Case Study: ClearStream Environmental, Inc. achieves 25% improved water/sludge separation and rapid sales growth with SolidWorks

Advancing Water Treatment Technology With Integrated SolidWorks Solutions

ClearStream Environmental Inc, a water treatment system developer founded in 2002, needed to differentiate itself from legacy competitors by automating system development and advancing treatment effectiveness beyond traditional 2D CAD methods. To do this the company adopted SolidWorks solutions—using SolidWorks Professional, SolidWorks Premium and SolidWorks Flow Simulation for 3D design, simulation and CFD analysis (with TactonWorks for product configuration)—to enable faster, more visual and more accurate engineering.

By implementing SolidWorks tools, ClearStream automated proposal and design workflows, cutting proposal time from about a day and a half to a few hours and delivering systems four to eight weeks faster than competitors. The SolidWorks-based approach also produced measurable performance and business gains: 25% improved water/sludge separation efficiency, 100% annual sales growth for seven consecutive years, and sales closing rates of roughly 90–100% thanks to compelling 3D visuals.
