NESTEC is heading to the IMDPA Annual Conference! 🏭

We're excited to exhibit at this year's IMDPA Annual Conference, September 29 – October 1, 2026 in Itasca, IL, where metal decorators, can makers, and packaging suppliers from around the world gather to share the latest in technology, quality, and innovation.

Emissions control is a critical piece of the metal decorating and coating process — and NESTEC brings decades of experience helping manufacturers meet air quality regulations without sacrificing throughput. From RTO/RCO thermal and catalytic oxidizers to Wet Electrostatic Precipitators (WESPs) and on-site aftermarket support, we help plants keep VOC and particulate emissions in check while keeping production running.

Adding to the excitement, our own Scott Brayton will be presenting at the conference — stay tuned for details on his session!

Joining Scott at our booth will also be Thomas Botelho and Rich Pavelko, as part of the NESTEC team.

Stop by our booth to talk emissions control, ask about your facility's specific challenges, or just say hello!

NESTEC is at TEAM M3 this week!

Stop by our booth at the South Sioux City Marriott Riverfront (South Sioux City, NE) to talk emissions control with the experts.

For over 30 years, NESTEC has engineered custom air pollution control systems for the toughest industrial applications — Wet Electrostatic Precipitators, RTO/RCO thermal and catalytic oxidizers, and aftermarket support that keeps plants running clean and compliant. From ethanol and biofuels manufacturing to specialty chemical and pharmaceutical processes, we design systems that perform in the real world, not just on paper.

Diego Castillo and Scott Brayton are on-site all week and would love to connect — whether you're troubleshooting an existing system, exploring VOC/acid-gas control options, or just want to talk shop about emissions control strategy for your facility.

Come find the NESTEC booth and say hello!

As pharmaceutical, peptide, biosimilar, and specialty chemical manufacturing continues to expand, the complexity of process air emissions challenges is increasing right along with it.

Many of today’s manufacturing environments involve:
🔹 Highly variable batch emissions
🔹 Large swings in VOC concentration
🔹 Halogenated solvent streams
🔹 Acid-gas formation (HCl / HBr)
🔹 Corrosive operating environments
🔹 Explosion prevention and LEL management
🔹 Integrated process safety requirements

These are not “standard” VOC control applications!

NESTEC has been involved in solving these types of complex emissions challenges for decades across pharmaceutical, specialty chemical, and hazardous industrial process environments.
We are currently developing a new technical white paper focused on advanced VOC and acid-gas emissions control strategies for pharmaceutical and specialty chemical manufacturing applications.

Stay tuned as we share more details on this topic!

NESTEC wrapped up an exciting week in Atlanta after exhibiting at both the Wood Bioenergy Conference & Expo and the Panel & Engineered Lumber International Conference & Expo (PELICE) at the Omni.
Our team—including NESTEC President Jaymie Deemer and the NESTEC sales group—had the opportunity to meet with producers and stakeholders across the veneer, plywood, OSB, MDF, particleboard, engineered wood products, and mass timber sectors to discuss one issue that continues to grow in importance:
Air emissions compliance is becoming a critical design driver for nearly every project.
What stood out throughout both conferences was how quickly these industries are evolving. Producers are evaluating higher production rates, new resin and adhesive systems, expanded drying capacity, new press technologies, and entirely new product lines.
With those changes come increasingly complex emissions challenges, including:
• Higher VOC and HAP emissions from dryers, presses, blenders, and resin systems
• Stricter requirements for formaldehyde, methanol, condensable particulate, and PM emissions
• Greater scrutiny under Title V permits, MACT standards, and state permitting requirements
• The challenge of upgrading aging air pollution control systems without limiting production
For facilities producing OSB, MDF, particleboard, plywood, and other engineered wood products, even relatively small process changes can significantly alter emissions profiles and trigger new permit requirements.

The growth in mass timber and advanced engineered wood products is especially exciting—but it also increases the need to understand how adhesives, curing systems, presses, finishing operations, and airflow patterns impact emissions and compliance strategy.

At both conferences, the NESTEC team had excellent discussions with producers about practical solutions including:
• Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs)
• Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizers (RCOs)
• Wet ESP systems
• Process ventilation and airflow optimization
• CFD modeling to solve airflow and collection bottlenecks
• Emissions modeling and permitting support

The best time to address air emissions is before they become the bottleneck that slows a project down!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the NESTEC booth and spent time with our team in Atlanta. The level of innovation taking place across the wood products industry is incredible, and we are excited to help facilities move these projects forward successfully.

What if the biggest risk in your next plant upgrade isn’t the new process itself…
…but whether your existing emissions control system can handle it?

Today at the 2026 Wood Bioenergy Conference & Expo in Atlanta, we’ve heard the same concern from facility leaders again and again:
“We know where we want to take the plant. We’re just not sure whether our existing emission control system can get us there.”

Biocarbon. Torrefaction. Higher production rates. Short lead times for media and components. Modified burners. Different feedstocks.
Every one of those changes can quietly create a new emissions profile—and suddenly:
· Existing oxidizers may be undersized
· Permit limits may no longer align with actual operations
· VOC, CO, particulate, or HAP emissions may increase unexpectedly
· A project intended to improve production can become delayed by permitting, compliance, or retrofit issues
The facilities that move fastest are not necessarily the ones with the newest technology.
They are the ones that ask the right question early:
“Will our emissions control system still work after we make this change?”

That is where NESTEC Inc. has built its reputation.
For many decades, NESTEC has helped facilities answer questions like:
· Can my existing system handle a process change?
· Will I still meet permit limits if I increase throughput?
· What happens to emissions if I move into biocarbon or torrefaction?
· Can I retrofit instead of replace?
· How do I avoid expensive surprises late in the project?
Our experienced engineers and technical team have seen these challenges before—and know how to solve them before they become schedule delays or compliance problems.

Feel free to reach out to us and bring us your toughest question!
Sometimes the most valuable conversation is not about what equipment or solution to buy. The NESTEC Team would love to hear from you!
