What ANGUIL does

Anguil Environmental Systems, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned industrial environmental equipment manufacturer founded in 1978 and headquartered in Brown Deer, a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company designs and fabricates thermal and catalytic oxidation technologies—Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs), Catalytic Oxidizers, Thermal Recuperative Oxidizers, Direct-Fired Oxidizers, and Rotor Concentrators—alongside fully integrated wastewater treatment systems (marketed as Anguil Aqua) for the destruction of VOCs, HAPs, ethylene oxide, methane, and other industrial pollutants. A 2020 partnership with Siemens produced an IIoT platform on Mindsphere for remote monitoring, anomaly detection, and KPI reporting on installed equipment.

The company serves 18 industrial verticals including automotive and battery manufacturing, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, mining, food and beverage, printing and packaging, refining, composites, and remediation, with named customers such as Ford, Wrigley, Hyundai, Formosa Chemical, Mercury Marine, GM3 Appin Mine, and Kirtland Air Force Base. Operations span the United States (Milwaukee headquarters, Cincinnati via the 2024 Young & Bertke acquisition), India (wholly owned subsidiary incorporated June 2020 in Gujarat), China, Taiwan, the United Kingdom (through Spooner Industries), and Australia (through Gasco Pty Ltd), with over 1,500 pollution control systems installed worldwide. Revenue is generated primarily through custom-engineered equipment sales supplemented by a recurring aftermarket services business (24/7 service, parts, retrofits, and Master Service Plans covering all makes and models) and licensing/design fees from European EPC partners. Distribution is driven by an enterprise field sales motion through direct sales engineers, a global sales representative network, and regional channel partners.

Functional benefit

Brands

• Beacon™: Joint program with Harper International offering Carbon Fiber manufacturers ability to evaluate carbon footprint of manufacturing processes and identify opportunities for improvement. Addresses destruction of Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN), Ammonia (NH3), Silicone and Nitrous Oxide (NOX) emissions from carbon fiber and composite plant ovens and furnaces.
• Anguil Industrial

Products and services

• Thermal Oxidizers High-temperature combustion systems that destroy Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs), and odorous hydrocarbons through thermal oxidation at temperatures reaching 1460°F for 99% destruction.
• Catalytic Oxidizers (CATOX) Oxidation systems using catalyst materials (platinum, palladium, rhodium) to break apart contaminated compounds at lower temperatures than thermal oxidation, reducing fuel costs while achieving 99% destruction efficiency.
• Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) Thermal oxidation technology using ceramic heat recovery media to capture and reuse 90%-97%+ of heat from oxidation. Proven for VAM (Ventilation Air Methane) control, VOC destruction, and self-sustaining operation without auxiliary fuel when VOC concentrations are sufficient.
• Rotor Concentrator / Emission Concentrator Oxidation technology add-on that absorbs and concentrates VOCs into a smaller airflow, enabling use of smaller oxidizers. The continuously rotating wheel impregnated with adsorbent captures VOCs while exhausting clean air, then regenerates using warm low-volume desorption gas.
• Wastewater Treatment Systems Fully-integrated wastewater treatment systems targeting solid and liquid pollutants from industrial or remediation applications. Turnkey solutions with proven techniques and integrated technologies to meet specific site challenges.
• Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Platform Software platform built on Siemens Mindsphere for enhancing operational transparency and reporting on environmental pollution control equipment. Provides graphical overviews, KPI dashboards, live trending, document repositories, real-time data logging, event reporting, and alarm notification.
• System Design & Engineering Services Engineering services including process analysis, project management, mechanical/structural/environmental/electrical engineering, and quality assurance using a gate process for continuous improvement.
• Aftermarket Services Comprehensive service including 24/7 emergency service, routine/troubleshooting visits, operator training, preventive maintenance, retrofits & upgrades, spare parts, remote connection capabilities, and Master Service Plans for all makes and models.
• Pre-Owned & Rental Technologies Pre-owned pollution control equipment and rental options for customers requiring temporary or cost-effective solutions.
• Peak Shaver Packed tower counter-flow water scrubber integrated with catalytic oxidizers for Ethylene Oxide (EtO) abatement. Absorbs ethylene oxide gas into water by ensuring high contact area, preventing unsafe high concentration conditions and enabling safe operation with zero EO leakage.
• Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Systems Custom-designed systems targeting Carbon Monoxide, Total Hydrocarbons, Non-Methane Hydrocarbons, VOCs, HAPs, and Particulate from engine exhaust. Features integrated air-to-air heat exchangers for energy recovery.
• Beacon™ Carbon Fiber Emissions Program Joint program with Harper International providing Carbon Fiber manufacturers with carbon footprint evaluation and destruction technologies for Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN), Ammonia (NH3), Silicone, and Nitrous Oxide (NOX) emissions from carbon fiber ovens and furnaces.
