Hydro Parts Solutions Announces New Purpose-Built Facility
Hydro’s newest expansion in Texas is a purpose-built facility with reverse engineering capabilities and greater ability to provide both cast and machined parts.
Nederland, TX. — Wednesday, December 27, 2023 — Hydro Parts Solutions (HPS), a subsidiary of Hydro, Inc., opened the doors of its new Nederland facility in June 2023. HPS announced immediate availability to support customers with emergency part solutions. Using their extensive experience in reverse engineering and casting technology, HPS manufactures high quality parts, including difficult-to-source or obsolete components. The combination of in-house expertise and partnerships with local foundries allows them to provide industry-leading lead times, maintain strict quality control, and produce all parts in the USA.
Embracing technology at every step, HPS offers casting simulations, CNC aluminum, investment, and 3D printed patterns, bleeding edge reverse engineering techniques, and a post-machining equivalency analysis. This commitment to advanced technology, stringent tolerances, and rigorous process documentation ensures that the parts they provide customers with are accurate and consistent.
“Being conveniently located so close to the Golden Triangle, we have a great advantage with local partnerships and proximity to materials,” said Travis Puente, Operations Manager at HPS, “and the foundries we’ve partnered with, we’ve thoroughly qualified for quality and efficiency.”

State of the Art Parts- Rerated Impeller
Hydro Parts Solutions recently manufactured three impellers for a rerate project being developed through Hydro’s Rocky Mountain service center in Denver, CO. Hydro Global Engineering determined the new hydraulic design for the rerated pump, which required modifications to the casing and new impellers.
The end user chose to have the new impellers manufactured out of CA6NM using investment casting, which provides a smoother surface finish to slightly increase the impeller efficiency. Hydro Parts Solutions drove the project from casting package design through final machining, with the impellers being cast and finish-machined within 6 weeks.
The new pump design was successfully tested at Hydro’s performance test lab, validating the new hydraulics. The custom performance will help the midstream end user achieve their desired system flow with maximum reliability and minimum energy usage.
