilot testing, commissioning, operator training). Pricing is quote-based with a $300 minimum on standard monitors/controllers; international customers prepay via wire transfer while established domestic accounts may receive Net 30 terms. Distribution is direct via website, phone, and email; the company is also the authorized North American distributor of Cembrane silicon carbide ceramic membranes and partners with Aquafortus for high-TDS brine desalination.

RODI serves enterprise and government customers across oil and gas, power generation, mining, semiconductor/electronics, food and beverage, defense, desalination, and emerging green hydrogen applications. Named customers include Anheuser Busch, ADM, Intel, Siemens, GE, Duke Energy, Calpine, PG&E, US Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Research Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratory. The company reports that its products process over 1.5 billion gallons of water per day across 10,000+ installations in 40+ countries. Leadership is founder/management-owned, with no disclosed external funding or parent company.
