Liquid Systems

What Liquid Systems does

Liquid Systems, Inc. (LSI) is a privately held, family-driven industrial equipment and service provider founded in 1984 and headquartered at 998 North Maple Street, Simpsonville, South Carolina. The company designs, fabricates, installs, and services integrated liquid handling systems — tanks, pumps, and meters — primarily for the U.S. feed mill industry, which it identifies as its core vertical. It also offers custom process piping fabrication and ongoing meter calibration on quarterly and yearly cadences.

The product portfolio centers on a turn-key installation model that bundles durable poly or custom steel tanks, Viking and carbon steel pump assemblies with pressure relief and bypass piping, and a meter line that includes magnetic flow meters and the Brodie 9402 Series mechanical oval gear meter. Layered onto the hardware are digital monitoring offerings — the Online Tank Monitor with web-based inventory access, the Local Level Display for up to eight tanks, and the proprietary Overfill Protection Alert System (OPAS) with dual float switch alerts. The company integrates its monitoring stack with Smartank Portal and Transcend Anova for remote inventory and asset data access.

Commercially, LSI operates a direct sales model with quote-based pricing (no public price list) and delivers nationwide on-site installation, calibration, and assessment through a small field team. Revenue streams combine hardware sales, turn-key installation services, custom fabrication, and recurring calibration contracts. The company has 11–50 employees, is owned by the founding family with no disclosed institutional funding, and emphasizes 40+ years of mechanical and process piping experience as its primary differentiator.
