Kiln & Furnace Emission Control
High-temperature processes include graphite coating, anode active material production (AAM), cathode active material production (CAM), silicone anode production, and more. These processes can emit a range of harmful gases, including CO, SO₂, NOₓ, and particulates. Anguil offers several different multi-stage Thermal Oxidizers (Regenerative, Recuperative, and Direct-Fired) and Vapor Combustor Units (VCU) that achieve >99% destruction efficiency with minimal maintenance and NOₓ formation.
Material Mining & Active Material Processing
From lithium extraction to powder synthesis, emissions and contaminated wastewater are common. We provide oxidizers for SOₓ, HF, and other hazardous compounds, turnkey wastewater systems for treating metals and inorganic contaminants, and add-on acid gas scrubbers for handling corrosive particulates.
Cell Coating & Finishing Solvent Abatement
Solvent-based processes, especially those involving N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), require advanced control. Anguil’s Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs), Emissions Concentrators, and Solvent Recovery Systems are optimized for high solvent loads and stringent NMP regulations.
Battery Recycling
Recycling lithium-ion batteries generates off-gases, particulates, and wastewater containing heavy metals and solvents. Anguil offers integrated air and water treatment systems—including Thermal Oxidizers, particulate control equipment, and chemical filtration units—to help recyclers manage emissions, recover valuable materials, and maintain environmental compliance.
Battery Testing
Thermal runaway testing, formation cycling, and other diagnostic procedures can release hazardous vapors and particulates. Anguil provides emission capture and treatment solutions tailored for these controlled environments, ensuring safe operation and compliance without compromising test integrity.
Electrolyte Manufacturing
The production and handling of battery electrolytes often release volatile solvents and reactive compounds. Anguil’s engineered solutions—including RTOs and Solvent Recovery Systems—control emissions efficiently while supporting product purity, operator safety, and regulatory standards.
This is not a comprehensive list of applications. We are constantly building custom solutions and combining multiple treatment technologies to best serve our clients’ pollution control needs. If you don’t see your application listed above, contact us to find the ideal solution for your application.

Battery Production Pollution Control FAQs
What are the typical pollutants from the lithium-ion battery recycling processes?
The exact compounds expected will depend on the battery chemistry however Anguil typically sees dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, methanol and ethanol. The battery recycling technology can also impact the compounds expected and whether HF will be present. Special materials of construction in the oxidizer will be required if hydrogen fluoride is present.
What are the primary wastewater pollutants coming from the battery manufacturing supply chain?
The applications for water treatment in the battery lifecycle are varied due to the variety of processes and the materials involved. We often see graphite, lead and calcium carbonate particulates that require reduction or removal along with the need for pH control from process and wastewaters.
How are interest process exhausts handled from active material processing kilns?
Anguil has a specialty system design that ensures that the inert process stream is safely mixed with the required oxygen needed for combustion and oxidation. In addition to being able to handle potentially dangerous fumes, Anguil also has expertise in inorganic dust removal that can also be present in active material processing projects.
