Environmental Values for Sustainable & Regenerative Industrial Solutions

Sustainable Innovation Through Emissions Control and Energy Efficiency

Environmental Stewardship at Epcon

At Epcon Industrial Systems, environmental responsibility is not a marketing statement—it’s the foundation of our business. As a leading manufacturer of thermal oxidizers, process heating systems, and industrial ovens, our mission is to help clients across industries reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and operate in full compliance with environmental regulations.

For over 45 years, Epcon has provided high-performance air pollution control systems designed to meet or exceed EPA, AQMD, and global emission standards. We specialize in the destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)—ensuring cleaner air, safer work environments, and a healthier planet.

Built for Environmental Compliance and Long-Term Sustainability

Every Epcon system is engineered with the environment in mind. Our technologies enable customers to:

Achieve net-zero discharge or net-positive emissions performance
Minimize carbon footprint through energy-efficient system design
Reduce fuel usage with heat recovery system and energy recirculation solutions
Comply with the most stringent global emissions standards across industries

We serve a wide range of sectors, including aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, metal finishing, and industrial coatings—where clean operations are both a regulatory requirement and a corporate imperative.

Energy Efficiency and Innovation in Every System

Epcon’s proprietary designs integrate energy-saving features that maximize system efficiency and lower environmental impact. Our thermal oxidizer systems (including RTO, DFTO, and recuperative models) are engineered to:

Operate with high destruction efficiency (DRE)
Recover waste heat and reuse it within your process
Reduce operating costs and total energy demand

By enabling manufacturers to do more with less energy, Epcon contributes directly to our clients’ sustainability goals and their long-term environmental strategies.

More Than Compliance—A Commitment to the Planet

At Epcon, environmental protection isn’t just something our products support—it’s a value we live by. From responsible in-house manufacturing practices to ethical material sourcing and lean production methods, we prioritize eco-conscious operations at every level of our company.

Our team continues to invest in:

Advanced research and development for cleaner industrial technologies
Lean manufacturing principles that reduce material waste
Lifecycle system support that keeps equipment running efficiently and cleanly for decades

Partner with an Environmentally Responsible Manufacturer

As environmental regulations tighten and industrial sustainability goals evolve, partnering with a proven, forward-thinking company becomes critical. Epcon is proud to lead the way in providing reliable, scalable, and environmentally sound solutions for industrial manufacturers worldwide.

Air Pollution & Hazard Control

Across the manufacturing sector, air emissions arise from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), acid gases, particulate or dust emissions (including concentrations of mineral and metal oxides) and greenhouse gases (GHGs). Process design and maintenance should focus on containment of fugitive emissions throughout as well as final destruction, ensuring only clean air leaves the production line. As regulations become more stringent globally, we can retrofit existing APC controls to make sure our customers’ operations are clean and compliant.

Promoting Renewables

From creating custom heat-treating ovens for the large Wind Turbines, curing ovens for Solar panels, or pollution control for lithium battery production, Epcon has been supplying critical equipment for the renewable energy industry for decades. In addition, we helped redesign clean coal and powerplants, across the world as they comply with cleaner standards.

Recycling & Waste management

Epcon works with scrap metal recyclers and large waste management operations to not only clean both solid and waterwaste streams contaminated with heavy metals, spent solvents and acids, and toxic VOCs. These operations require specific care to prevent environmental hazards or community health risks, while also providing efficient recycling and processing capacities.

Engineering Net Zero or Net Positive Operations

Epcon always seeks out opportunities to introduce and emphasize energy efficiency measures for all Pollution Control related systems, whether designing new systems or retrofitting an existing system. Epcon holds multiple patents pertaining to pollution control equipment, combined with heat recovery systems, which substantially reduces operating costs, minimizing energy and fuel consumption. In most cases, the energy savings are in the range of 90% to 97%. Epcon has manufactured more than 4300 systems, operating worldwide - most of which achieve net zero discharge or minimally net positive - saving Trillions of BTUs and hundreds of millions of dollars for our customers.

Combating Climate Change

Our main business is preventing Air pollution which contaminates our air and water bodies as it returns as acid rain, but we also combat climate change with projects with a multitude of environmental benefits. For example, our patented thermal deoilers replace the need for cleaning chemicals, such as Tetrachloroethane and reduce industrial wastewater treatment saving hundreds of millions of dollars; our seal pots and oxidizers capture and destroy toxic fumes from Wastewater facilities, while our trailer mounted, and mobile systems are utilized across superfund and brownfield sites for environmental and Soil remediation measures.

Preserving Natural Resources

Not only do Epcon’s Air pollution control systems keep our air clean for breathing and keeps the surrounding water streams clean, from possible acid rain. Through extensive R&D and we can help find new ways to reduce and preserve operating resources. Since 1977, Epcon has designed innovative thermal cleaning systems, for various industrial applications retrofitted systems, for example, industrial parts cleaners, drill pipes and any parts that have heavy cutting oils, do not to use any water at all, eliminating millions of gallons of wastewater and chemical treatment costs and discharge fees. Additionally, we specialized in regenerative and closed systems that utilize complex heat recovery methods and controls to drastically reduce the demand for operating fuel. Many of our systems operate burner less; utilizing waste heat from the Thermal Oxidizers, saving on fuel and electricity consumption. Epcon holds patents to utilize the waste heat to generate steam and utilize the steam turbines to generate electricity; this is called co-generation. A custom engineered system designed to minimize resources and reducing waste levels while maintaining the integrity of the product is what we do best at Epcon.
