ONG Consulting, LLC

Business Summary

ONG Consulting, LLC, based in Rockwall, Texas, provides engineered, long-term prevention of zebra mussels, quagga mussels and Asiatic clams in raw water intakes and transmission lines. Its Fortress Mussel Control Systems use industrial-grade electrolysis to generate copper ions from nothing but water and electricity. The ions are injected at the intake at ultra-low doses, as low as 10 to 15 parts per billion and far below the EPA drinking water limit of 1,300 ppb, where they stop mussels at every life stage, from veligers to adults, and keep them from settling throughout the piping system. Patented Cu-Dose technology paces the dose to changing water flow in real time, so there's no over- or under-treatment. There are no liquid chemicals to store or handle, no corrosion of piping and heat exchangers, and no detoxification of discharge water. Systems are manufactured in the United States, run automatically from a password-protected touch-screen controller, integrate with SCADA and plant management software, and use compact, self-cleaning stainless steel ionization chambers that each treat up to 20 MGD. Municipal water utilities, industrial plants and power plants use them to protect intake screens, pipes and heat transfer surfaces while also improving control of algae and microbial-induced corrosion. Case studies on the company's site cover work with Austin Water, the Brazos River Authority at Stillhouse Hollow Lake, Lake Georgetown and Brushy Creek MUD. The team's approach is summed up in its motto: Think. Collaborate. Solve.
