Environmental Treatment Systems, Inc.

What Environmental Treatment Systems, Inc. does

Environmental Treatment Systems, Inc., doing business as ETS UV, is a U.S.-based manufacturer of Dissolved Gas Flotation wastewater treatment equipment and operates as a brand within Xylem's water technology portfolio. The company's core offering centers on two flotation technologies — Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) and Dissolved Nitrogen Flotation (DNF) — used to separate suspended solids, oils, and other contaminants from industrial and municipal wastewater streams. System architecture integrates proprietary components including HELLBENDER DAF pumps, HELLBENDER process mixers, IPAC (Inline Process Air Control) units, and flocculation tubes, packaged into skidded flotation systems.

ETS UV monetizes through direct capital equipment sales to industrial and municipal wastewater treatment operators, complemented by a DAF rental fleet offered in three sizes that allows customers to access flotation capacity without outright purchase. The brand leverages Xylem's global sales, service, and distribution infrastructure to reach end markets across municipal utilities and industrial facilities. The DNF technology extension, beyond traditional DAF, addresses applications where nitrogen is preferred as the carrier gas, broadening the addressable use cases for the product line.

Strategically, the company is positioned as a specialized flotation-systems specialist inside a larger water technology platform, with its competitive identity anchored on proprietary branded components (HELLBENDER, IPAC) and a capital-light rental option. Its growth orientation is signaled through product-line extensions (DNF, IPAC, rental fleet) rather than through any disclosed acquisitions, funding events, or geographic launches specific to this brand in the available data.

Core offering

Environmental Treatment Systems, Inc. (ETS UV) designs, manufactures, and sells Dissolved Gas Flotation (DGF) systems, with a primary focus on Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) and Dissolved Nitrogen Flotation (DNF) units that remove total suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), oils and greases (O&G), and other contaminants from industrial and municipal wastewater. Supporting offerings include proprietary HELLBENDER DAF pumps, HELLBENDER process mixers, IPAC integrated aerobic pretreatment, flocculation tubes, pH control/equalization/screening, and tank mixing systems, plus a rental fleet of DAF units for pilot or short-term deployments.

Product overview

Environmental Treatment Systems, Inc. (ETS UV), a Xylem brand, offers a comprehensive line of Dissolved Gas Flotation (DGF) systems for wastewater treatment. The core product line includes Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) and Dissolved Nitrogen Flotation (DNF) systems that remove total suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand, and oils and greases. Supporting components include HELLBENDER® DAF pumps and process mixers, IPAC integrated aerobic pretreatment, flocculation tubes, pH control/equalization/screening ancillaries, and tank mixing systems. The company also offers DAF rental units for temporary or short-term operational needs. These products work together as a complete wastewater treatment solution where contaminated water is processed through dissolved gas flotation, with micron-sized bubbles attaching to contaminants that rise to the surface for removal.

Products and services

• Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Systems Dissolved Air Flotation systems that remove total suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), oils and greases (O&G), and other contaminants from industrial and municipal wastewater streams across primary, secondary, and tertiary applications.
• Dissolved Nitrogen Flotation (DNF) Systems Dissolved Nitrogen Flotation systems used in place of DAF where air or oxygen injection is undesirable, used to treat high-strength industrial wastewater streams for TSS, BOD, O&G, and related contaminants.
• HELLBENDER DAF Pump Proprietary pressurized pump designed to dissolve air into a side stream and generate the micro-bubbles that drive ETS UV DAF systems. Sold as a stand-alone component for use with the company's flotation systems.
• HELLBENDER Process Mixer Process mixer used upstream of DAF systems to provide uniform chemical and suspended solids mixing prior to flotation separation.
• IPAC Integrated Aerobic Pretreatment Integrated Aerobic Pretreatment system placed upstream of a DAF unit to biologically reduce loading on the flotation stage and improve overall system performance in high-strength industrial streams.
• Flocculation Tubes Flocculation tubes used in coagulation and flocculation steps upstream of DAF flotation, providing mixing and residence time for chemical treatment of suspended solids.
• pH Control, Equalization and Screening Pre-treatment package combining pH adjustment, flow equalization, and screening to condition industrial wastewater prior to DAF flotation.
• Tank Mixing System Tank mixing system used to provide uniform chemical and solids distribution in upstream buffer or reaction tanks feeding DAF systems.
• DAF Rental Units Rental fleet of Dissolved Air Flotation units supplied on a short-term basis for pilot testing, temporary capacity, or evaluation before capital purchase.
