Woman-owned Ship & Shore Environmental celebrates 25 years of helping manufacturers exceed environmental regulations.
A Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer does more than heat exhaust. Its controls continuously coordinate temperature, airflow, valves, combustion, and heat recovery to keep the system operating within its intended conditions.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is widely used for insulation, packaging, construction, and impact protection. Its manufacturing also creates a specific air-quality challenge: controlling VOC emissions, primarily pentane, released during processing.
A flexographic packaging manufacturer serving the food and candy markets was preparing for production expansion. Higher production rates meant increased process exhaust and VOC emissions.

An RTO can look perfectly normal from the outside while wear, fouling, misalignment, or calibration issues are developing inside. That’s why a strong preventive maintenance program goes beyond checking whether the equipment is running it verifies how well the entire system is operating.
Food and beverage manufacturing can generate VOCs, odors, particulate, fats, and aerosols requiring effective control. Abatement must consider both the pollutant and exhaust characteristics.
An RTO can continue running while its performance slowly moves in the wrong direction. Small changes in sensors, dampers, airflow, combustion, or mechanical components may not cause an immediate shutdown but they can increase fuel use, reduce reliability, and create compliance concerns over time.
Ship & Shore Environmental developed a fuel free, multistage oil removal system achieving 95–98% contaminant removal efficiency through cooling, condensation, gravity separation, and mechanical filtration.
