Ducon Technologies Inc.

What Ducon Technologies Inc. does

Ducon Technologies Inc. is a privately held industrial environmental control and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm founded in 1938 and headquartered in Melville, New York, with manufacturing facilities in York, Pennsylvania and Odon, Indiana, and a regional headquarters in Thane, India. The company designs and supplies proprietary air pollution control and emissions abatement equipment — including flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems (limestone, seawater, dry, semi-dry), dynamic and venturi wet scrubbers, dry and wet electrostatic precipitators, baghouse filters, packed towers, VOC control (DUVOC), and SCR/SNCR DeNOx systems — along with bulk material handling systems marketed under the Ducon Fluid Transport (DFT) subsidiary. Technology is anchored by five registered proprietary platforms (UW-4 dynamic wet scrubber, Ventri-Rod Absorber, DRX-25 nozzle, Q-pack packing, DUVOC adsorption) and a 30,000+ global installed base spanning power, refining, chemicals, steel, mining, cement, and infrastructure customers including Chevron, Exxon, Dow, BASF, DuPont, GE Energy, US Steel, and Abbott.

Ducon earns revenue primarily through multi-million-dollar turnkey project execution — engineering, supply, and erection of complete systems with single-source responsibility — supplemented by equipment supply and recurring environmental consulting and field services (multi-year plant operation, maintenance, compliance testing, and retrofit recommendations). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via U.S. representatives and a global licensee network; pricing is custom quote-based with multi-year contract cadences. In recent years the company has expanded the product surface into renewable energy (solar PV, solar thermal, green hydrogen electrolyzer plants) and, as of an April 2026 product launch, advanced pollution mitigation solutions targeted at missile-interception scenarios, signaling a directional shift toward clean energy and defense adjacencies while maintaining the legacy industrial emissions business.
