Australian Mine Selects Anguil RTO for New South Wales VAM Project

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – January 29, 2026 – Anguil Environmental Systems, Inc. (Anguil) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract for the supply and manufacture of a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) for the abatement of Ventilation Air Methane (VAM) for GM3’s Appin Mine at Douglas Park, New South Wales, Australia. This highly anticipated project will serve as a demonstration plant to the Australian underground coal mining industry, providing valuable insights and data to inform future projects for the abatement of VAM in Australia. Construction is underway with commissioning scheduled for 4th quarter 2026. The project reflects GM3’s long-term commitment to delivering sustainability across all aspects of their business.

The GM3 Appin RTO will convert methane present in the mine ventilation air to carbon dioxide and water vapor without requiring additional fuel at low methane concentrations. Methane has over 28 times the greenhouse gas potential than CO2. The conversion of methane to CO2 represents a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for GM3. Once operational, the demonstration plant is expected to abate approximately 36,000 tons eCO₂ each year.

The Anguil RTO is a proven VAM control device capable of handling a range of methane levels. Anguil has successfully supplied over 25 RTOs worldwide at coal mines. The Anguil RTO design is field proven to guarantee 98+% methane destruction while achieving high thermal efficiency. The Anguil RTO is a modular design and scalable to allow for multiple RTOs to be used in parallel to treat the largest of vent shaft flows.

Anguil will execute the project in collaboration with our Australian VAM RTO partner, Gasco Pty Ltd (Gasco). Based in Melbourne, Gasco will provide local engineering, supervision, service and maintenance support. Gasco has been providing methane abatement systems to coal mines already through their portfolio of products which include coal mine drainage gas flares – both enclosed and elevated.

Anguil Awarded Maturing Status by Green Masters Program

The Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council has once again recognized Anguil Environmental Systems, Inc. for its sustainability efforts as part of its Green Masters Program.

Recognizing sustainable actions by businesses from across the state of Wisconsin, the Green Masters program works to identify companies that have taken actions within a variety of sustainability pillars. Participants receive recognition for their sustainability accomplishments and use the program to develop ideas to plan future sustainability actions.

For the tenth year in a row, Anguil has been recognized as a Wisconsin Green Masters Program Participant. In 2023, the Green Masters program updated its award categories, leading Anguil to be awarded Maturing status within our industry. The Green Masters Program provides a third-party, objective set of criteria for defining sustainability initiatives and legitimizes our work to push sustainability into our supply chain. Anguil is continually evaluated and accepted based on our involvement in key areas of environmental stewardship, community involvement and impact, employee experience, and sustainable governance.

While the corporate landscape continues to adapt and adjust post-pandemic, Anguil has continued to make strides in its sustainability efforts. A major project completed in 2024 included the removal of single-use plastics throughout the Anguil corporate headquarters in Milwaukee; reusable and/or sustainably-produced utensils, bowls, plates, cups, and mugs are stocked in each kitchen, and each employee received a set of reusable corn-based utensils. Additionally, Anguil’s employee-led sustainability team has implemented a switch from single-use batteries to rechargeable batteries throughout the corporate office.

On Anguil’s sustainability goals, the executive team believes, “It is important to us that every employee knows what we stand for, our values, and future goals. This takes some work, practice, repetition, and belief. In the end, it revolves around communication from every level of our organization. With this, we believe we can create a more sustainable company, saving time, money, and resources — which then opens the door for more opportunity and growth.”

The Green Masters Program is an objective, point-based recognition, assessment, and certification program that enables Wisconsin businesses from any size or sector to measure and improve their sustainability strategy. The program has four levels of participation: Adapting, Advancing, Maturing, and Green Master. Anguil has achieved Maturing status. Each year the top quartile of the program’s companies are recognized as Green Master companies at the annual WSBC Conference, held in November.

“The Green Masters Program is a tool for businesses to assess and grow their sustainability actions, to benchmark against others in their industry, and to receive a third party credential recognizing their sustainability achievements,” says WSBC’s managing director, Jessy Servi Ortiz.

Industry Collaboration Helps Sterilizer Meet New Ethylene Oxide (EO) Regulation Ahead of Compliance Date

Under new regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), sterilization companies that utilize Ethylene Oxide (EO) have until April 2026 to ensure pollution control technologies are in place to remove up to 99.99% of the emissions coming from aeration rooms, sterilization chamber exhausts, and back vents, or shut down production.

Meeting and measuring to these strict standards will be challenging. Many sterilizers are scrambling to purchase new combustion systems and monitoring devices to meet the deadline, but two industry experts are offering alternatives.

One such sterilizer in the United States engaged Anguil Environmental Systems and Montrose Environmental to see what could be done to retrofit an existing catalytic oxidizer with peak shaver that was originally designed for 99.9% removal or less than 1ppm per the previous regulations. Anguil, a pollution control system provider, and Montrose, a monitoring and testing supplier, met with the sterilizer to evaluate the system.

Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to simulate flow and heat transfer within the induced draft system, engineers at Anguil recommended internal modifications be made within the oxidizer structure. Constructed of stainless steel, the internal modifications included multiple mixing vanes that provided sufficient blending to provide uniform flow and temperature distribution into the catalyst. Modifications were also made to the burner configuration to ensure better mixing, uniform temperature and flow distribution within the oxidizer.

During testing, Montrose simultaneously monitored the outlet of the peak shaver (catalytic oxidizer inlet) as well as the catalytic oxidizer outlet. Montrose utilized the Thermo Fisher Scientific™ Optically Enhanced MAX-IR™ OE-FTIR Gas Analyzer gas analyzer which allowed for measuring the outlet down to sub ppb levels while also measuring the inlet, where concentrations can be in the hundreds of ppm (without having to dilute the sample).

Through this industry collaboration, the sterilizer was able to meet and prove compliance with the new regulatory standards without purchasing a new abatement device or shutting down production.

Anguil Environmental’s Proven EO Abatement Equipment

Catalytic Oxidizers are one of the most widely accepted control technologies available to control VOC emissions from the EO sterilization processes. Combining our flagship catalytic oxidizer with a peak shaver, Anguil’s EO abatement systems have helped clients achieve 99.99% destruction efficiency and limited EO concentrations to under one part-per-million by volume.

Anguil systems ensure zero leakage of EO from the oxidizer and safe operation by integrating the peak shaver, a packed tower counter-flow water scrubber, that absorbs ethylene oxide gas into the water by ensuring a high contact area between the gas and the water, preventing unsafe, high concentration conditions.

Benefits of partnering with Anguil Environmental for your abatement needs:

• Removal efficiencies of 99.99% to meet requirements in the US EPA NESHAP or as low as 0.5 mg/Nm³ to satisfy European regulations.
• Custom oxidation technologies to accommodate space restraints and site-specific requirements.
• The necessary experience to modify existing abatement systems to meet the new regulations.
• Local manufacturing and service capabilities throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia for short equipment lead times and service response.
• Integrated Peak Shavers/Balancers with specialty mixers and detonation arrestors to ensure safe and effective operation.
• Natural gas, electric, propane, steam, or hydrogen heated oxidizers for carbon reduction initiatives.
• Over 25 years with EO abatement experience!

Montrose Environmental’s Proven Measurement Design

Montrose Environmental Group and Thermo Fisher Scientific have collaborated to provide an all-encompassing solution for organizations facing challenges in EO emissions monitoring, testing, and regulatory compliance. By integrating Montrose’s extensive project services expertise with Thermo Fisher’s cutting-edge Optically Enhanced MAX-IR™ OE-FTIR Gas Analyzer, clients gain access to a powerful combination that streamlines their efforts to meet stringent regulations.

The EMS-10™ Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) is a fully automated 4-channel stack emission monitoring system which integrates the Thermo Fisher OE-FTIR analyzer. The EMS-10 system can quantify ethylene oxide down to a detection limit of under 1 ppb while maintaining short cycle times. The EMS-10 was designed to meet all the requirements found in PS-19 and operates as a continuous monitor with little-to-no user interaction.
