Kevin Gottschalk

Kevin Gottschalk has forty years of industrial water treatment experience to help customers solve their most critical plant and operational challenges. 

He has a wide range of experience from raw material sourcing and management of key supplier relationships; formulating new products, marketing, and product line management; to end-user application and “best practice” implementation.  He has held various roles of increasing responsibility in sales, product management, marketing, and technical field support.  Kevin has several US application patents in both industrial and process water treatment, all aimed at improving the conditioning of water and air in a plant’s operation.

Kevin has worked for several major chemical companies, including Olin, Drew/Ashland, and most recently ChemTreat, with a focus on water and energy conservation and plant asset optimization.  His experience spans both horizontally, in understanding utility water management (pre-treatment, cooling, boiler, and wastewater, and the chemical and equipment technologies involved) and vertically, in the refinery, petrochemical, district energy, mineral processing, paper, and food industries.
