CTP Air Pollution Control

What CTP Air Pollution Control does

CTP Air Pollution Control (legal entity CTP Chemisch Thermische Prozesstechnik GmbH) is an Austrian privately-held engineering firm founded in 1985 that designs, manufactures, and services industrial air-pollution-control systems. Headquartered in Graz with a secondary site in St. Paul im Lavanttal, the company is owned by NCA Container- und Anlagenbau GmbH since 2018, providing vertical integration into steel and plant construction. Its product portfolio spans four technology families: Thermal Systems (VOXcube, AutoTherm, MultiTherm) for regenerative and direct thermal oxidation; Catalytic Systems (RecuKAT, AutoKAT, RecuNOx, AutoNOx) for recuperative and regenerative catalytic oxidation and SCR-based NOx reduction; Hybrid Systems (Hybrid RTO, VOCNOxTherm, RTO-i-SCR) combining thermal, catalytic, and SNCR/SCR stages; and Sorptive Systems (RotorSorbTherm, VOXsorbTherm, WetSorbTherm) for rotary and fixed-bed adsorption and wet absorption. The core technology is a proprietary ceramic honeycomb heat exchanger introduced with the world's first honeycomb RTO in 1989, supported by in-house noble-metal and metal-oxide catalyst production and multiple process patents covering ammonia removal, thermal laughing-gas purification, and PCDD/F abatement.

CTP generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of customized turnkey systems (capacities up to 420,000 Nm³/h), complemented by professional-services revenue from feasibility studies, engineering, piloting, installation and commissioning, and by recurring maintenance, spare-parts, retrofit, and remote-support service contracts. The company serves enterprise customers across at least 14 industrial verticals — chemical and petrochemical (200+ systems), building materials/cement, pharmaceutical, metals and mining, forest products, automotive and EV battery, oil and gas, energy, food, electronics, recycling and waste management, consumer goods, and coating and printing — with named customers including a phosphate fertilizer plant, LDPE and butadiene rubber producers, a beverage-can producer, a TFT-LCD/OLED facility, a semiconductor fab, and a Tier-1 EVOH copolymer manufacturer in Antwerp. Sales are conducted via direct enterprise field sales supported by subsidiaries in China, France, and South Korea, licensees in Japan, trade-show presence at IFAT Munich and Pollutec, and a website lead-generation channel; pricing is quotation-based and not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

CTP Air Pollution Control designs, manufactures, and services thermal oxidizer systems used to destroy volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor-laden emissions from industrial exhaust air. Its product range spans regenerative, recuperative, and combined regenerative-catalytic thermal oxidizers, plus feasibility/laboratory testing, control software (CTP Connect), retrofits, and spare-part/service contracts for process manufacturers worldwide.

Product overview

CTP Air Pollution Control offers a comprehensive portfolio of industrial air pollution control systems designed for VOC emission control, greenhouse gas control, odor abatement, and removal of hazardous air pollutants. The product lineup consists of four main system categories: Thermal Systems (VOXcube, AutoTherm, MultiTherm) for regenerative and direct thermal oxidation; Catalytic Systems (RecuKAT, AutoKAT, RecuNOx, AutoNOx) for recuperative and regenerative catalytic oxidation and NOx reduction; Hybrid Systems (Hybrid RTO, VOCNOxTherm, RTO-i-SCR) combining multiple technologies for complex applications; and Sorptive Systems (RotorSorbTherm, VOXsorbTherm, WetSorbTherm) for adsorption and absorption. These systems are complemented by comprehensive lifecycle services including engineering, pilot testing, installation, preventive maintenance, and spare parts support.
