Fostering Innovation In Headworks

Some of the more complex wastewater screens — the initial step to removing objects from the incoming stream — are designed around the idea of generating residual business, so they require regular maintenance. That’s what prompted Duperon to invent the FlexRake, which has no lower sprockets, bearings, or tracks to foul or jam.

The company is now working through a full research and development pipeline of newer products with an eye on being a serial disruptor in the industry.

Tammy Bernier, CEO of Duperon, and Terry Duperon, chairman of the board, discuss the way simplicity and company culture foster innovation during this Water Talk interview at WEFTEC 2019.
