Koch Separation Solutions (KSS) is transforming the landscape of separations by developing and leveraging synergistic technology such as membrane filtration, ion exchange, evaporation, drying, and more. With over half a century worth of experience, KSS offers comprehensive solutions for the most challenging applications in food and beverage, life science, and general industrial markets. KSS works with customers around the world to recover high-value product, eliminate waste, reduce footprint, increase productivity, and lower costs.
KSS is more than just a technology provider. We aim to be our customers’ preferred partner as they seek to improve their operations through advanced separations, working with them from the R&D phase, through piloting, large-scale implementation, and after-sales services. Our portfolio of products and systems offers complementary technology for small and large operations alike, positioning us to deliver the most cutting-edge and innovative solutions.
As an ISO 9001 certified company, we strive to meet our customers’ expectations for excellence and adherence to regulatory requirements. As a result, we follow the strictest safety, environmental and quality-control standards.
We believe in continually investing in advancing technology to drive our business forward and push the boundaries of what is possible. We are committed to collaborative innovation with our customers to develop customized and sustainable solutions that create value and virtuous cycles of mutual benefit.
KSS acquired Eco-Tec, a Canada-based ion exchange company, in November of 2019 and subsequently rebranded from a decades-old membrane filtration provider (Koch Membrane Systems) to the complete solutions provider we are known as today. The core of Eco-Tec ion exchange technology relies on the proprietary Recoflo® fine-mesh resin, a unique and innovative resin bead that offers customers the ability to operate within a smaller footprint at higher operational efficiency. Our Eco-Tec team has expertise across acid purification, anodizing, amine purification, biogas and sour gas purification, and more.
RELCO® is based in the Midwest region of the United States – the heartland of dairy and cheese. As an industry leader in evaporation, drying, cheesemaking equipment, and powder handling & packaging technologies, the acquisition of RELCO in November 2020 enhanced our capabilities and solutions offering in the food and dairy industries. RELCO also held a strong presence in Brazil, New Zealand, and the Netherlands, allowing KSS to connect with manufacturers around the world and provide integrated, complete process solutions through the combined power of evaporator, dryer, and membrane filtration technologies.
We look forward to partnering with you to create a better future.
