CEC Innovations

CEC Innovations provides advanced water intelligence solutions that help utilities, industries, and communities identify contaminants of emerging concern in water, wastewater, and biosolids. Their core strength is not only detecting unknown compounds through non-targeted analysis, but interpreting what those compounds mean through a specialized contaminant database that helps identify likely sources, product categories, and potential treatment impacts.

Using high-resolution mass spectrometry, CEC Innovations creates a detailed chemical fingerprint from each sample. Their database then connects detected compounds to likely industrial, commercial, residential, or environmental origins, helping customers move from “what is in the water?” to “where is it likely coming from?” and “how could it affect treatment?” This source-attribution insight supports pretreatment investigations, PFAS source protection, treatment upset troubleshooting, odor and H₂S investigations, and long-term trend monitoring.

With expertise in water-based epidemiology, environmental science, microbiology, chemistry, and data analytics, CEC Innovations supports a One Health through Water approach—recognizing the connection between water quality, human health, environmental protection, and community resilience.

Clipper Controls works with CEC Innovations to bring non-targeted analysis services to customers in California, Nevada, and Hawaii, supporting sampling strategy, pilot program setup, and access to actionable Water Intelligence Reports and dashboards.
