With a circular service model that includes delivery, monitoring, replacement, reactivation, and safe handling of spent activated carbon, DESOTEC enables industries to reduce emissions, stay compliant and operate sustainably. This expansion enables DESOTEC to provide rapid-response support and fully integrated purification solutions to industries including chemical and petrochemical production, hydrocarbon processing, waste and recycling, and heavy industrial manufacturing.

A Strategic Move for Regional Support

DESOTEC’s Houston operation is equipped to deliver a complete range of mobile filtration services tailored for both vapor and liquid phase applications. With access to a robust inventory of bulk activated carbon, plus rapid deployment of mobile filtration units in multiple sizes, the new location ensures faster turnaround times, minimized downtime, and enhanced operational efficiency for customers in the region.
