What airprotech does

Airprotech S.r.l. is an Italian designer and manufacturer of turnkey industrial air-pollution-control systems, headquartered in Magenta (Milan) with a production workshop in Parabiago. Active since 1995 and operating within Munters Group's AirTech (Clean technologies) division, the company supplies complete systems for cleaning polluted process gases and reducing industrial emissions of VOCs, VICs, aerosols, mists, solvents, odors, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter across sectors including chemicals, oil and gas/petrochemical, Li-Ion battery production, painting and coatings, biogas/biomethane, metals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, glass and ceramics, and printing.

The technical portfolio spans the full abatement toolkit: regenerative (RTO), recuperative, and direct thermal oxidizers; catalytic oxidizers; zeolite-based VOC rotor-concentrators; NMP recovery systems combining condensation and adsorption for Li-Ion electrode coating; aluminium foil rolling-oil recovery systems; activated carbon adsorption; gas and liquid incinerators; SCR DeNOx plants for NOx reduction; wet/dry scrubbers and washing towers; halogenated-compound treatment integrated with scrubbing; mobile transportable gas-cleaning units; and refurbished second-hand equipment. RTO systems are quoted at up to 96% thermal recovery and the biogas post-combustion variant claims >99% methane destruction, signalling design maturity in heat-recovery and emissions-destruction efficiency.

The business model is direct enterprise sales-led: turnkey systems are custom-engineered per process, with quotations issued on request rather than posted pricing, and deliveries supported by multi-year installation and commissioning contracts. Revenue streams combine one-time equipment sales, aftermarket services (technical assistance, maintenance, remote monitoring, spare parts, retrofits), mobile-system rentals on monthly fees with optional buy-out, and the sale of refurbished equipment. Market reach is exercised through a six-language commercial website (IT, EN, FR, DE, ES, PL), active exhibition at industrial trade fairs (IFAT, PaintExpo, Ecomondo, The Battery Show, JEC World, K, Pollutec, ICE Europe, Aluminium USA, Empack), and a delivery footprint spanning roughly 20+ European countries plus Asia, North America, Brazil, and Algeria. The company holds ISO 9001, CE Marking, EX Conformity, and EAC certifications, supporting bid eligibility for regulated emissions-control projects across Europe and Eurasia.
