ESE manufactures a Hypochlorite Generation System, under the brand name Aquachlor, to sanitize drinking water in the rural areas of developing nations. The company sells seven products based on a unique technology that uses common table salt and either A/C or D/C electricity from its own solar panels to produce the sanitizing agent sodium hypochlorite. Requiring minimal training, its systems are easy to operate and maintain. Equipment & Systems Engineering has an installed base of more than 1,000 units around the world, providing several hundred million liters of safe drinking water every day in 47 countries across North, Central and South America, as well as Africa and Asia.

Jose Masis, CEO Equipment and Systems Engineering Inc., stated “The level of cooperation received from B&K during development was beyond any expectation.” B&K worked tirelessly with ESE to find a solution to the harsh environment and reliability concerns called out in the specifications. B&K willingly provided samples, made requested modifications, provided test results, until a working solution was accomplished. It was a nice change to locate a company that understands the meaning of partnering.
