What Adedge Water Technologies Llc does

AdEdge Water Technologies LLC, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, designs and supplies engineered systems for removing contaminants — including PFAS, arsenic, nitrate, iron, manganese, radium, uranium, and sulfide — from drinking water, wastewater, and industrial process water. Its core technology portfolio combines proprietary adsorption media (Bayoxide E33 for arsenic, AD26 for iron/manganese, FLUORO-SORB for PFAS, AD88/AD92 resins for radium/uranium), biological treatment systems (biottta), and dissolved gas technologies (SDOX supersaturated oxygen, CDOX carbon dioxide pH control, HyDOz ozone). The company delivers containerized and skid-mounted packaged solutions, high-recovery reverse osmosis for PFAS, backwash recycle systems, and mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) zero-liquid-discharge systems.

The business operates across two primary segments: municipal water systems (utilities and government agencies needing EPA/WHO-compliant treatment) and industrial facilities (food processing, pulp and paper, agriculture, pharma, manufacturing). It monetizes through one-time equipment sales, recurring Treatment-as-a-Service (TaaS) monthly contracts, replacement media and consumables, custom engineering, and aftermarket services and parts. GTM combines enterprise field sales, technical webinars, industry events, and an indirect channel that includes new distribution partnerships with Ratermann and PFAS Guard.

Effective July 31, AdEdge and BlueInGreen merged into ChartWater, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chart Industries Inc. (NYSE: GTLS). The combined platform integrates Howden/HV-TURBO/TURBLEX centrifugal turbo compressors and Spencer blowers, Howden Uptime digital performance monitoring, and the broader Chart global manufacturing footprint. ChartWater cites 8,100+ installations across 85 countries serving close to a billion people, including 400+ arsenic systems, 350+ manganese systems, and 30+ full-scale permitted PFAS installations, with named industrial customers including Tyson Foods, Simmons Foods, Mountaire Farms, Seaboard-Triumph Foods, and Campbell's/Snyder's Lance.
