Our Philosophy


We strive to be your single source for water treatment expertise.  To successfully execute a project this may require content experts from various disciplines.  We
maintain a network of experts to execute projects of any size with a low overhead, collaborative team approach.  Our expert partners include scientists, attorneys, contractors, and permitting experts. This approach couples high quality work products with personal service. 


Aquarius Environmental was founded in early 2008 by Daniel Scarpine. Mr. Scarpine is a licensed professional environmental engineer whose technical expertise and professional experience has been dedicated to the design, development and integration of technologies to treat water in a variety of applications.   For the last 15 years his focus has primarily been on process engineering industrial water applications ranging from recycling facility stormwater to ultra-high purity semiconductor process waters.  Mr. Scarpine is  the primary inventor for several water treatment equipment patents.  He has managed stormwater and wastewater treatment evaluations for facilities in the semiconductor, galvanizing, cold steel rolling, metal recycling, and metal fabrication industries, focusing on the removal of heavy metals, suspended solids, organics as well as pH control.  His significant experience as a construction project manager brings additional negotiation, risk management and execution skills to the projects he manages.
