Industrial Treatment of Water

What Industrial Treatment of Water does

Industrial Treatment of Water LLC, operating as ITOH2 across North America and OHAWAI Water Technologies in Hawaii, is a private, Portland-USA-headquartered water treatment service company founded in 2010. It sells and services treatment programs for cooling towers, steam boilers, hydronic closed loops, reverse osmosis systems, glycol installations, scrubbers, and waste water systems, serving healthcare facilities, power plants, bio-pharmaceutical manufacturers, food and beverage processors, general manufacturing, commercial high- and low-rise real estate, semiconductor fabs, paper and pulp operations, universities/school districts, government buildings, and military installations.

Its technology stack spans multiple chemistry modalities — Green Chemistry (Time Release, Paste, Liquid formulations), Solid, Capsule, Non-Chemical, Filtration, and UV treatments — delivered through EPA/IFC-compliant and OSHA-recommended dual containment tanks. Supporting services include 24/7/365 real-time mineral and treatment monitoring, web and mobile monitoring with text alerts, corrosion rate, metal loss, and exchanger tube simulation, plus trace dye monitoring and ASHRAE 188/ANSI-aligned Legionella risk management.

The business model is a field-led enterprise service: Chemical Engineer and Chemist field scientists conduct on-site service visits, equipment inspections, metering pump and controller maintenance, training, and continuous improvement programs under quote-based multi-year contracts. Revenue combines recurring water treatment service subscriptions, treatment chemical sales (locally blended in WA, OR, and CA with 1-3 day lead times and same-day emergency delivery), Legionella and water management program professional services, and subscription monitoring/leak-detection consulting. Distribution is direct field sales plus phone/email; marketing leverages industry association credibility (AWT) and B2B vendor compliance networks (Compliance Depot, Net Vendor).

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Solenis: Specialty chemicals supplier for water-intensive industries including paper, food & beverage, and power generation. Overlaps with ITOH2's industrial verticals and chemical treatment focus, with broader scale and global footprint.
• Veolia Water Technologies: Global water and wastewater treatment solutions provider including chemicals, equipment, and digital monitoring. Competes with ITOH2 in industrial water treatment and Legionella compliance but operates at much greater scale and breadth.
• Kurita Water Industries: Japanese-headquartered global supplier of water treatment chemicals and equipment for industrial facilities. Direct overlap in cooling tower, boiler, and ultrapure water treatment for semiconductor/pharma.
• Pentair: Global water treatment equipment and solutions provider including commercial/industrial filtration and water management. Adjacent competitor primarily on the equipment side (RO systems, filtration) rather than chemical service model.
• Nalco Water (Ecolab): Largest industrial water treatment and process improvement provider globally. Broad incumbent across cooling, boiler, wastewater, and Legionella management; competes with ITOH2 in nearly every customer vertical, with greater resources but less service personalization.
• Suez Water Technologies & Solutions: Industrial water and process treatment services and equipment, including chemical monitoring and Legionella risk management. Competes with ITOH2 across most served verticals with greater geographic reach.

Direct peers

• Chem-Aqua: Industrial and commercial water treatment service company providing cooling tower, boiler, closed loop, and Legionella management. Strongest US-based mid-market peer to ITOH2 with comparable service-led model and customer verticals.
• ChemTreat: Industrial water treatment chemicals and on-site service for cooling towers, boilers, and process systems. Closest direct peer to ITOH2 in target customers (industrial/commercial facilities), service model (field-service-led), and product portfolio (chemical treatment plus monitoring).
• Aqua-Chem: Industrial water treatment solutions including chemicals, equipment, and service for boilers, cooling towers, and process water. Comparable mid-market US industrial peer with similar on-site service approach.

Regional players

• American Water Chemicals (AWC): Specialty water treatment chemicals for industrial and membrane applications (RO, boiler, cooling). Comparable technology focus on ITOH2's reverse osmosis and specialty chemical lines, with primarily US/global industrial customer base.
