Centrisys

What Centrisys does

Centrisys (doing business as Centrisys/CNP) is a privately held US manufacturer headquartered in Kenosha, Wisconsin, specializing in decanter centrifuges and biosolids/wastewater treatment equipment and services. Its core hardware portfolio includes the CS Series Dewatering Centrifuge, a polymer-free Sludge Thickener, a Low-Temperature Belt Dryer, a CD Series Vertical Cuttings Dryer, mobile centrifuge systems, and the proprietary ROTODIFF hydraulic backdrive component. Through its CNP sub-brand, the company layers process solutions on top of its equipment: PONDUS thermal hydrolysis for anaerobic digestion intensification, MagPrex struvite removal and phosphorus recovery, and CalPrex phosphorus index management.

The company monetizes through four streams: equipment sales, equipment rentals from an active rental fleet, service/repair/parts including 24/7 nationwide and global field service covering all centrifuge brands, and process-solution sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting large municipal and industrial buyers. Customer segments span 11 verticals, with municipal water and wastewater as the primary segment and industrial verticals (ethanol, dairy, animal protein, food and beverage, mining and minerals, oil and gas, pulp and paper, site remediation, steel and primary metals, tunneling) as secondary. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and Build America, Buy America (BABA) compliance, positioning it for federally funded wastewater infrastructure contracts. Customer acquisition relies on direct enterprise field sales supported by content marketing (case studies, technical guides, interactive polymer- and disposal-cost-savings calculators), WEFTEC and industry event participation, and a multi-channel webcast/video library.
