What Aereon Solutions does

Aereon Solutions designs, manufactures, and services environmental emissions control equipment primarily for the oil and gas industry, with secondary applications in biogas and wastewater. The company's product portfolio spans three core categories: flare systems (utility, assisted, sonic/MACH-1, demountable, multi-point ground, enclosed ground, and burn pit flares), enclosed combustion systems (CEB ultra-low emission burners, FIRECAT thermal oxidizers, catalytic and regenerative thermal oxidizers, tail gas incinerators, and vapor combustion units), and gas and vapor recovery systems (activated carbon VRUs, marine VRUs, dock safety units, vapor blowers, well-head compressors, mechanical VRUs, and flare gas recovery systems). Technologies are backed by multiple patents covering combustion processes, valve controls, and energy recovery systems.

Aereon monetizes through a mix of custom-engineered equipment sales (project-based), equipment rental (with the largest enclosed combustion rental fleet in Europe at over 350 MW thermal capacity), aftermarket services (commissioning, maintenance, retrofits, upgrades, emission testing, and PLC/HMI automation), and spare parts supply. The company sells direct to enterprise customers through regional sales managers, supported by a global service organization operating in more than 45 countries. Pricing is project-specific based on customer specifications, capacity, and deployment scope, with no public pricing available.

Aereon operates as the international division of Cimarron Energy, Inc. (which acquired it in 2020), serving customers outside the Americas. The legal entity is Aereon Europe S.r.l., headquartered in Legnano (Milan), Italy, with offices in the Netherlands, UK, UAE, and India. The company traces its heritage to the 1980s through Jordan Technologies and Flare Industries, which merged to form Aereon before being consolidated under Cimarron. Leadership includes CEO Saeid Rahimian, CFO Benjamin Smith, and Managing Director Francesco Canozzi.
