What Is Trionetics and What Does the Company Do?
Updated
Trionetics is a full-service manufacturer of customized industrial water treatment and wastewater treatment systems, founded in 1987 and based in Brooklyn Heights, Ohio. The company designs and builds highly automated, user-friendly equipment for water purification, wastewater treatment and recycling, and plating lines, and it serves industries including electronics, printed circuit boards, automotive, aerospace, food and beverage, canning, metal finishing, and mining. If you are evaluating suppliers for an industrial water treatment project, Trionetics is a custom-equipment builder rather than a seller of off-the-shelf consumer products.
What Trionetics makes
The company describes itself as a full-service manufacturer and lists the following product lines:
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Membrane filtration | Membrane-based separation for water treatment |
| Media filtration | Filtration through filter media |
| Water softening | Hardness removal |
| Selective IX systems | Ion exchange targeting selected contaminants |
| Deionization systems | Removal of dissolved ions |
| Electrodeionization | Continuous ion removal using electric current |
| Electrowinning | Recovery of metals from solution by electrolysis |
| Rotacat | Listed as a Trionetics product line |
| Industrial wastewater treatment | Treatment and recycling of industrial wastewater |
| Custom equipment design | Purpose-built systems for specific treatment goals |
It also supplies consumables and offers custom equipment design as a service, which matters if your treatment goal does not map cleanly onto a standard product.
How the company positions itself
Trionetics emphasizes three things:
- Custom development. The company says its ability to meet any water treatment goal comes from custom product development and experience with hundreds of clients.
- Automation and ease of use. It describes its systems as highly automated and user-friendly.
- Build quality. Every system starts with a stainless steel skid intended to resist corrosion from the chemicals and moisture present in water treatment systems.
The company cites more than 30 years of experience (founded 1987) and a diverse client base across the industries listed above.
When Trionetics is a fit — and when it may not be
Trionetics is worth contacting if you need a treatment system tailored to a specific industrial process, particularly in plating, metal finishing, electronics manufacturing, or wastewater recycling, and you want a manufacturer that also handles custom design. Its product range covers both purification (deionization, electrodeionization, softening, filtration) and wastewater-side recovery (electrowinning, industrial wastewater treatment), so a single supplier can address multiple stages of a process.
It is likely a weaker fit if you need a standardized, catalog-priced package with published specifications, or if you are a household or small commercial buyer — the site presents industrial systems and custom engineering, not consumer products. The available site information does not include pricing, lead times, or detailed capacity specifications, so those questions need to go directly to the company.
How to take the next step
The site provides a contact path and a mailing list signup. Before reaching out, it helps to prepare:
- Your water source and target water quality (what must be removed, and to what level).
- Flow rate and operating schedule.
- Whether the goal is discharge compliance, water reuse, or metals recovery.
- Any footprint, automation, or materials constraints (for example, corrosion resistance).
With those inputs, a custom-design manufacturer can tell you which of its product lines applies and whether a standard configuration or a custom build is appropriate. Contact details listed on the site: 4924 Schaaf Lane, Brooklyn Hts., Ohio 44131; phone 216-812-3570.
