About Prosonix

Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, ProSonix, LLC operates as a specialized manufacturer of direct steam injection heating systems for industrial fluid processing. Founded in 2007, the company has established itself by concentrating on engineered solutions that address complex heating requirements across a variety of sectors. ProSonix serves a broad industrial client base, including the food and beverage, pulp and paper, power generation, energy production, and wastewater treatment industries. The business model is centered on manufacturing and supplying both standard and custom-engineered heating products, generating revenue through the sale of this equipment.

The core of ProSonix's product line is its proprietary Direct Steam Injection (DSI) technology. This technology is embodied in products like the PSX steam injection heater, which features an internally modulated steam control design. A key benefit of this design is its self-cleaning capability, which is particularly advantageous in applications prone to scaling, plugging, or fouling. The system's Radial Multi-port Jet Diffuser ensures uniform heating and can handle a wide range of fluids, from water to high-viscosity sludge and mineral slurries. This method of direct steam injection is engineered for precise temperature control, achieving stability within +/- 1 degree Fahrenheit. The company's offerings are designed to handle flow rates from 1 to 15,000 gallons per minute and can accommodate steam pressures from 15 to 600 psig. ProSonix emphasizes its ability to deliver custom solutions, fabricating systems that meet stringent codes such as ASME, CRN, and PED/SEP requirements.

Applications for their technology are diverse, ranging from Clean-In-Place (CIP) cleaning and on-demand hot water in food processing to more demanding tasks like starch jet cooking for corn wet milling, whitewater heating in paper mills, and sludge heating for anaerobic digestion in wastewater facilities. The company has over three decades of collective team experience in the steam injection heating field, which it leverages to provide tailored solutions rather than just off-the-shelf products.
