Innovation Technologies

Innovation Technologies provides industrial fluid management solutions to companies in the Upper Midwest. Headquartered in the Minneapolis metro area, and partnered with firms in Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio and Illinois, Innovation will take on the most troubling process fluid management issues to: 1) reduce fluid replenishment costs; 2) cut fluid disposal costs; 3) decrease employee health risks (respiratory issues, dermatitis, etc.); 4) reduce safety hazards (thermal events, machine fires, etc.), 5) address environmental concerns; 6) increase tool life; and 7) decrease rejects through improved surface finish. Innovation has its roots in fluid-solid separation technologies originally developed and marketed by the Donaldson Company (DCI) in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. Although the very first products were phased out in the early 1990’s, the original team of DCI engineers continued to develop, patent and market innovative ideas to address what they saw as a market for high-purity liquid-solid and liquid-liquid separation solutions. The end result of all that is a solid base of industrial fluid management expertise, powered in part by: - A core engineering team with more than 35 individual patents in filtration and separation technologies; and separation process engineering - Subject matter expertise with over 400 years of combined experience in research and development, applications engineering, testing, continuation engineering, process engineering, flow management, fluid process control, manufacturing, operations, and integrated marketing. - Proprietary solid-liquid separation technologies, with a proven track record spanning over 45 years and early units still in operation after 30-40 years of service with major global manufacturers.
