Designed and Built in CaliforniaFounded in 1992, all of Aqueous Technologies’ products, are designed and built in California. Our equipment designs are inspired by California's 840 miles of coastline which remind us of the power of water and the importance to protect our environment. Since 1992, Aqueous Technologies has manufactured more than four thousand machines for military, space, aerospace, medical, transportation, and many other high-reliability applications for both OEM’s and contract manufacturers.Aqueous Technologies and the EnvironmentAqueous Technologies believes in designing, manufacturing, and supporting cleaning and cleanliness testing products that are highly effective and that protect the environment. Our efforts save millions of gallons of water annually. All of our cleaning equipment is available in zero discharge configurations, eliminating the need for a drain and a discharge permit. No drain protects the environment while eliminating environmental liability associated with connecting a machine to a drain line.In addition to zero discharge equipment configurations, all of our equipment is manufactured in our zero discharge factory. All water used within our factory to test our equipment is filtered, recycled, and reused. This not only saves hundreds of thousands of gallons of water from being discharged to the drain, it saves the same volume in water usage. We manufacturer green equipment in a green factory. Committed to EducationAqueous Technologies is committed to providing quality non-commercial education to the electronics assembly industry. Through a variety of medias including our monthly Tech-Tuesday webinars, technical conferences, Tips and Tricks video series, and the Reliability Matters Podcast, Aqueous Technologies provides valuable technical information and best-practice educational presentations.www.aqueoustech.com
