Forty years of getting the packed bed right.
Lantec manufactures proprietary tower packing for pollution control and mass transfer applications, and ceramic heat recovery media for regenerative thermal oxidizers. Founded 1986, headquartered in Agoura Hills, California. OEMs, end users, and retrofitters of air and water treatment systems find a lifelong partner in Lantec — many have evolved into the leading system suppliers in their domains.
Lantec products begin with a geometry question: what surface structure maximizes gas-liquid contact at the specific flow conditions of the application? The answer has changed four times for plastic packing and three times for ceramic media — because the answer keeps getting better.
Q-PAC®'s 11,000 drip points per cubic foot didn't emerge from a marketing brief. They emerged from testing what actually happens inside a packed column at high gas velocities, and designing the geometry to handle it. The same first-principles reasoning applies to MLM® Multi-Layer Media for RTOs — dramatically higher heat capacity per cubic foot than conventional saddles, at lower pressure drop, is a geometric consequence of how the media is structured.
Lantec maintains a testing facility in Baldwin Park, California, where products are continually refined and measured against real operating conditions — not just data sheet projections. The numbers on Lantec data sheets come from this facility.
Existing scrubbers that switch to Q-PAC® operate at higher velocities and achieve higher removal efficiencies. Existing RTOs that switch to MLM® experience dramatically lower pressure drop and reduced plugging — and Lantec's media costs less to begin with. Performance claims are supported by case histories drawn from operating installations, not laboratory conditions.
OEMs of air and water treatment systems find a lifelong partner in Lantec. Many Lantec customers have evolved into the world's best system suppliers in their respective domains — in part because Lantec treats their project success as its own responsibility.
This means fast response times on orders and performance questions, a free process design service available to end-users, OEMs, and retrofitters — tailored to the specific goals and parameters of your process — and a performance warranty on packing sold for a Lantec-designed project.
At Lantec's testing facility in Baldwin Park, products are continually refined and performance-measured under real operating conditions. This is not a marketing laboratory — it's where the numbers on the data sheets come from.
Testing is ongoing, not episodic. When field data from an installed system raises a question about performance, the testing facility is where that question gets answered. The cycle from field observation to product refinement to validated performance is what four generations of packing development looks like in practice.
Existing scrubbers that switch to Q-PAC® will subsequently be able to operate at higher velocities and achieve even higher removal efficiencies. Existing RTOs that switch to MLM® experience dramatically lower pressure drop and reduced plugging — and Lantec's media costs less to begin with.
Many Lantec customers have evolved into the world's best system suppliers in their domains — in part because Lantec treats their project success as its own. Fast response on orders and technical questions is part of what that partnership means in practice.
Packed bed replacement is often the fastest route to higher throughput in an existing system. Lantec's free process design service is available for retrofit projects — specifying the right packing type, bed depth, and expected performance gain for your existing tower configuration.
Facility operators and process engineers working directly on their own treatment systems. Lantec's process design service helps end-users understand their options before committing to a purchase — and the performance warranty applies when Lantec designed the bed.
Lantec's free process design service covers new system design and retrofit evaluation across most applications in which Lantec products are used. For existing systems, Lantec engineers can evaluate alternative packings in the current tower and identify available performance gains. For new systems, we'll specify the right media, size the bed, and project removal efficiency — before you commit to a purchase.
"All packing supplied to a given project is sold with a performance warranty when the design for that project was supplied by Lantec Products."
The warranty exists because of a specific structural condition: when Lantec designs the packed bed, Lantec controls the variables that determine whether performance meets spec. That accountability is the warranty. It's not a promotional claim — it's an engineering statement about who is responsible for the result.
