Tekleen Expands Strategy for Water Conservation and Reuse

Tekleen Automatic Filters has announced a broadened corporate strategy aimed at enhancing industrial water resilience, marking a significant shift in its approach to water management. The company now positions itself at the forefront of addressing water conservation, reuse, infrastructure protection, and operational reliability across a variety of industries.

"Nagui Elyas, CEO of Tekleen, stated, 'Water filtration is no longer just about the equipment; it’s part of a larger conversation about how organizations conserve water, reuse resources, protect infrastructure, and ensure reliable operations.'"

Tekleen’s advanced filtration systems are designed to tackle water-intensive and mission-critical environments, supporting applications from irrigation to industrial processes. The company’s portfolio includes notable installations at St. Lucie West Services District, Watsonville Wastewater Treatment Facility, and several airports and utilities. At St. Lucie West Services District, Tekleen’s systems process approximately 60 million gallons of reclaimed water monthly.

"TJ Bayer, Assistant Utilities Director for St. Lucie West Services District, commented, 'The quality and ease of use of the Tekleen filters made them the clear choice for our irrigation pump stations.'"

Tekleen’s technology also provides environmental and operational benefits in commercial cooling applications. Kevin Injeski, Assistant Chief Engineer, noted, "Tekleen’s backwash mechanism significantly reduced water usage, aligning with both our economic and environmental goals."

The company’s approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of each customer. From small-scale building water solutions to large industrial systems, Tekleen engineers filtration solutions around the water source, flow requirements, infrastructure, operating conditions, and long-term objectives. A notable project involves a filtration system processing 23,000 gallons per minute through 17 Tekleen ABW10-HLP filters.

"We understand the complete water problem," Elyas emphasized. "Our role is not just to supply a filter but to engineer a solution around the customer’s unique needs."

Tekleen’s expanded focus will guide its corporate communications and strategic priorities. The company will concentrate on four key areas: water conservation, maximizing water reuse and recovery, protecting critical infrastructure, and enhancing operational resilience. This strategy is reflected in Tekleen’s advanced automatic self-cleaning filters, which remove debris in under 10 seconds while maintaining uninterrupted flow during backwash. The systems are engineered for a range of applications, including cooling, manufacturing, reclaimed water, energy, food and beverage, and municipal infrastructure.

"Our dewatering solutions further reduce water loss by recovering additional backwash water and dissolved chemicals, supporting both immediate filtration needs and larger operational objectives," Elyas added.

Founded over 40 years ago, Tekleen has consistently helped industrial, municipal, commercial, and irrigation facilities manage water more responsibly, protect critical infrastructure, and maintain reliable operations. The company’s commitment to innovation and customer-specific solutions positions it as a leader in the water management industry.

Tekleen’s expanded vision underscores its dedication to addressing the complex challenges of water resilience in an increasingly resource-constrained world.
