- Halogen Systems is an Incline Village based company that is getting ready to make a move to Reno to expand on their advanced and environmentally friendly chlorine sensors that have advanced into wastewater and drinking water treatment facilities. The company began creating sensors for ballast water in ships to prevent invasive species in water, and after transforming a once singular use sensor into technology that can be used in a variety of water types, their sensors were able to adapt and grow. Sales Executive Michael Travis Silveri explained that the sensors will help save billions of gallons of water per year by eliminating the waste stream. With the Halogen Systems sensor, it's estimated that at least four million gallons of water will be saved through eliminating this tiny stream. (Tahoe Daily Tribune)
