Fournier
About
Fournier Industries (Groupe Industries Fournier inc.) is a Canadian manufacturer based in Thetford Mines, Quebec, with over 400 employees serving water treatment, mining, aluminum smelting, and general industrial markets. The company's flagship product is the Fournier Rotary Press, a continuous sludge dewatering system using parallel rotating filtering elements available in 1-to-8 channel configurations that produces dry cake with low energy and polymer consumption, sealed odor-free operation, and 24/7 automated capability. The Rotary Press handles municipal and industrial sludges including food processing, pulp and paper, and septage. Complementary water treatment products include the Full Auto Filter-Press for achieving high cake dryness from abrasive sludges, Polysys polymer preparation system for optimizing dewatering chemistry, bolted storage tanks built to API 650 standards, welded tanks and silos for chemical and process applications, and high-performance anaerobic digesters. Fournier also provides mobile rental dewatering units, pilot testing equipment, and free sludge analysis services. Beyond water, the company manufactures aluminum smelter consumables and material handling equipment. All products are designed and manufactured in Quebec under the vertically integrated Fournier Build brand, which provides design-through-installation services.
Key Products
