Sparkling Clear Industries (SCI) is pleased to announce that Richard Johnson has joined our organization.  With over 40 years of experience in the design, sales, start-up, and service of water treating equipment and media, Richard is available to provide SCI customers with a comprehensive approach to their water treating needs.

While the majority of his career has centered on ion exchange resins, including both aqueous and nonaqueous applications, he has more recently been involved with iron, manganese, and arsenic removal equipment and media.  Please join us in welcoming Richard to the SCI team.

Russ Williams, SCI Houston sales manager, says, “I am looking forward to working with Richard on filtration projects for our customers – whether they be ion exchange systems, complete turn-key resin change-outs, or the introduction of capital equipment in the form of plant process filtration or side stream filters for cooling towers. 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. We welcome Richard to our team. He is a great addition to a group that is dedicated to providing our customers with the very best in service.”

SCI is a full service filtration company , and we consider ourselves to be problem solvers for our customers.  With a wide range of products and expertise, SCI is able to consolidate vendors for our customers.  Projects range in scope from simple cartridge filters to a 3,000 gpm treatment system for a chemical plant.  SCI also offers injection pumps, air diaphragm pumps,  ceramic catalyst support media, filter aide, carbon, ion exchange resin and so much more.  Please review our filtration products page for a complete listing of our available options.

From Design to Fabrication: We Make It Happen

December 4, 2025
At Sparkling Clear Industries, we take pride in helping our customers solve real problems with practical, reliable solutions. One of our current projects is a great example of what that looks like in action. A local manufacturer came to us with a costly challenge: their wastewater stream contained enough oil and grease that it had to be hauled offsite for treatment. That process was costing them nearly $40,000 every month. Instead of continuing to pay for disposal, they wanted a long-term, on-site solution. Our team got to work.
