Air Pollution Control Solutions for the Industries That Demand the Most
Every market has unique emissions challenges. PCC engineers the right system for yours.
PCC Group has spent more than 50 years solving emission control problems across the most demanding industrial environments in the world. Our systems aren't pulled from a catalog — they're engineered to the specific waste streams, regulatory requirements, and operating conditions of the industries we serve. From high-moisture pulp mill exhausts to the corrosive, variable-composition gas streams found in specialty chemical processing, PCC brings application-specific expertise to every project.
BioChar & BioCarbon
Large, fully integrated systems are often needed for biochar and biocarbon plants.
Chemical & Specialty Process
Robust air pollution control systems are required in manufacturing processes.
Markets Served
Chemical
Technologies to treat waste streams from Basic Chemicals (organic and inorganic chemicals, plastic resins, dyes, and pigments), Specialty Chemicals (adhesives and sealants, water treatment chemicals, plastic additives, catalysts and coatings) and the Agriculture Chemical manufacturing process.
Petrochemical
Treatment of waste streams from chemical products derived from petroleum. Specializing in Acrylonitrile and Acrylic Acid processes by using multi-staged technology which results in exceptionally low NOx levels.
Refining
Systems to control the waste stream from processes where a crude or semi-finished substance (such as metal, oil, or sugar) is converted (refined) into a finished or higher-grade product.
Automotive
PCC’s technical solutions meet all aspects of Tier I, Tier II and Tier III manufacturing processes associated with the automotive industry. Treatment areas range from Dynamometer engine test stations to spray paint booth VOC elimination.
Pharmaceutical
PCC offers alternative solutions to treat a wide range of process in the Pharmaceutical industry. Thermal and Biological Oxidation technologies, including Flameless Thermal Oxidation (FTO) are possible options.
Textile
PCC's diverse Oxidation technologies provide the end user with options specific to the treatment of dyes, flame-retardants and other chemical treatments used in the manufacturing and treatment of textiles.
Landfill Gas
PCC offers several options for the treatment of off-gases and other wastes associated with the purification and enhanced processing of landfill and digester gases. From simple to very complex systems, PCC can provide a suitable solution.
Converting
PCC has a full range of oxidation/combustion technologies to treat off-gases for most processes associated with the conversion of raw materials into products.
Metals
Multiple combustion/oxidation technologies make-up the PCC Solution for industries that are required to treat off-gases from the manufacturing processes specific to the production of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and zinc; and ferrous materials such as steel.
Food
PCC’s Oxidation Systems offer both biological and thermal options for the treatment of off-gases and other waste streams associated with the processing, conversion, preparation, preservation, and packaging of foods, food by-products, additives, and beverages.
Biochar
PCC offers a full range of APC equipment to process and destroy emissions from waste streams (biogas, pyrolysis gas, syngas) coming from the production of biochar.
Sulfur
PCC provides oxidation / combustion technologies engineered to treat waste streams emanating from the removal of sulfur contaminants from natural gas and petroleum.
Engineered Wood Products
PCC’s unique ability to offer technology options for the treatment of compounds, adhesives and naturally occurring compounds that are present in the off-gas waste streams from the drying and pressing applications utilized in the EWP industry. Biological and thermal options are available to meet the control requirements of the manufacturer.
Carbon
PCC offers a full range of technologies used to treat waste streams generated in the manufacture and refining of both activated carbon, carbon fibers, and carbon black.
Metal Shredding
PCC's Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) effectively reduces emissions from the capture of VOC's in the metal shredding process.
Asphalt
PCC has extensive practical and industry experience in reducing emissions generated from blow stills and other fume tanks in the production of asphalt/roofing materials.
In Pittsburgh, innovation isn’t an option. It’s a requirement.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: “The Steel City,” “The City of Bridges,” “Most Livable City,” and home to Process Combustion Corporation (PCC) headquarters since 1969.
Our 50-year history gives us the experience to understand our customer’s needs and concerns and design our equipment to solve their problems. We also strive to move forward with a culture that consistently invents new and better ways to do what we do: engineer, design, and manufacture combustion heat transfer and pollution control systems for industries worldwide.
