Founded in 2009 around an efficient solar distillation unit, Pittsburgh-based Epiphany Environmental develops modular water-purification systems for industrial wastewater, with a particular focus on treating high-salinity produced water close to where it is generated. Its compact, portable equipment is designed to reduce hauling and disposal by enabling on-site treatment and reuse, and has been piloted with organizations including the Colorado Department of Transportation and energy producers in the Marcellus and Denver Julesburg basins. The company also serves food and dairy operations, including a cheese plant installation designed to process roughly 10,000 gallons of brine per day.
