What our customers are saying...

"The pumps at West Point Treatment Plant are massive and old. They were recently lifted by crane and transported to local refurbisher B&K. B&K retains specialized knowledge of these systems and quickly replaced and repaired parts. They are allowing us to keep these pumps running for another 20 years or more.”

- Wade Phillips, Plant Engineer, King County Wastewater Treatment Division

"Replacing check valves with P19 solenoid operated valves solved a 40-year problem! They resolved the degassing issues and took out some pressure drop from the lines. Vertellus Corporate Engineering Manager Jim Beerbower wants to get your solution out to other Vertellus plants."

- Wally Sande, Engineer, Vertellus

"I normally don't write these types of emails, but I have to say it is a pleasure having your company as a vendor. James Burkhart is our salesman and has helped get our pumps repaired, switch us to mechanical seals, and recommended compressor service. With B&K, we have no problems, where we used to have several B&K to respond. Thank you."
