About Us

SRI delivers premium, field-tested environmental engineering and regulatory compliance solutions backed by over 45 years of specialized operational expertise.

Our History & Executive Leadership

Founded on the principles of practical field chemistry, Solutions Recovery International has evolved into a trusted engineering partner across the United States. Led by senior engineer Ken Ravon, our team bridges the gap between strict environmental regulations and efficient facility operations, successfully guiding major fabrication plants, chemical manufacturers, and municipalities through complex permitting loops.

Our Proven Engineering Philosophy

We maximize your existing infrastructure capacity before recommending major capital expenditures. When new installations are required, SRI designs automated, operator-friendly wastewater systems focused on water conservation, precise pH neutralization, and aggressive sludge minimization. Our technically sound, cost-effective strategies insulate your business from liability while permanently driving down weekly plant operating costs.

Our Core Operational Advantages

SRI combines engineering precision with 45 years of practical field experience to deliver compliant, high-performing wastewater treatment systems that lower overhead costs.

Process Optimization

Upgrading existing system workflows to maximize overall performance and efficiency.

Regulatory Compliance

Securing mandatory environmental permits and ensuring certified code compliance seamlessly.

Water Conservation

Advanced engineering designs built to maximize industrial water recycling loops.

Sludge Minimization

Innovative biological techniques focused on reducing solid waste disposal costs.

Our Four-Step Work Process

Comprehensive Site Evaluation

We conduct an intensive physical and chemical audit of your facility's specific waste streams, mapping out flow variations, identifying potential pollutant vectors, and documenting legacy infrastructure constraints to establish an accurate operational baseline.

Custom Engineering & Design

Our process engineering team develops targeted, cost-effective treatment layouts tailored to your industry's precise chemical matrices. We prioritize automated, operator-friendly technologies that maximize water recycling while aggressively minimizing downstream sludge production.

Regulatory Permitting & Certification

We handle the complex compliance paperwork seamlessly, preparing regulator-ready documentation for CUPA, DTSC, and EPA frameworks. From California Title 22 tank certifications to industrial SWPPPs, we ensure your infrastructure achieves absolute legal validation.

Operational Optimization & Support

Post-installation, we continuously fine-tune your biological and chemical control loops to improve system reliability. Our long-term operational support reduces weekly chemical consumable costs, slashes utility overhead, and guarantees uninterrupted permit compliance.

Client Success & Testimonials

"SRI completely transformed our system reliability, resolving a long-standing compliance bottleneck effortlessly. Their engineering team optimized our existing infrastructure, saving us millions in capital expenditures while perfectly securing our discharge permits against sudden production spikes."

James Bennett Client

"Their Title 22 engineering certification saved us weeks of intense regulatory back-and-forth. The detailed containment calculations and seismic anchoring assessments they provided were completely flawless, making our unannounced CUPA audit a stress-free experience."

Andrew Scott Client

"Integrating Sludge Buster™ dramatically dropped our weekly biosolids hauling and disposal overhead. The biological treatment performance improvements exceeded our expectations, completely eliminating offensive odor complaints while driving down overall plant-wide chemical consumption costs permanently."
