Beltran Technologies

What Beltran Technologies does

Beltran Technologies, Inc. is a privately held U.S. industrial engineering firm, headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, that designs, manufactures, and installs custom air pollution control and gas cleaning equipment — primarily wet electrostatic precipitators (WESPs), poly-stage precipitators, and fume coalescers — for heavy industrial customers worldwide. The company has installed more than 1,000 systems across metallurgical complexes, coal-fired power plants, and chemical processing facilities in markets including the United States, Peru, Zambia, and India, and has built a 75-plus-year track record in submicron particulate and acid-mist emission control.

The firm's core technical differentiator is a proprietary multi-stage, tubular WESP architecture using ionizing rods with star-shaped discharge points in square or hexagonal configurations, which generates a corona field 4–5 times more intense than conventional ESPs and enables collection of submicron particles and sulfuric acid aerosols at PM 0.01 levels with very low pressure drop and power draw. Beltran also markets an integrated Biomass Cogeneration System that combines a gasification reactor, its WESP for syngas cleaning, and an internal combustion engine to convert carbonaceous waste into combined heat and power, demonstrated at a 48 tons-per-day refuse-derived fuel plant.

The business model is project-based direct enterprise sales of custom-engineered capital equipment with associated engineering, fabrication, installation, and support services; pricing is opaque and quote-driven, and customer engagement is enterprise-field-sales-led targeting large industrial operators. The company is founder-led by President Michael R. Beltran, has 11–50 employees, and has recorded no external capital beyond a 1999 NYSERDA grant of roughly $97,000.

Products and services

• Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP) Multi-stage, tubular-design wet electrostatic precipitator systems capable of controlling emissions at the sub-micron level, including acid mists, sub-micron particulates, and condensed organics. Uses proprietary ionizing rods with star-shaped discharge points in square or hexagonal configurations that generate corona fields 4-5 times stronger than standard ESPs. Targeted at power plants, metallurgical complexes, sulfuric acid plants, and chemical processing facilities.
• Poly-Stage Precipitators Modular electrostatic precipitators that remove submicron smoke particles down to PM 0.01 with high efficiency and low operating costs (under 2 cents/hr/10,000 CFM). Operates at under 100 Watts/1000 CFM with minimal pressure drop under 0.6 inches WG. Suitable for textile, vinyl, plastic, printing, food processing, and manufacturing applications.
• Fume Coalescer – Fiber Bed Equipment Tubular fiber bed equipment using glass fibers to capture ultrafine mists, VOCs, oily aerosols, acid gases, and liquid particles down to PM 0.25 or smaller. Employs impingement and Brownian diffusion as collection mechanisms achieving 99.5% collection efficiency. Custom-configured for chemical, petrochemical, asphalt, chlorine, acid plants, textiles, metallurgical, and other industries.
• Beltran Biomass Gasification Technology Integrated three-stage process that converts biomass and organic wastes into clean-burning synthesis gas (syngas) for combined heat and power (CHP), hydrogen production, biofuels, and industrial chemicals. Components include gasification reactor vessel, wet electrostatic precipitator for syngas cleaning, and internal combustion piston engine for CHP generation.
• Beltran Biomass Cogeneration System Integrated waste-to-energy solution using gasification on carbonaceous feedstocks (wood, agricultural waste, farm animal waste) to produce syngas for combined heat and power. Features thermochemical reactor vessel with cyclone separator, WESP for submicron particulate removal, IC engine for electric generation, and steam turbine co-generator.
