CARUS LLC

CARUS LLC specializes in the manufacturing and delivery of high-purity inorganic chemical compounds critical to water treatment and infrastructure protection, with a primary focus on phosphoric acid (75%) and sodium permanganate. The company provides mission-critical reagents used in advanced oxidation processes, corrosion control, and disinfection systems within federal water infrastructure, particularly for the Washington Aqueduct and Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant. Their technical expertise lies in consistent production of pharmaceutical-grade inorganic chemicals meeting stringent federal specifications, ensuring compliance with EPA and Army Corps of Engineers standards for potable water systems. CARUS LLC’s key differentiator is its ability to deliver batch-to-batch consistency, just-in-time logistics, and long-term supply continuity for chemically sensitive, high-volume applications in public health infrastructure. The contractor maintains a deep, sustained relationship with the Department of Defense, supplying essential water treatment chemicals to military and federal water facilities. Their work supports the operational readiness of DoD installations by ensuring reliable access to purified water through chemical dosing systems that remove manganese, iron, and organic contaminants. This recurring engagement reflects a trusted partnership built on adherence to military logistics protocols and stringent quality control for hazardous materials handling. CARUS LLC operates primarily under NAICS 325180, which encompasses the production of basic inorganic chemicals not classified elsewhere. In practice, this translates to precision manufacturing of industrial-grade reagents used in municipal and federal water purification, wastewater remediation, and environmental compliance programs. The company is positioned as a niche supplier within the federal water infrastructure market, serving agencies that require chemically pure, regulated substances for public health protection. As a Women-Owned Small Business and Woman-Owned Business certified entity based in Peru, Illinois, CARUS LLC leverages its small business status to provide agile, responsive supply solutions to federal agencies. Its geographic location supports efficient distribution across the Midwest and Eastern U.S., with operations calibrated to meet federal procurement and hazardous material transport requirements.
