Company History
PHOENIX Process Equipment
Co. was established in Pompano Beach, Florida in 1984. A Department of
Energy grant helped fund the development of the company's initial technology,
the separation of clean coal from coal refuse. The development of this
process technology fostered the company's development of its first commercially
successful product, a high capacity dewatering filter (belt filter press)
capable of efficiently dewatering fine particle slurries.
The success of this
dewatering technology established the foundation that has led the company
to become an international leader in the supply of liquid/solid separation
and residuals dewatering technology.
With its initial customer
base primarily bituminous coal producers, the company relocated its early
operations to Louisville, Kentucky in 1986 to better service the industry.
From PHOENIX's international
headquarters in Louisville, the company quickly expanded its markets and
technologies, being recognized in 1989 by Inc. Magazine as one of America's
500 fastest growing private companies.
Through internal development
and a series of strategic partnering relationships and joint ventures,
PHOENIX has established a broad base of products and liquid/solid separation
process technologies targeted at residuals and sludge dewatering and thickening,
water clarification and filtration, and solids classification and separation.
PHOENIX products include
belt filter presses, gravity belt thickeners, filter presses, screw presses,
high rate circular thickeners, hydrocyclone/screen separators, sand filters,
reverse osmosis units, fluid bed density separators, and jigs.
Other services offered
by PHOENIX include: automation and control design, electrical systems
design, facilities engineering, field support services, installation,
operator training, replacement parts, start-up services, and turnkey systems.
The company sells
its products and services through a worldwide network of sales representatives.
