Renewable Resources
Our team strives to be good stewards of our natural resources. Through our work to develop Efficient Engineered Solutions, we help our customers conserve, reuse, and recycle our shared natural resources and develop technology to efficiently produce renewable energy.
get in touch
Our portfolio includes a broad array of projects working with our clients to develop new sustainable technologies or design the engineering systems required to efficiently implement their vision.
Over the past 25 years, the PTI team has shared exciting opportunities to work on new and developing technologies. Just a few of our projects include used lube oil recycling; renewable natural gas treating and conditioning; renewable gas and natural fertilizer generated from anaerobic digestion; controlled environment vertical farming; carbon recovery and capture from flue gas streams; advanced technology development and testing for flue gas scrubbing to capture CO2 and convert target pollutant constituents to fertilizer and other marketable product streams.
We look forward to the sustainability projects we will work on in the next 25 years.

Water Reclamation, Treating, and Recycling
Our client approached us with the challenge to reduce their municipal water costs at their machine wash facility by reclaiming spent wash water, treating, and reusing it in another part of their process. The current technology for direct recycling and filtration systems suffers from maintenance headaches and excessive odor problems and is not an option.
After completing the design and reviewing the 3D Model with our client, we fabricated the initial prototype in our Plano, Texas facility. With the system in our shop, our engineers and shop personnel completed an initial function test and performance run before shipping the unit to our client’s facility.
