About Us

FORSI – Filtration Opportunities Release Smart Innovations

FORSI Innovations is the brainchild of Terry Hawes, running the company alongside his sons Craig and Darren Hawes.

There are many filtration systems available in New Zealand – imported from abroad – creating a boxed solution for an outside the box problem. Terry saw a severe lack of customised filtration solutions to meet the requirements of New Zealand dairy farmers, and with his extensive background in agriculture and engineering, Terry designed filtration systems to meet these needs.

Extensive and continual research and development has been invested into creating these systems. No two filters are the same, each unit is specially designed to meet the needs of every customer and environment.

It is through this research and development, FORSI now has one of New Zealand’s most advanced water filtration systems on the market. The systems utilise the latest technology from Grundfos, NORGREN, Pneumatics and other reputable equipment suppliers.

FORSI has also been working towards the filtration of dairy effluent, turning this wastewater into two highly valuable resources – clean dry compostable solids for fertiliser, and clean clear water for irrigation or re-use in the dairy shed. This water has no odours, pathogens, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, total nitrogen and phosphorous, enabling the water to be discharged direct to the waterways if needed without prosecution.

We know of no other filtration system that can take the wash-down water directly from the cowshed yard and process for reuse to this high standard.
