What Santes Incinerator does

Santes Incinerator (legal name: Santes Incinerator Çevre Teknolojileri Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.) is a Turkish private industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1990 and headquartered in Temelli, Ankara. The company designs, manufactures, and installs custom-engineered waste incineration systems and integrated flue gas treatment solutions, serving seven distinct waste stream applications: medical, hazardous/industrial, municipal, animal, wastewater sludge, oily sludge, and propellant/demilitarization wastes. Core technology includes rotary kiln incinerators for high-capacity hazardous waste, static furnaces for specialized propellant destruction, combustion chambers operating at 800-1100°C with minimum 2-second residence times achieving 99.99% combustion efficiency for organics, and complementary flue gas treatment units including RETOX Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers, wet scrubbers, and dry scrubbers.

The company's business model is built on one-time capital equipment sales of bespoke systems, with revenue generated through direct enterprise sales and inside-sales inquiry conversion via a multilingual website. Projects are custom-engineered per client specifications including waste type, capacity, fuel selection (diesel, LPG, natural gas, fuel oil, waste oil, JP-8), emission standard compliance (EU, EPA, ABPR), and optional energy recovery configurations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company serves a diversified customer base across healthcare facilities, industrial manufacturers, municipal governments, and defense/demilitarization clients in over 40 countries on four continents. Marketing channels include international trade exhibitions (notably IFAT Munich), government-organized trade missions, and a multilingual website (six languages). Santes holds ISO 9001:2015, CE certification, and EU Directive 2000/76/EC and 2010/75/EU compliance, with the US EPA standard as a design benchmark. The company completed a new 7,000 m² manufacturing facility in September 2024, indicating significant capacity expansion, and has received multiple ISIB HVAC-R industry awards between 2012-2017.
