DONAU CARBON TECHNOLOGIES

who we are

who we are

For over 40 years, we have been designing and building air treatment and industrial solvent recovery plants. Born in Italy, grown worldwide: more than 900 plants installed across 50+ countries, patented technology and ISO 9001 certification since 1998 are concrete measures of our expertise.

In 2022, we joined the Babcock Wanson Group, which is already active in VOC treatment through thermal oxidisers. An integration that broadens our solution range, strengthens our global service network and brings complementary expertise directly to the benefit of our clients.

solvent
recovery

We turn waste solvents into a recoverable resource. Our activated carbon systems with steam, nitrogen, or nitrogen + vacuum regeneration (patented X-CSR technology) achieve over 98% recovery efficiency, reduce CO₂ emissions, and deliver payback in under 3 years, starting from 300 tonnes/year of solvent processed.

thermal
oxidation

We destroy VOCs with up to 99% efficiency. Our regenerative (RTO), recuperative (TO) and catalytic (CO) oxidisers are engineered for airflows from 3,000 to 330,000 Nm³/h, with up to 95% thermal efficiency and minimal utility consumption. We have installed over 800 RTOs and TOs worldwide.

Environmental
Technologies

Zeolite rotor concentrators, wet scrubbers, bag filters, DeNOx units and heat recovery systems. Complementary solutions to optimise low-concentration polluted airflows and reduce overall operating costs. Every system is custom-engineered, integrated or stand-alone.

  • Emissions as Engineering

    Every plant starts from the client's actual emissions. Compliance is not optional, it is the starting point. We engineer to CE, ATEX, BAT, and ISO 9001, integrating all applicable local standards from the initial calculation.
  • Proprietary Know-how

    No technology is selected before the situation is fully understood. VOCs, layout, local regulations, operational constraints: analysis first, solution second. Patented X-CSR technology, Lurgi Aktivkohle licence since 1981, over 40 years of in-house R&D.
  • Compliance by Design

    Regulatory requirements are part of the project from day one, not only once the plant has been built. LEL sensors, PLCs, remote monitoring, safety systems: everything integrated into the structure, not added on top.
  • Lifetime Accountability

    DCT's philosophy is to remain by the client's side throughout the plant's entire lifetime. A single entry point to a competent engineering team and a broad after-sales network.
  • Structural Credibility

    Over 40 years of VOC specialisation. 900+ plants installed worldwide. DCT's expertise is strengthened by the Babcock Wanson Group's European scale, benefiting every single project.
