| Puckorius
& Associates, Inc.
specializes in delivering water treatment consulting services to all
water-using industries. We have no affiliations with water treatment
suppliers and thus provide unbiased evaluations and recommendations to all
clients. P&A maintains company offices in Arvada, Colorado
(corporate headquarters); and Sebring, FL. Since 1976, P&A has provided complete and detailed advice to the industrial user. We have emphasized in-depth aid to the users of cooling water but also offer a wide range of services and assistance to users of cooling water, boiler water, wastewater, reuse water, and process water. We have maintained long-term relationships with many clients, resulting in both direct cost savings for chemical treatment and indirect cost savings resulting from energy savings, capital cost postponement or avoidance, lower maintenance costs (other than water treatment chemicals and field service), and increased productivity.
