Modular Water Systems

What Modular Water Systems does

Modular Water Systems (MWS), founded in July 2018 and headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, designs and sells prefabricated wastewater treatment systems and packaged lift stations for municipal, industrial, real estate development, and decentralized small-flow applications across the United States. Originally launched as a division of OriginClear Inc. (OTC: OCLN), MWS is now housed within OriginClear's Water On Demand subsidiary (WODI), which has signed a Business Combination Agreement with Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: FRLA) targeting a Nasdaq listing. The company's headquarters are in Clearwater, Florida, while manufacturing and engineering operations run through Progressive Water Treatment facilities in Sherman and McKinney, Texas, with planned in-house manufacturing via an intended acquisition of Plastic Welding and Fabrication Ltd. (Buda, Texas). MWS goes to market through approximately 50 manufacturer sales representatives, direct enterprise sales to specifying engineers and Engineers of Record, and regional channel partners including Enviromaintenance (Greater Central Texas), with system transaction values reported between roughly $60,000 and $250,000+.

MWS's core technology is Structurally Reinforced ThermoPlastics (SRTP) manufacturing combined with established treatment processes including Membrane BioReactor (MBR) and Integrated Film Activated Sludge (IFAS). SRTP vessels are claimed to deliver 75-100 years of service life versus approximately 20-25 years for conventional concrete or steel. The product portfolio is organized under the Evera brand family: EveraFLO (packaged lift stations), EveraSKID (containerized plug-and-play treatment), EveraTREAT (treatment systems including multi-stage treatment configurations), EveraTREAT MINI (2,500-10,000 GPD small-flow systems), EveraBOX (equipment/control buildings), EveraCRAFT (brewery-specific systems), EveraMOD (premium turnkey pump stations), and Closed-Loop Blackwater Recycling (zero-liquid-discharge systems). Five patents cover the packaged water treatment systems, with an external patent valuation reported between $26.6M and $53.2M.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of equipment packages, supplemented by commissioning, operator training, and engineering support services. Disclosed Q1 2023 revenue reached $1,155,803 (representing 58% of OriginClear's consolidated revenue that quarter) at a 27% gross margin. The WODI SPAC transaction implies approximately $32M of value on 3.2x 2022 revenue, suggesting roughly $10M of 2022 revenue for the MWS-bearing entity. Headcount is small (~6 employees), with manufacturing substantially outsourced through partners including Progressive Water Treatment and Plastic Welding and Fabrication.
