Environmental Solutions for the Automotive, Aerospace, and Machining/Automation Industries

Systems for air pollution control & water/wastewater treatment

Systems for air pollution control & water/wastewater treatment

Application or technical questions?

Automotive and Aerospace industries are two of the most regulated industries in the US. Many manufacturers in these industries are faced with the challenge of complying with a multitude of strict environmental regulations while still being competitive.

Treating liquid waste from these industries poses a set of unique challenges. Producing parts out of a variety of metals and composite materials generates high levels of effluents in waste, rinse, and process waters. Oily wastes and high metal content in the wastewater must be treated correctly before it can be recycled or disposed.

As air pollution control and water treatment experts, we have many successful installations that have continued to perform well for decades. We have the knowledge and the proven expertise to provide cost-effective solutions for a range of applications in the Automotive, Aerospace, and Machining/Automation industries.

Monroe Can Help

For over 50 years Monroe has designed and manufactured a variety of Air Pollution Control and Water & Wastewater Treatment systems for the Automotive, Aerospace, Machining, and Automation industries. Our very first project was developing a solution for a difficult oil mist collection problem at an automotive plant.
