Since its incorporation in 1946, Komline-Sanderson has provided the highest quality equipment for applications including process/production filtration, drying, wastewater treatment, sludge processing, and pollution control.

A publicly owned wastewater treatment facility in the southwest United States installed a direct-fired thermal oxidizer (DFTO) for the abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other separated constituents from the wastewater treatment gas-separation process.

A provider of stamping oil cleaning services utilized a thermal deoiler to eliminate toxic wastewater and reduce water consumption. The unit has a built-in secondary heat recovery system that uses a shell and tube heat exchanger design to recycle the heat from the oxidizer back into the burner-less oven.

Due to highly publicized drought events and changing public perception, sustainable water management is a growing priority in recent years to companies in a variety of sectors. 

A process that could extract the different chemical components from microalgae in order to convert them into bio-based chemical, biofuels and bioplastics is under development.
