What Precision Chemical does
Precision Chemical, founded in 2002 in Boonville, Indiana, and now operating as Chemtron Supply dba CRB Water following a 2024 integration, is a specialty water treatment company serving industrial, healthcare, and commercial customers across Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri. The company's product portfolio spans custom-engineered chemical treatment programs (corrosion inhibitors, biocides, scale inhibitors, coagulants, flocculants) in both liquid and solid formats, treatment equipment (controllers, chemical pumps, RO membranes, monochloramine and chlorine dioxide generators), and consulting services including total water management system evaluation, on-site testing, and laboratory testing.
The technology stack combines conventional water chemistry with two proprietary differentiators: the ProMoss sphagnum-moss-based chemical-free treatment system (trademarked, stable to 250°F, applied via contact chambers or open sumps) and a patented solid-paste dissolving system for green-chemistry products (one 44 lb case replaces a 55-gallon/500 lb drum). Web-based controllers deliver 24/7 remote monitoring and access to SDS and service documentation. The business model is enterprise field sales with direct delivery from three regional warehouses, supplemented by a Boonville-based blending laboratory for product development and quality control. Multi-year enterprise contracts drive recurring chemical replenishment and equipment revenue; pricing is custom and quote-based. Customer industries include power generation, pharmaceutical, automotive, plastics/rubber, food and dairy, and commercial/institutional HVAC, with a dedicated ASHRAE-compliant hospital services line for Legionella analysis and pathogen risk reduction. Since 2024, the company has operated as a regional node within CRB Water (formerly Chemtron RiverBend), described by the parent as the fastest-growing national water treatment company in the U.S.
