For over half a century, KSS has been commited to delivering clean and safe drinking water and effective wastewater treatment. Our advanced technologies meet stringent water quality standards and can treat water from a variety of sources including – but not limited to – ground water, surface water, seawater, and brackish water. Our solutions are cost-effective and reduce labor, energy, and cleaning chemical requirements, while removing turbidity, suspended solids, viruses and bacteria, silt, and metals.

With nearly 800 million people suffering from a scarce supply of clean water worldwide, our advanced membrane filtration is helping municipalities to purify their water supplies. Our technologies are made to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act and World Health Organization guidelines, and we continue to innovate for the changing needs of tomorrow. Our cost-effective ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis systems make surface water safe to source by removing turbidity, suspended solids, bacteria and viruses. They also provide a positive barrier to contaminents that conventional media filtration cannot guarantee.
Ideal for:
Process Water
Conditioning
KSS drinking water systems are installed all over the world, meeting all required local regulations. Our UF systems, sometimes followed by our RO systems will make a reliable and consistent final product.
Municipalities worldwide are faced with wastewater challenges due to population growth, changing regulations, failing infrastructure or outdated technology. Our membrane bioreactor modules and systems provide reliable, energy-efficient performance to meet the necessary demands for water discharge and reuse, including tertiary treatment. Effluents of our wastewater treatment systems comply with strict discharge limits, as well as water reuse targets. Koch Separation Solutions filtration is currently a key part of the largest wastewater reuse effort in the Southern Hemisphere, the Aquapolo Ambiental project in São Paulo, Brazil.
Ideal for:
Wastewater
End of pipe solution for treatment of municipal effluent. Biological treatment combined with ultrafiltration technology provides consistent, high-quality effluent.
Wastewater Reuse
MBR technology produces reuse quality water consistent with Title 22 for irrigation and other uses. Existing wastewater treatment systems can add our UF systems to produce the same quality of water. Further addition of our RO or NF technology can polish residual organics and TDS for high-quality reuse consistent with indirect or direct potable reuse systems.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including PFOA, PFOS, and other compounds, have been identified as emerging contaminants of concern for both drinking water supplies and wastewater discharge. PFAS-related regulations and guidance are becoming increasingly focused and stringent. Our RO and ion exchange technologies are ideal for removing many of these chemicals from water to reduce detectable levels.
Ideal for:
Process Water
Conditioning
KSS RO and ion exchange systems can treat existing water streams to a high degree of removal efficiency, allowing plants to comply with ever stricter regulations.
Our filtration and separation solutions for desalination operations on naturally occurring water sources function by removing both suspended and dissolved solids to as low as ultra-pure levels, where required. These methods significantly reduce the waste of water, heat, energy, labor, and cleaning chemicals as compared with conventional technologies, and production quality is improved at lower costs.
Ideal for:
Process
TSS Reduction
Depending on the source of the water, pretreatment may be necessary to reduce the suspended solids in the stream
Process
TDS Reduction
Depending on the type of process water being made (i.e. cooling tower makeup, boiler makeup, washdown, etc.), various unit operations may be required to remove dissolved ions.
Wastewater Reuse
When the objective is to create non-potable reuse water, often various unit operations will be required to remove TSS and/or TDS.
