Yu Lin, Glanris Water Systems Inc. operates as a developer and manufacturer that gives companies the filtration power of both activated carbon and ion exchange resins, at a fraction of the cost, it cleans water for both uses and reuses in industrial, municipal, and residential applications.

The company has eight employees (five full-time and three part-time) and three contractors.
