Company description
With more than 35 years of experience, Desotec has established itself as a European market leader in mobile activated carbon filtration. The company provides mission-critical purification solutions that enable customers to comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations while ensuring operational continuity.
Desotec’s offering is built around a circular, service-based model, where customers rent mobile filtration units and Desotec manages the full lifecycle—from delivery to filter replacement, reactivation, and reuse. This closed-loop system reduces emissions, minimizes waste, and lowers total cost of ownership by avoiding disposal and reducing the need for virgin activated carbon.
The company operates the largest mobile filter fleet in Europe and serves a broad range of industrial applications, including air emissions, biogas, remediation, wastewater, and chemicals, supporting customers across diverse and mission-critical filtration needs.
