ProAct Services

What ProAct Services does

ProAct Services is a U.S.-based environmental treatment solutions provider, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Ludington, Michigan. The company operates a horizontal environmental services and equipment rental business focused on mobile and stationary water and air remediation for industrial, municipal, microelectronics, and oil & gas customers. Its core offering is a fleet of 17 rental equipment product categories covering volatile organic compound (VOC) removal, hydrocarbon separation, PFAS treatment, sediment and solids removal, chemical and pH adjustment, dual/multi-phase extraction, ozone remediation, dissolved air flotation, dewatering, and ultrapure water generation. Key proprietary platforms include the MitiGATOR Mobile System (rapid-response PFAS potable water treatment), the Carbonair Air Strippers line, the Mobile PV Carbon Adsorption System, and the Vantage Mobile Ultrapure Water System for microelectronics. Equipment specifications span flow rates of 5–1,000 gpm and operating weights up to 140,000 lbs, supporting both emergency deployments and planned remediation projects.

The business model is project-based equipment rental complemented by on-site environmental services. ProAct Services generates revenue through deployment of trailer- and skid-mounted mobile treatment assets and stationary installations, with pricing quoted per project based on duration, equipment specifications, and contamination profile rather than disclosed list pricing. The go-to-market operates through direct rental to enterprise customers, supported by an online product catalog and industry case-study content. Strategic expansion has been executed through M&A: ProAct Services acquired Carbonair in December 2015, adding the air stripping product line, and acquired Thermtech in August 2017, broadening its thermal treatment capability. The company holds registered/granted IP for the MitiGATOR Mobile System, the J-Press Filter Press, and the Mobile PV Carbon Adsorption System, forming the core of its technology differentiation. There is no disclosed evidence of AI/ML, software, or digital product lines in the current offering.
