Mission Statement
Utilizing cutting-edge technologies to deliver turnkey system
solutions that re-engineer our clients' environmental compliance
practices to provide efficient information and resource management
while saving costs and protecting our environment.
Project Experience
enfoTech maintains close relationships with federal agencies,
states, water utilities, and municipalities, playing a significant
role in the shaping of environmental regulatory standards.
Currently, the state agencies are working to standardize the
method of information exchange in the environmental area.
For e-Environmental under the
e-Government Initiative:
enfoTech delivered the nation's first and only XML and Internet
based electronic environmental system (E2) for e-environmental
applications. The E2 adopts the emerging XML technology and
is consistent with the CROMERR security requirements. We have
successfully implemented the E2 at two large states to streamline
state-wide compliance monitoring reporting from facility-to-state.
Our technical team is ready to share with you our success
stories and help you to become e-environmental.
For Industrial Wastewater Control
and Pretreatment:
enfoTech maintains the national leadership in the development
and implementation of industrial wastewater control and pretreatment
systems. We have successfully implemented the PACS family
of products and services at over 100 water utilities nation-wide
and overseas. Our staff has over 200 man—years of pretreatment
system project experience that uniquely positions us to provide
you with a world-class project team and unsurpassed project
knowledge/experiences for successful project implementation.
For National Environmental
Information Exchange Network (Exchange Network):
The Exchange Network is aimed to
facilitate and make readily available quality environmental
data among the EPA, state agencies, and other partners. With
increased access to environmental data, the involved parties
hope to provide for timely and sound environmental decision-making.
For Pharmaceutical Industry:
enfoTech leads the nation in delivering pharmaceutical industries
with the most comprehensive air emission calculations and
compliance monitoring system for meeting the Title V and MACT
