Maintaining regulatory compliance in manufacturing and other industrial sectors requires holistic planning, strategic cost-controls, and continual investment in efficient technologies.
The direct costs of compliance can include:
- Capital outlays for air emission control equipment and installation
- NESTEC offers a free evaluation program to assess the air emissions from a facility. Our process is designed to provide the best and most economical solution for your application. We can also offer a range of options to facilitate the selection of technologies tailored to your application. A recent NESTEC evaluation system provided the facility with a unique alternate solution that untapped more than $800,000 in capital savings.
- Ongoing, operational expenses
- NESTEC offers several unique features to minimize both fuel and electrical costs:
- Structured media, which reduces the overall electrical consumption by as much as 40% to 50%
- Up to 96% thermal energy recovery (TER) design to achieve a self-sustaining operation based on the exhaust hydrocarbon concentration, thus eliminating/minimizing fuel costs
- Natural Gas Enhancement (NGE), a system that augments the inlet BTU value of the exhaust stream to achieve a balanced mass flow through the regenerative heat exchange media, reducing fuel consumption
- Thermal Alignment control programming to fine tune the mass balance flow, which also reduces energy and fuel consumption
- Secondary heat recovery systems for further energy savings from reduced energy consumption
- NESTEC offers several unique features to minimize both fuel and electrical costs:
In one application, the combined advantages of these options provided a savings over $399,808 per year in operating cost with a simple pay back of 4 ½ months.

On the back end, businesses that do not invest up front in compliance may find themselves subjected to noncompliance fines, legal costs, and liability for air emissions.
Environmental compliance is no longer a business expense that can be readily rolled into your general operating budget. Businesses need to allocate resources, including adequate staffing and supporting services, specifically for air emission control compliance.
If you have an application that requires air pollution control and/or energy conservation, or an existing RTO/RCO or WESP that needs fine tuning to provide additional energy savings, and uptime reliability, contact NESTEC for a free process analysis and proposal.
