PM · NOₓ · SO₂ · CO · HAPs
The Right Technology for
Every Emission Challenge
Industrial power generation, biomass, waste-to-energy, pulp & paper, chemical, and process facilities face an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Western state air quality agencies — ECOLOGY, ODEQ, CARB, IDEQ, and others — are tightening PM, NOₓ, SO₂, CO, and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) limits, and new projects face BACT and LAER reviews that demand best-available technologies.
BTCo approaches pollution control the same way we approach all engineered equipment: with deep application knowledge, access to technologies that actually work in industrial environments, and a commitment to helping clients achieve compliance at the lowest total cost of ownership.
We represent Precision Partners for advanced ceramic filtration and multi-pollutant control systems, and we draw on decades of project experience to match baghouses, cyclones, and SCR systems to the full range of industrial applications in our territory.

Proven Equipment for Every Emission Stream
BTCo’s pollution control portfolio covers the full range of particulate and gaseous emission control requirements — from robust mechanical separators to catalytically-enhanced ceramic filtration that handles PM, NOₓ, SO₂, and CO simultaneously in a single dry system.
Baghouse Fabric Filters
Fabric filter baghouses remain the industry benchmark for high-efficiency particulate collection across virtually every industrial application. BTCo specifies pulse-jet, reverse-air, and shaker baghouse systems engineered for the specific dust loading, temperature, moisture content, and chemical characteristics of each application.
Cyclones & Multi-Clones
Centrifugal cyclone collectors provide efficient, low-maintenance removal of coarse and medium particulate without filter media. Used as primary collectors before baghouses or SCR systems, or as standalone duty in lower-efficiency applications. High-temperature tolerant — suitable for direct flue gas service from biomass, waste-to-energy, and boiler systems.
Selective Catalytic Reduction
SCR systems are the established BACT technology for NOₓ control in industrial boilers, combustion turbines, and reciprocating engines. Ammonia or urea reagent reacts over a catalyst bed to convert NOₓ to nitrogen and water with reductions typically exceeding 90%. BTCo provides SCR systems sized for gas, oil, biomass, and multi-fuel applications.

CCF Plus: Multi-Pollutant
Control Evolved
Precision Partners’ Catalytic Ceramic Filter (CCF) Plus represents a fundamental advance in industrial emissions control — replacing the conventional approach of stacking separate baghouses, SCR systems, and acid gas scrubbers with a single, compact, all-dry system built around high-temperature catalytic ceramic filter elements.
The CCF Plus ceramic candle filters are engineered from high-temperature binders and plasticizers for thermal resilience across operating temperatures up to 1,650°F. Each filter element weighs approximately 30 pounds at a typical 10-foot length and 6-inch diameter, with micrometer-length diameter fibers providing ultra-fine submicron filtration. Filter service life consistently exceeds 10 years in continuous operation.
Backed by over 800,000 CCA Cerafil® filters installed worldwide, Precision Partners brings unmatched ceramic filtration experience to every project — from initial system design through long-term aftermarket support with locally stocked filter elements available on short notice.
The integrated High Temperature Circulating Dry Scrubber (HTCDS) module within CCF Plus delivers the highest SO₂ and acid gas removal efficiency available from any dry-process system — no wet scrubbing, no wastewater treatment, no liquid handling infrastructure required.

Technical Depth. Regulatory Knowledge. Right Technology.
Regulatory Familiarity
BTCo engineers are familiar with the air quality permit requirements, BACT/LAER review processes, and agency technical preferences across all six of our states — ECOLOGY, ODEQ, CARB, IDEQ, ADEC, and CDPHE. We can help clients select technologies that will pass permit review, not just ones that look good on paper.
Technology-Neutral Recommendations
Because we represent multiple complementary technologies — baghouses, cyclones, SCR, and CCF — we can recommend the right solution for each application rather than defaulting to a single product family. Sometimes a proven baghouse is the right answer. Sometimes CCF Plus is the only path to compliance.
Integration with Power & Process Systems
As a full-service distributed energy and process equipment representative, BTCo understands how pollution control systems integrate with the boilers, steam turbines, heat exchangers, and fans that serve the same plant. We can coordinate the design of the entire back-end air system, not just the APC device.
Long-Term Support Through Precision Partners
Precision Partners’ ECaS® model and aftermarket capabilities — including locally stocked Cerafil® elements and factory technician support — mean CCF Plus clients have a genuine long-term operations partner, not just an equipment vendor.
Six States. Multiple Regulatory Frameworks.
BTCo’s pollution control practice spans six states, each with distinct air quality regulatory structures and permit requirements. Our engineers are familiar with the technical preferences and submission processes of each state agency.
For projects requiring BACT determinations, LAER analysis, or multi-pollutant compliance strategies, BTCo can provide technology comparison data and application-specific performance documentation to support the permit record.
We review your emission limits, fuel type, gas stream conditions, and permit requirements to identify the most effective and cost-efficient technology path. There is no charge for initial consultations.
