Turnkey Treatment Platforms

Complete Containerized Treatment Systems

Fliteway designs and builds complete environmental treatment systems packaged inside custom enclosures of every scale — from small portable trailers to full-size prefabricated buildings. The entire treatment train is fabricated, wired, programmed, and tested in our Cudahy, Wisconsin facility, then shipped ready for hookup and start-up.

Every System, Packaged for the Field

A containerized system is more than a treatment train bolted to a skid. It is a purpose-built enclosure — insulated, lit, climate-controlled, contained, and electrified — with the complete process, controls, and safety package installed and proven before it leaves the shop. For the site team, a containerized delivery means setting the unit in place, connecting utilities, and walking through start-up, not coordinating mechanical, electrical, controls, and HVAC trades across weeks of field work.

Fliteway has been containerizing remediation equipment for decades. We build the structure, the process piping, the electrical distribution, the control panels, and the instrumentation under one roof, which lets us test the system as a whole before it ships. When the project calls for something bigger than a standard shipping container, we scale up to prefabricated buildings. When the project calls for something smaller or mobile, we scale down to trailers. The treatment train drives the enclosure, never the other way around.

This is the work we are happiest doing: complete, coordinated, tested systems that arrive ready to run.

Enclosure Types

Fliteway sizes the enclosure to the project. Every platform below includes factory-installed mechanical, electrical, controls, and safety systems — the only decision is how mobile, how large, and how permanent the deployment needs to be.

Portable Trailers

Small DOT-compliant trailers for pilot testing, emergency response, and short-duration or relocating projects. Quick-disconnect utility connections, cam-lock piping, and plug-and-play electrical let a crew mobilize, operate, and demobilize without permanent infrastructure. Ideal for investigations, stop-gap treatment, and proof-of-concept deployments.

Semi-Truck & 53-ft Mobile Trailers

Road-legal 48-ft and 53-ft dry-van and flatbed platforms for mobile treatment programs that move between sites. Full climate control, LED lighting, vent fans, insulation, secondary containment, and a single lockable access point. Fliteway has delivered 25-GPM PFAS treatment trailers on this platform for multi-site remediation programs.

Standard CONEX Shipping Containers

Modified 8-ft, 10-ft, 20-ft, and 40-ft ISO shipping containers for permanent and semi-permanent installations. Weather-tight, secure, stackable, and shippable by truck, rail, or sea. The most common platform for long-term SVE, groundwater, and PFAS treatment systems. Interior outfitted with insulation, lighting, HVAC, and the full treatment train.

Double-Size & Combined Enclosures

Double-wide, side-by-side, or end-to-end container configurations when a single CONEX cannot fit the treatment train. Used for higher-flow SVE, combined vapor and water treatment, and systems with large ancillary equipment (compressors, oxidizers, heat exchangers). All piping and electrical are coordinated across enclosures for a single unified tie-in.

Full-Size Prefabricated Buildings

Purpose-built modular buildings for the largest and most permanent deployments — multi-process treatment plants, long-term O&M facilities, and installations that need integrated office, instrumentation, and storage space alongside the treatment system. Engineered to local structural, electrical, and fire codes and delivered turnkey.

Custom Hybrid Configurations

Some projects call for a hybrid — a CONEX tied into a skid pad, a trailer paired with a containerized blower package, or a building with an attached tank farm. Fliteway engineers the entire delivery as one coordinated package so the site team receives a single turnkey system no matter how many enclosures it spans.

What’s Inside Every Enclosure

Regardless of the outer shell, a Fliteway containerized delivery includes the same coordinated package of mechanical, electrical, controls, and safety systems — all installed, wired, and tested in our shop before the unit ships.

Process Train

Blowers, pumps, treatment vessels, moisture separators, phase separators, air strippers, GAC vessels, chemical feed systems, piping, valves, and instrumentation — all selected, sized, and integrated for the project’s specific flow, pressure, and contaminant profile.

Electrical & Controls

Main disconnect, distribution panel, motor control center, VFDs, and a UL 508A-listed control panel. PLC- or relay-based logic with an HMI, safety interlocks, alarm annunciation, and remote telemetry for off-site monitoring. Single utility tie-in point for the site electrician.

Climate & Lighting

Spray-foam sound and thermal insulation on walls and ceiling, unit heaters for freeze protection, thermostat-controlled ventilation, interior LED lighting, and GFCI receptacles. Year-round operation in any climate, with bed-liner non-slip floor coating for safe personnel access.

Containment & Safety

Secondary containment with leak detection switch, E-Stop, fire extinguisher, lockable personnel access doors, equipment guards, and all labeling and signage required for operator safety and regulatory compliance.

Design, Build, Test, Ship

Every containerized project follows the same disciplined workflow — from concept through factory acceptance testing to field start-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a containerized treatment system?
A containerized treatment system is a complete environmental treatment platform — blowers, pumps, piping, treatment vessels, electrical, controls, instrumentation, lighting, HVAC, and safety systems — all pre-installed and tested inside a transportable enclosure before it ever reaches the project site. Fliteway builds these enclosures at every scale: small portable trailers, DOT-compliant semi-truck trailers, 20-ft and 40-ft CONEX shipping containers, double-wide enclosures, and full-size prefabricated buildings. Containerization moves the vast majority of mechanical, electrical, and controls work from the field into a controlled shop environment, which shortens commissioning, reduces rework, and gives the site team a single coordinated package to install.
What sizes do your containerized systems come in?
Fliteway engineers each enclosure to the project rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all footprint. Typical options include small portable trailers for pilot tests and rapid-response deployments; 40-ft and 53-ft semi-truck trailers for mobile treatment platforms that move between sites; 8-ft, 10-ft, 20-ft, and 40-ft CONEX-style shipping containers for permanent and semi-permanent installations; double-stacked or side-by-side containers for higher-capacity systems; and full-size prefabricated buildings when the site calls for a purpose-built treatment facility. Every enclosure is sized around the treatment train inside, not the other way around.
What is included inside a Fliteway containerized system?
A typical Fliteway containerized system includes the complete process train (blowers, pumps, treatment vessels, separators, piping, and instrumentation), a pre-wired electrical distribution panel, PLC- or relay-based controls with an HMI, motor starters and VFDs, safety interlocks and alarms, interior lighting, GFCI receptacles, spray-foam insulation, HVAC and unit heaters for year-round operation, bed-liner non-slip floor coating, secondary containment with leak detection, personnel access doors, and lockable exterior doors. Every connection the field electrician and mechanical contractor need is terminated and labeled at a single point of entry.
How does containerization speed up project delivery?
Because Fliteway fabricates, wires, programs, and tests the entire system inside the enclosure at our Cudahy, Wisconsin facility, field commissioning typically compresses from weeks of coordinated trades work into a few days of hookup and start-up. Factory acceptance testing (FAT) verifies pressure integrity, instrumentation loops, controls logic, motor operation, and alarms before the enclosure ships, so on-site work is limited to placement, utility tie-ins, and start-up walkdowns. For rental and emergency-response projects, a pre-built containerized system can be on the road within days.
