Alpine Technology

What Alpine Technology does

Alpine Technology is a private manufacturer's representative firm that supplies emission control and energy recovery equipment for municipal and industrial sewage sludge incineration projects. The company acts as the principal commercial channel for two complementary manufacturers: Arvos Schmidtsche Schack LLC, which provides high-temperature recuperators, waste heat boilers, thermal oil heaters, and gas-to-gas heat exchangers used in incineration, gasification, drying, and Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) applications; and EnviroCare International, which supplies multi-Venturi VenturiPak scrubbers, MercuryPak scrubbers for elemental mercury capture, and Star wet electrostatic precipitators, often paired with sorbent polymer catalyst mercury adsorption modules. Together these product lines address US EPA Section 129 SSI MACT limits, 2018 CISWI rules, and EU BAT requirements, while enabling up to 25–70% auxiliary fuel savings through flue-gas air preheating and, in some operating regimes, autogenous incineration.

The company monetizes through commissioned equipment sales tied to large capital projects, supplemented by technical consulting and specification support. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales, engaging municipal and industrial owners (such as the City of St. Louis, City of London Ontario, and Singapore), owner engineers such as Black & Veatch and GHD, system suppliers, and EPC contractors, and it supports projects across North America, Europe, and Asia through regional offices. Marketing is anchored in Water Environment Federation community participation, technical webcasts (including with US EPA staff on PFAS thermal destruction), and presence at WEF Residuals & Biosolids, WEFTEC, Berlin Sewage Sludge, and IT3 conferences. The firm was likely founded around 1999 based on its 2019 statement of "20 years of experience" and operates with 11–50 employees.

Core offering

Alpine Technology is a manufacturers' representative firm that supplies emission control and energy recovery equipment for municipal and industrial sludge incineration. The company represents Arvos Schmidtsche Schack LLC for energy recovery equipment (recuperators, air preheaters, waste heat boilers, thermal oil heaters) and EnviroCare International for emission control equipment (VenturiPak scrubbers, MercuryPak scrubbers, Star wet electrostatic precipitators), serving wastewater treatment projects globally with technology designed to meet stringent EPA MACT requirements.

Product overview

Alpine Technology offers a portfolio of emission control and energy recovery equipment for municipal and industrial sludge incineration, representing two principal manufacturers. Arvos Schmidtsche Schack LLC provides energy recovery equipment including recuperative air preheaters, thermal oil heaters, waste heat boilers, and oil heat exchangers for Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems. EnviroCare International supplies emission control equipment including the VenturiPak advanced scrubber, MercuryPak scrubber for mercury capture, and Star Wet ESP systems, often integrated with SPC mercury adsorption modules. These products work together to meet regulatory standards ranging from moderate to the stringent 2016 US EPA SSI MACT requirements.

Products and services

• VenturiPak Scrubber Advanced multi-Venturi scrubber optimized for high collection efficiency at modest energy consumption, designed to eliminate fine particulate matter (less than 1 micron) including solid particles and condensed aerosols with less pressure drop than conventional systems.
• MercuryPak Scrubber Specialized scrubber system for removing volatilized elemental mercury from exhaust gases that cannot be captured in standard wet scrubbers, developed to meet EPA 129 SSI and CISWI regulations.
• Star Wet ESP (WESP) Compact, high velocity wet electrostatic precipitator that can be integrated with VenturiPak scrubber as an integral stage or supplied as a standalone vessel for enhanced particulate capture.
• Sorbent Polymer Catalyst (SPC) Mercury Adsorption Modules Fixed carbon impregnated polymer adsorption modules used with scrubber systems to meet mercury emission limits under EPA regulations.
• Schack Recuperators and Air Preheaters Recuperative air preheaters that preheat combustion air or fuel using flue gas, capable of reducing or eliminating auxiliary fuel consumption by 25-70% in incinerators operating at 1500°F with 1000°F preheat and enabling autogenous operation at 1200°F air preheat with well-dewatered sludge.
• Schack Waste Heat Boilers and Thermal Oil Heaters Custom designed waste heat boilers and thermal oil heaters for the wastewater industry with multiple styles and arrangements for incineration, Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), gasification, and drying applications.
