At Herschell Environmental, we believe in the benefit that new processes and technologies offer to water and wastewater treatment system owners and operators and the critical value of sound engineering practices. We are committed to ethical business practices and exceeding customer expectations. It was on this foundation that the firm was founded in 2003 by Judith Herschell, owner and President. We work hard to further the vision of bringing products and services to water and wastewater facilities in North America.
The firm began by providing on-site services and pilot testing to the North American water treatment market. That focus was expanded over time to include a broader base of technical and commercial services such as business development, strategic planning, project commissioning, system review and optimization, process engineering and mechanical engineering.
