Delta CleanTech

Delta CleanTech is a Canadian industrial technology company focused on carbon capture and solvent reclamation for heavy industry. Operating since 2004, the company describes itself as having "revolutionized how companies manage their environmental footprints" by perfecting the science of carbon capture while stripping away unnecessary complexity to create commercially viable, open-source solutions. Its stated mission is to balance emissions reduction with energy security, delivering practical technologies for industrial CO2 capture and solvent reclamation. Delta CleanTech's core offering is the CarbX modular carbon capture system, which the company says is the most advanced amine-based carbon capture solution in Western Canada. CarbX is designed for both pre- and post-combustion emissions and scales from 4 to 1,200 tonnes of CO2 per day, with up to 99% CO2 recovery. The system emphasizes optimized process configuration, heat recovery, thermal balancing, and flow optimization to reduce equipment size and solvent regeneration energy, lowering the cost per tonne of CO2 captured. It is complemented by SolvX, a range of proprietary, royalty-free solvent formulations engineered for lower vapour pressure, viscosity, and degradation, and higher CO2 absorption rates. PureRX, an integrated solvent reclaimer, recovers and maintains the integrity of solvents, glycols, and other industrial liquids, supporting ESG compliance and long-term reliability. Beyond hardware, Delta CleanTech provides owner's engineering services, partnering with clients' preferred EPC teams, and performance optimization services backed by proprietary software that scales plant design, predicts performance, and optimizes operations. The company positions itself as offering end-to-end carbon capture solutions — from initial owner's engineering to full turnkey delivery and dedicated after-sales support — as part of the Scovan group of companies, leveraging Scovan's EPFC (engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction) capabilities. Delta CleanTech is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, and serves industrial clients in Western Canada and beyond. Its leadership team includes Chief Operating Officer Kelly Mantei, P.Eng., a professional engineer and former naval officer with over three decades of leadership in engineering, manufacturing, and energy innovation, and Engineering Lead Lin Li, M.Sc., P.Eng., M.Eng. The company publishes insights on topics such as the strategic advantage of royalty-free solvents and the role of modular carbon capture in Canada's evolving energy landscape.

Delta CleanTech has been operating since 2004, according to its official website, which states the company "has revolutionized how companies manage their environmental footprints since 2004." From its base in Western Canada, the company focused on developing practical technologies for industrial CO2 capture and solvent reclamation, addressing what it describes as the critical balance between emissions reduction and energy security. Over its history, Delta CleanTech developed and commercialized a suite of proprietary technologies. Its CarbX modular carbon capture system was engineered for both pre- and post-combustion emissions, using an optimized process configuration to maximize heat recovery, balance thermal processes, and optimize flow. The company reports that CarbX scales from 4 to 1,200 tonnes of CO2 per day and delivers up to 99% CO2 recovery, with a design that reduces equipment size and solvent regeneration energy to lower the cost per tonne captured. Complementing CarbX, Delta CleanTech introduced SolvX, a range of royalty-free, open-access solvent formulations designed for lower vapour pressure, viscosity, and degradation, and higher CO2 absorption rates. The company also developed PureRX, an integrated solvent reclaimer that recovers and maintains the integrity of solvents, glycols, and other industrial liquids, supporting ESG compliance. A significant development in the company's history was its integration into the Scovan group of companies. As part of Scovan, Delta CleanTech is able to leverage Scovan's EPFC (engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction) capabilities to provide complete end-to-end carbon capture solutions, from initial owner's engineering to full turnkey delivery and dedicated after-sales support. This affiliation expanded Delta's ability to serve industrial clients seeking comprehensive decarbonization projects. Delta CleanTech has built a track record of successful installations and offers owner's engineering services, partnering with clients' preferred EPC teams. Its performance optimization services use proprietary software that scales plant design, predicts performance, and optimizes operations. The company continues to publish insights on carbon capture economics and modular deployment, including articles such as "Why Royalty Free Solvents Are a Strategic Advantage in Carbon Capture" and "Why Modular Carbon Capture is the Solution Canada Has Been Waiting For," reflecting its ongoing engagement with Canada's evolving energy landscape.
