What PCP Group does

PCP Group (legal name: Power and Chemical Plant Ltd.) is an Irish industrial environmental control company founded in 1967 by Raymond Murphy and headquartered in Ballymore Eustace, Co. Kildare. The company designs, supplies, and services bespoke systems across three product lines: Dust Solutions (fine-mist suppression, mobile cannons, fogging lines, sensor-triggered and cloud-monitored particulate control); Odour Solutions (fogging, vapour deodorising, biofiltration, scrubbing, and continuous emission monitoring including the proprietary Acrulog CEMS unit); and Tramp Metal Detection Solutions (Eriez-distributed X8, TR MetAlarm, and Xtreme detectors plus magnetic separators and gravity separators). All products are engineered for direct integration with customer PLC, SCADA, and E-stop systems, enabling automated dosing and real-time process control. The portfolio also extends into adjacent industrial safety offerings, including reversing camera/radar systems and brake testing for heavy quarry vehicles.

The company monetises across four streams: one-time bespoke equipment sales (CAPEX), usage-based mobile and trailer unit rentals (OPEX), recurring service contracts including SLAs, calibration, training, and spare parts, and ancillary technical advisory services. Pricing is quote-based, denominated in Euros, with bespoke terms including letter of credit and restocking provisions. PCP Group reaches customers exclusively through consultative direct enterprise field sales anchored by free site assessments, plus phone and website contact channels, with no disclosed named customer logos. The geographic footprint is Ireland-only, and the company positions itself as the domestic market leader in sustainable dust, odour, and metal control for industrial clients in wastewater, waste recycling, pharmaceutical, food processing, composting, biogas, rendering, quarrying, mining, port, and construction sectors.

Revenue model

1. Industrial Environmental Control Equipment Sales: PCP Group sells bespoke environmental control equipment including dust suppression systems, odour control units, and metal detection equipment. The company sells products directly to industrial clients with pricing based on their quotation system. Payment terms include invoice-based payment with provisions for letter of credit arrangements.
2. Equipment Rental and Mobile Unit Hire: Mobile trailer units and fogging systems are available for rental for peak odour periods, seasonal cargoes, or emergency deployment. This provides flexible OPEX options for customers who prefer not to commit to capital expenditure.
3. Service Contracts and Maintenance: Full SLAs, on-call support, calibration services, and maintenance contracts are offered for long-term equipment protection. Training for in-house servicing and spare parts supply are also provided as recurring service offerings.
4. Technical Advisory Services: The company provides limited observation and technical advice associated with the sale and use of products. Additional or extended services can be contracted separately under written agreements.

Core offering

PCP Group designs, supplies, installs and services bespoke industrial environmental control systems for dust, odour and tramp metal challenges across Irish industry. Core product lines are Dust Solutions (suppression, monitoring and large-area coverage), Odour Solutions (fogging, vapour deodorising, biofiltration, dosing and continuous emission monitoring), and Metal Detection Solutions (Eriez metal detectors and magnetic separators protecting shredders, crushers and processing equipment). Customers can purchase systems outright, rent mobile units, or take service contracts covering SLAs, calibration, training and spare parts.

Product overview

PCP Group is an Irish industrial environmental control company providing bespoke sustainable solutions for dust, odour, and tramp metal detection. The company operates three core product lines: Dust Solutions (dust suppression, monitoring, and control systems for quarries, construction, and recycling); Odour Solutions (advanced odour neutralisation through fogging, vapour, biofiltration, and monitoring technologies); and Metal Detection Solutions (tramp metal detectors and magnetic separators for protecting processing equipment). The product portfolio includes modular add-on components such as mobile cannons, fogging lines, portable monitoring units, stack monitors, and vehicle safety systems. Solutions are designed for industrial automation integration with SCADA/PLC systems and are offered through flexible CAPEX and OPEX structures.

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Sly Inc. US-based manufacturer of industrial dust collectors and air pollution control equipment. Comparable to PCP's dust collector, industrial vacuum, and stack monitoring product families, though operating primarily in North America rather than directly competing in Ireland.

Emerging players

• Odournet: Netherlands-based odour measurement and abatement specialist. Comparable to PCP's odour solutions line — fogging, vapour deodorising, biofiltration/scrubbing, and portable monitoring (Acrulog CEMS).
• BossTek (Midwest Industrial Supply): US dust suppression specialist focused on atomised mist cannons for mining, quarrying, ports, and bulk material handling. Comparable to PCP's mobile cannons, trailer units, and large-area dust suppression solutions for heavy industry.
• Dustech: Australian dust suppression specialist supplying engineered dust control systems for mining, quarrying, and bulk handling. Strongly comparable to PCP's dust solutions portfolio (fine mist, mobile units, automated sensor-triggered systems).

Direct peers

• Nederman: Swedish-listed specialist in industrial air filtration, dust and fume extraction, and mist/odour control. Highly comparable to PCP Group across dust suppression, fume extraction, and monitoring for industrial environments, with similar consultative sales to heavy industry, food, and pharma.
• Eriez: US-headquartered manufacturer of magnetic separation and metal detection equipment — and PCP's principal technology partner. Eriez products (X8, TR MetAlarm, Xtreme, Magnetic Humps, Trap/Grate Magnets, Gravity Separators) are central to PCP's metal detection solution line, making it the most direct upstream/adjacent comparable.
• Goudsmit Magnetics: Dutch designer/manufacturer of industrial magnetic separators (overband, drum, grate, suspension magnets) for recycling, mining, and food. Direct overlap with PCP's magnetic separation components within its metal detection solutions.
• Sesotec: German manufacturer of metal detectors, magnetic separators, and X-ray-based sorting systems for food, pharma, plastics, and recycling. Directly comparable to PCP's metal detection and tramp-metal protection solutions for shredders, crushers, and processing lines.

Broad incumbents

• Donaldson Company: Global filtration manufacturer offering dust collection, fume extraction, and industrial monitoring solutions. Overlaps with PCP's dust suppression and air-purifying portfolio across heavy industry and manufacturing, though Donaldson operates at much greater scale and across multiple filtration categories.
• AAF (American Air Filter) / Flanders: Long-established industrial air filtration and dust collection company. Comparable to PCP on dust collectors, baghouse/filt system components, and industrial air quality solutions for manufacturing and process facilities.
