With his knowledge of resins and equipment, Richard will be an asset to any plant that requires our supplies and services.”

Richard and Sparkling Clear have teamed up on numerous projects over the years, including equipment for refineries, chemical plants, food processing, and pharmaceutical companies.  Ed Wasser, President of SCI, states: “With the many projects we have underway and the exciting opportunities along the Gulf Coast, we are very upbeat.

Industrial Filtration Rental Equipment: Supporting Increased Production on the Houston Ship Channel

February 24, 2026
Production demands can change quickly, especially in chemical manufacturing. Recently, one of our customers on the Houston Ship Channel reached out with an urgent need for increased liquid filtration capacity. Their facility required a multi-round bag filter housing to support higher production rates. Because we maintain rental equipment at our Clute facility, we were able to respond quickly. The 12-round bag filter housing was loaded onto our truck Friday morning and delivered to their facility that same afternoon, helping them move forward without delay. No extended lead times. No waiting on freight. No production bottleneck.
