Custom Systems & Equipment Design

Since 1970, Alar has manufactured equipment to suit hundreds of different water applications. The machinery contains over 50 patents and years of engineering research and development.

Determining the right filter type and treatment cycle is only part of the solution. Building layouts, electrical configuration, discharge points of water and solids, computer hardware and software, and safety standards all play a role in building a dewatering system.

The engineering department employs design, mechanical, and electrical engineers that can design and build a system to match the customer's specifications.
