A New Approach to Wastewater Disposal: Cost-Effective Solutions for Non-Hazardous Industrial Wastewater Generators

Formed in 2005, NewStream is an environmental services company specializing in high technology industrial wastewater treatment and high purity process water. Originally built for Texas Instruments (TI), the facility has a treatment capacity of up to 800 gallons per minute of wastewater and the ability to deliver 325 gpm of high purity process water. Rather than let the state-of-the-art facility be razed, the founders of NewStream have transformed the former single-user facility into a successful commercial enterprise. Having received the first permit of its type ever to be issued in Massachusetts, NewStream now receives an average of 10 truckloads per day of non-hazardous wastewater from off-site sources. Additionally, the same network of pipelines that once allowed all of TI's on-site manufacturing operations to send their wastewater to the plant now allows NewStream to treat wastewater from tenants on site.
