Osprey Corporation

What Osprey Corporation does

Osprey Corporation Ltd is a privately held specialist engineering firm founded in 1985 and headquartered in Whitstable, Kent, United Kingdom. The company designs and delivers bespoke industrial pollution management, energy conservation and dust control systems for enterprise clients in mining, chemicals, waste management, pulp and paper, and other process industries across the UK, Continental Europe, North America and Oceania. Over 30 years, Osprey has installed solutions for more than 100 clients at over 150 sites globally.

The firm's competitive foundation is a proprietary fluidised bed packing technology (TurboPak and Turboid), jointly developed with long-standing partner Fluid Technologies (Environmental) Ltd. This technology underpins four core product lines: TurboScrubber (gas scrubbing for simultaneous absorption, heat transfer and fine particulate removal), TurbEx (heat recovery replacing conventional cooling towers), TurboStripper (air stripping for VOC removal from groundwater and wastewater, achieving up to 99.99% removal efficiency) and ScrubMaster (proprietary diagnostic and design software). Complementary services include process engineering consulting, pilot trials, retrofit studies and bespoke dust extraction systems.

Osprey monetises through one-time capital sales of engineered systems, professional services for process design and consulting, software licensing for ScrubMaster, and recurring retrofit/upgrade engagements. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct contact ([email protected], +44 1227 852 452) supplemented by a licensee channel comprising NORAM Engineering (Canada), Paques Europe (Netherlands) and Begg Cousland Envirotec (UK), which extends geographic reach without proportional headcount expansion. With 1-10 employees, the firm operates as a lean technical specialist that leverages partners for manufacturing, local sales and installation.

Core offering

Osprey Corporation designs, manufactures, and supplies proprietary fluidised bed gas scrubbing, heat recovery, and air stripping systems (TurboScrubber, TurbEx, TurboStripper) along with the ScrubMaster design software. The company delivers bespoke pollution management, energy conservation, and dust control solutions to industrial clients worldwide, complemented by engineering consulting, process design, and system retrofit services.

Product overview

Osprey Corporation offers a portfolio of specialist industrial engineering products and services for pollution management, energy conservation, and dust control. The core product line consists of four main technology systems: TurboScrubber (gas scrubbing), TurbEx (heat recovery), TurboStripper (air stripping), and ScrubMaster (design software). These products are complemented by engineering consulting services and dust control solutions. The TurboPak and Turboid fluidised packing technology serves as the foundational technology across multiple product lines, enabling non-clogging operation for slurries in gas scrubbing and stripping applications.

Products and services

• TurboScrubber Gas Scrubbing System Fluidised bed gas scrubbing system using TurboPak and Turboid packing elements for simultaneous absorption of gaseous components, heat transfer, and fine dust and soot particle removal across industrial applications such as mining exhaust streams, chemical reactors, and incinerators.
• TurbEx Heat Recovery System Heat recovery system designed to enhance heat transfer performance within TurboScrubber technology, providing an alternative to traditional cooling towers with significantly higher heat transfer rates in a smaller footprint, suitable for pulp and paper and other process cooling duties.
• TurboStripper Air Stripping Technology Non-clogging air stripping technology for removal of VOCs from groundwater, wastewater, and specific chemical components, capable of consistent stripping efficiencies up to 99.99% and targeting compounds such as dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, and methyl mercaptan.
• ScrubMaster Design and Diagnostic Software Diagnostic and design software programme for process engineering designers or plant operators to upgrade existing scrubbing and absorption towers, or to design and build new systems using Osprey's proprietary fluidised bed technology.
• Process, Engineering & Consulting Services Full consultancy and engineering services covering process design solutions, project management, R&D with in-house computer modelling, and design and draughting services, including gas absorption, desorption, particulate removal, heat transfer, chemical reactions, and product and heat recovery.
• Dust Control Systems Bespoke dust extraction solutions ranging from stand-alone units to large centralised systems for manufacturing industries including mining, waste management, chemicals, and paper, addressing fine dust, fume, and particulate emissions.
