Three generations. One shared commitment.
At Pielkenrood, water treatment is a family legacy. From grandfather to father to son, specialist knowledge, entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to quality have been passed down through three generations.
Today, Sander Pielkenrood builds on the work of his grandfather and father, Simon. Together, these generations have shaped a business where experience informs innovation and personal commitment underpins every customer relationship.
We think beyond the next project, investing in lasting partnerships and engineering solutions that continue to perform.
Family expertise. Global experience.
A family name behind every solution.
Our family’s entrepreneurial roots reach back to 1895. Since 1962, we have applied that spirit to oil–water separation and water treatment, developing specialist expertise that serves customers worldwide.
For us, the Pielkenrood name carries a personal responsibility: to understand your challenge, engineer the right solution and deliver what we promise. That commitment guides our work with major oil and gas companies, tank terminals and EPC contractors; from new installations to improvements of existing plants.
Our heritage
A family tradition of moving forward.
The Pielkenrood story began in 1895 with a blacksmith’s workshop and an entrepreneurial spirit. Successive generations have carried that spirit forward, combining practical craftsmanship with new ideas. Today, it lives on in water treatment solutions built on decades of family knowledge and engineering experience.

Sustainability & quality
Designed for efficiency. Built for the long term.
As a family business, we think in generations. Since entering water treatment in 1962, we have invested in developing systems that combine effective treatment with efficient use of energy, space and resources.
That long-term approach shapes every design: dependable equipment, accessible maintenance and carefully selected treatment processes that help customers manage operating costs throughout the life of their installation.
Energy efficiency
Treatment systems designed to minimise energy demand, optimise performance and reduce operating costs.
Local partnerships
We work with local fabricators and contractors, supporting local expertise and reducing transport requirements.

Quality management in accordance with ISO 9001:2015, with clear procedures for engineering, fabrication, inspection and delivery.
