While many companies show difficulty evolving over the long term, DEC continues to lead the sector through constant technological evolution; how is this drive toward the future cultivated within the company?

For DEC, innovation is not a goal to achieve, but rep­resents the core principle on which our entire industrial history is founded. We cultivate this drive toward the fu­ture through constant investment in research and devel­opment, focusing on the design of advanced systems for air pollution control that anticipate global market needs.

Our engineering team works closely with Customers to transform environmental challenges into opportunities for energy and operational efficiency; a clear example of this approach is the development of our solvent recovery units and regenerative thermal oxidation systems. We do not just replicate existing technologies; we constantly study and optimize thermodynamic and adsorption processes to guarantee superior performance. This attitude of continuous evolution is passed down from generation to generation, allowing us to maintain a solid and globally recognized technological leadership.

DEC boasts thousands of projects globally; what does the concept of experience mean concretely for your company, and how does it translate into value added for the market?

Throughout the industrial history of DEC, we have designed thousands of systems in every corner of the world, facing every operational condition. This extensive base of installed systems represents a unique information asset; thanks to operational data collected over time, we have the ability to constantly optimize every process.

Today, we can apply and test new technologies simultaneously across dozens of active plants, monitoring the performance of new processes in real time and under different operating conditions. This scientific approach allows us to measure the real effectiveness of each innovation, refining engineering configurations with extreme precision and immediately transferring these technological benefits to our Customers.

The sector of VOC, volatile organic compounds, emissions treatment is experiencing a profound transformation, driven by increasingly strict regulations and integration with industrial decarbonization projects; what are the global macro trends that you are observing, and how is DEC guiding the development of new processes to meet these needs?

Currently, not all markets experience the same priorities, due to both the impact of local regulations and differing energy costs. Today, one of the biggest challenges in the sector is the training of operators and maintenance personnel, within a context characterized by high turnover rates.

DEC develops its processes by considering first that the proposed technologies must be concretely sustainable; this means they must be easy to implement. We have our own vision called the “KISS” approach to technolog­ical development, a corporate philosophy that means “Keep It Simple & Safe”.

The “KISS” Principle: Keeping processes efficient, simple, and safe right from the engineering phase allows for scalability and rapid, efficient implementation on a global scale.

Experience teaches us that it is not necessary to design thermodynamic labyrinths or unnecessarily complex re­generation cycles to impress the market; true innovation lies in achieving the best results through linear design, guaranteeing maximum energy efficiency for our Cus­tomers, all without unnecessary complications.

DEC is present in over 50 countries, with a commercial structure that supports Customers globally; how are you structured in Europe and around the world?

DEC is a historic company, 100% Italian; we are present in Europe with offices in Italy, Switzerland, and Luxem­bourg. For Asia, we have our headquarters in Shanghai, China. We have four production centers located in different areas of the world, including Italy, Egypt, India, and China. In a constantly evolving market with strong pressures on supply chains, we must balance logistical needs and production costs, always operating without quality compromises and keeping key materials coming from the Italian supply chain, always preserving our origins and protecting “Made in Italy”.

A Reliable Partner for the Customer

Choosing DEC means relying on a structured partner capable of managing the project in its entirety, from initial engineering design up to final commissioning and subsequent maintenance; contractual transparency and technical reliability are the pillars on which the relationship with each Customer is founded.
