Client: Linn Products – Charlotte, MI
Client Challenge: Linn is an aluminum parts supplier with more than 210,000 square feet of combined operations space in two adjacent facilities in Charlotte, Michigan, about 20 miles southwest of Lansing. Linn provides custom-engineered aluminum extrusions for automotive, architectural and manufacturing clients in the United States, Canada, Japan, China, Mexico and Europe. Parts are anodized in chemical baths to enhance their durability. Linn had used an older reverse-osmosis system for water quality, but that system was not able to keep up with demand, so they contacted Besco. Besco Solution: Besco management and engineers met extensively with the Linn project engineers to devise a strategy that would suit Linn’s growing needs. As a result, Besco installed a reverse-osmosis system capable of handling 43,000 gallons per day, or 30 gallons per minute, using eight-inch membranes. The reverse-osmosis system was built on a small frame, due to the space limitations Linn had in its manufacturing facility. Besco prides itself on its ability to design flexible solutions that meet clients’ needs for the present and future.
