What AdEdge does

AdEdge Water Technologies, LLC, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Atlanta (Duluth), Georgia, designs, manufactures, and deploys engineered water treatment systems for the removal of contaminants from drinking, waste, and industrial water. The company's technology portfolio includes proprietary adsorption media (Bayoxide E33 for arsenic, AD26 and ADGS+ for iron/manganese/sulfide, FLUORO-SORB for PFAS), ion exchange resins (AD88/AD88-S for radium, AD92 for uranium), dissolved-gas systems (SDOX for supersaturated oxygen; CDOX for CO2-based pH control), and a biological treatment process (biottta) for nitrate removal. Supporting platforms include the WaterPOD and Dual SDOX 600 containerized units and the H2Zero backwash recycle system, collectively enabling treatment of more than 25 contaminants. The portfolio is documented at scale: >8,100 installations across 85 countries, >400 arsenic systems, >350 manganese systems, and >30 full-scale permitted PFAS installations.

The company operates a hybrid revenue model combining capital equipment sales (custom-engineered, quote-based systems with multi-year contracts), a recurring Treatment as a Service (TaaS) subscription offering, ongoing consumable media and resin supply, and turnkey media replacement and emergency services. Go-to-market mixes direct enterprise field sales with channel partners — including a referral agreement with Calgon Carbon (October 2021), an exclusive PFAS Guard distribution agreement (July 2025), and a strategic North American distribution partnership with Ratermann (January 2026). Primary customer segments are municipal water utilities and industrial facilities in food processing, beverage, pulp and paper, and agriculture; named accounts include Tyson Foods (75% energy reduction, $646K annual savings), Simmons Foods, Campbell's/Snyder's-Lance, Mountaire Farms, and multiple city utilities (Ramsey NJ, Louisville GA, Taylorville IL, Cold Spring MN).

AdEdge Water Technologies and BlueInGreen were merged into ChartWater, LLC effective July 31 (under Chart Industries, Inc., NYSE: GTLS), creating a combined entity that pairs media-based treatment expertise with dissolved-gas and aeration technology (Howden). Day-to-day operations remain intact, and the legal entity AdEdge Water Technologies, LLC continues to deliver engineered systems under the broader ChartWater commercial umbrella.
