Environment, Climate, Energy

Minimizing waste and controlling emissions is a constant challenge for all companies.  MEGTEC is devoted to identifying cost-effective solutions for total energy and environmental performance. We developed a broad range of clean technologies that save resources, promote sustainability, ensure compliance and reduce energy consumption.

MEGTEC’s proven history of providing operational cost savings, together with a progressive focus on integrating environmental solutions gives today’s customer technically advanced ways to achieve total peak performance while surpassing regulatory compliance.

Solvent Recovery Systems

As manufacturers strive to comply with requirements regulating solvents, MEGTEC aids their efforts with reliable and cost-effective systems for removal, recovery and reuse. 

MEGTEC's vapor-phase Carbon Adsorption Systems purify, separate and recover up to 99% of solvent emissions for re-use to reduce costs by virtually eliminating solvent expense, while exceeding regulatory requirements. 

Solvent Distillation Systems

Separating and purifying solvent mixtures is critical for reuse and our complete extractive and azeotropic multi-component distillation systems are the preferred choice in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as many specialty, advanced materials applications.

Energy Management and Recovery

MEGTEC applies its expertise to help customers save energy and dramatically reduce operating costs through better thermal air management for air-to-air process heating, steam production through waste heat boilers and make-up air systems. Our compact Process Heat Recovery (PHR) system uses clean, heated air from the process or oxidizer and returns it for use as supplemental building heat, or return to the process for new and existing lines.

- Secondary heat recovery systems –stand-alone or integrated systems

Methane Control and Energy Production

Customers generate valuable energy savings and carbon credits with MEGTEC technologies that recover energy from methane emissions from a variety of sources including landfills, coal mines, and bio-fuel plants.

-Flameless VOCSIDIZER oxidation system converts methane and recovers the energy as superheated steam for turbine generation to electricity.

Biological VOC Abatement

MEGTEC biological VOC abatement systems use naturally occurring microbes as a cost-effective method to abate VOCs and odors for a wide range of solvents used in different industries.

- Bioreactor and Bioscrubber systems use microbes that consume VOCs as a carbon source for cell growth and reproduction -- the output is carbon dioxide, water and energy. 

Environmental Services

Environmental equipment lifetime services include energy optimization studies, environmental monitoring and reporting, catalyst testing and supply including bead and monolith retrofits to any catalytic oxidizer.
