ater is quite literally the lifeblood of our planet without it, we would have never been.

It is no shock then that water treatment facilities are paramount to the survival, facilitation, and continuation of our society. The provision of clean water, not just for drinking but for a wide variety of utilities, both domestic and regionally, becomes essential to the function of every aspects in our daily lives.

Because of this, it comes down to water treatment facilities and desalination to ensure and maintain quality levels of clean and safe water for individuals, families, companies, and entire industries alike.

Texas-based Magna Imperio

Systems Corp. (MI Systems) is one of the firms ensuring that industries and individuals are receiving the quality and sustainable water supply they require and deserve.

MI Systems is a national and international water technology company that designs, develops, manufactures and has commercialized the highest recovery, most energy and cost-efficient, sustainable water treatment and desalination system in the world.

Grant Page, Founder and Chairman, and Eric Rosenfeldt, CEO, shed some light on MI Systems and its place within the water-provision industry.

“We are seeing exciting opportunities in the US and, in other parts of North America as well,” Page begins.

“It is well known that the water industry has been stagnant and unyielding to new solutions. We are here to change that problem and interrupt an industry run by EPCs with our environmentally friendly and innovative technology.”

“There is a lot of work to be done especially regarding municipalities and businesses that need support with their water treatment infrastructure,” Rosenfeldt adds.

“In some cases, our customers need a complete replacement of their current system. The solutions at MI Systems allows us to solve problems for several industries because of our revolutionary modular, compact design and our ability to meet our customers’ volume demands.

MAGNA IMPERIO SYSTEMS CORP. “Ultimately, we want to solve the problems surrounding this precious resource and make it accessible to people and to areas where it currently is not.”

MI Systems stands out in the water industry through its enthusiasm to take on and solve the most complex water-related challenges and problems that arise. The firm utilizes its own best-in-class technology with CAREER HISTORIES

HOW DID YOU BOTH BECOME INTERESTED IN THE WATER INDUSTRY? GRANT PAGE: While serving in the military, and during my last operation, one of my port stops was in Duqm, Oman. I noticed several humanitarian efforts – especially efforts concerning water. First-hand, I saw people in the 21st century who still lacked access to a basic need.

I was inspired then to dedicate my life and career to expanding the reach of humanity’s most precious resource: clean water.

ERIC ROSENFELDT: My career started in commodities. I was gradually drawn to the energy sector and found a niche in leading companies through rapid growth. I have been fortunate in that this has allowed me to work in diverse markets in countries all over the world.

A few years ago, I met Grant. His passion made my interest in the water industry grow. Because my roles have always centered around understanding the needs of my customers and making sure I could provide the best solutions, my path naturally directed me to Magna Imperio Systems.

an emphasis on innovation to do this, and from such innovative talent has developed one of the most robust patent portfolios in the water industry.

“Recently we deployed and fully commissioned a modular municipality plant that we locally built from the ground up,” Page tells us.

“In less than one year, we were able to bring drinking water to a community using a system with a

Holliday Process Solutions Increased Approach to Systems Lifecyle & Reliability With outreach into the domestic and international markets, Holliday Process Solutions has gained market share through process improvement and collaboration with our clients.

HPS continues to dive into our clients desired design with an approach to the Lifecycle, Reliability, and commissioning in mind. When qualifying the subcomponents within a control panel most take the short-term approach to choosing the highest valued manufactured products available. While there is merit to this in some cases, our daily applications tend to deal with the infrastructure of Utilities, Municipalities and life safety, these markets cannot afford downtime or risk to the systems they rely on.

We approach our designs based on our vast experience to prevent product failures in the field as well as providing the client components that will be available for years to come. We do our due diligence when designing a system and simulate applications in our lab.

Engineering is simply theory, and we put theory to the test amongst our test instruments and highly qualified contributors to the business.

Holliday Process Solutions stays in the limelight with Renewable Energy in mind providing off-grid Photovoltaics (Solar Power), Wind Power, and Fuel Cell Technology to prevent the footprint of our systems on the environment. We were founded on technology utilizing the ethical approach to Control Panel Design while maintaining the confidence of our clientele with the latest technology available.

terms of energy efficiency and recovery for desalination technology.

END® offers up to 60 percent energy savings versus traditional treatment technologies with clean water recoveries up to 99+ percent, capitalizing on the far-reaching impacts of Maximum Recovery, Minimum Energy®. In contrast, EDR can only clean brackish water. END® can not only clean brackish, but also seawater, produced water, and turn it into potable or ultra-pure water.

“The future is equally invigorating,” Rosenfeldt informs us.

“Our top researchers are working on a product for the oil and gas industry that will desalinate produced water for as little as 30 cents per barrel. As pioneers of this technology, we will supply a product that is mindful to the economic needs of the oil and gas market, while respecting the environment. Our deployment of this modular product will be demonstrated as early as this spring.”

ENERGY & UTILITIES “OUR KEY PRIORITIES ARE TO CONTINUE TO DELIVER AN UNPARALLELED HIGH QUALITY AND RELIABLE PRODUCT TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND CONTINUE TO ENHANCE THE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE AT OUR GROWING COMPANY” “Moving forward, we are expanding our model to offer long-term water service agreements, (WSAs). We plan to grow and offer our services for decades to come. The WSA model is a great solution for companies who are looking to reduce their CAPEX costs by allowing MI Systems to bear the initial expenses – including construction and installation.

Furthermore, we are confident in our product’s ability to produce results.

Because of this, we have options for clients to pay on a per 1000 gallons or per barrel of product basis.”

Page ends by measuring MI Systems’ past to the future to come.

“We were conceived as a technology company, we expanded as a research/development think tank, and utilized a manufacturing model to rapidly scale and deploy our first systems. Moving forward, the company will focus on offering unparalleled service and solutions with the highest quality of smart technologies.”

MI Systems’ focus over the next year is expansion in North America, the Caribbean, and Latin America.

The firm’s technology serves many industries, such as oil and gas, food and beverage, municipal, and industrial waters. Across the water industry, it is crucial that we further our advances in minimizing the waste

on our earth, our carbon footprint, all while reducing the space and energy needed to do it.

“In the past, we have been successful in offering CAPEX solutions for our clients and then serving as their resource for maintenance and repairs,” Page elaborates.
