The Chemtex Difference:
Big Results, Small Company Heart
At Chemtex, we combine the strength of deep industry expertise with the agility of a growing, independent company. That means faster response times, tailored solutions, and a hands-on team that knows your name—not just your account number.
While larger competitors may rely on one-size-fits-all programs, we stay ahead of the curve through continuous learning, system optimization, and a sharp focus on your critical resources. From wastewater treatment to cooling towers, we deliver smarter, safer, and more sustainable outcomes—because we’re built to adapt and built to care.
Revolutionizing Water Treatment
Smarter Systems. Safer Operations. Sustainable Outcomes.
At Chemtex, we’re not just managing water—we’re redefining how it works for your business. For over 40 years, we’ve partnered with industrial and commercial facilities to bring modern, results-driven water treatment solutions to heating, cooling, wastewater, and process systems.
By combining smart automation, customized chemistry, and a deep commitment to conserving critical resources, we’re helping clients stay ahead of the curve—safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
Smart Sensor Technology That Works for You
Outdated, manual testing methods are giving way to real-time insight and proactive control. Chemtex’s remote smart sensors provide 24/7 monitoring of key system variables like flow rate, turbidity, temperature, and pollutant concentrations—including heavy metals.
Paired with intelligent control systems, our technology doesn’t just monitor—it responds. From adjusting chemical feed rates to managing flow paths or activating filtration systems, Chemtex helps ensure optimal performance with minimal downtime.
With live data at your fingertips and automated system management, your team can focus on what matters most—while we keep your water systems running clean, safe, and cost-efficient.
Sustainable Chemistry, Proven Results
Many traditional treatment methods replace one problem with another—introducing persistent, slightly less-toxic pollutants into the environment. Chemtex offers a better path forward.
Our biodegradable, high-performance process chemicals are custom-blended in-house to meet your specific system needs. We reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance—helping your operation meet compliance, cut costs, and support long-term sustainability goals.
The Chemtex Commitment
With Chemtex, you gain more than a vendor—you gain a partner.
Our approach is built around:
-
Safety: Industry-best practices to protect people and equipment
-
Systems: Data-driven solutions tailored to your infrastructure
-
Sustainability: Smart technology and green chemistry that reduce waste and resource use

Chemtex Proven Process





Revolutionizing Water Treatment
At Chemtex, we believe today’s water management techniques are a leap forward from the basic systems of the past. With cutting-edge technology and a commitment to efficiency, safety, and sustainability, our solutions are transforming water management for a wide variety of industries. Here are some of the top innovations driving our approach to water treatment solutions.
Smart Sensor Technology
Smart sensors are revolutionizing industrial processes, and water treatment is no exception. Traditional monitoring often relies on manual testing and scheduled operator checks. Chemtex takes this to the next level with advanced smart sensors and controls.
Our remote smart sensors continuously monitor critical parameters like flow rate, turbidity, temperature, and pollutant levels—such as heavy metals—in real-time. This data is instantly transmitted to operators, providing a live snapshot of system performance. Paired with our smart controls, these systems go beyond monitoring to optimize operations autonomously—adjusting chemical dosing, managing flow rates, or activating equipment like filters and aerators as needed. With Chemtex’s fully automated “smart” water solutions, your team can focus on production while minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
At Chemtex, we’re committed to sustainability. Traditional wastewater treatment can sometimes replace one pollutant with another less toxic—but still persistent—chemical. Our greener, biodegradable process chemicals change that equation.
Chemtex: Your Partner for Water Treatment Excellence
From smart automation to sustainable chemistry, Chemtex is redefining wastewater treatment. Our solutions deliver efficiency, cost savings, and environmental responsibility—today and for decades to come. Contact us today to learn how we can tailor these advancements to your needs.
