North Carolina Air Permitting: How CPI Supports Your Compliance Process
CPI designs and builds oxidizer systems — we are not a permitting firm, and every North Carolina facility's permit obligations depend on details specific to that site. Engaging an air permitting professional who is familiar not just with federal requirements, but with North Carolina's air permitting rules, is strongly recommended.
Here's how CPI fits into that process:
- Technical data your permit application will need. Emission rates, destruction/removal efficiency, stack parameters, fuel usage, and control technology specifications, delivered as part of every proposal.
- A design matched to your compliance target. Our applications engineering team coordinates with the parties responsible for your permitting so the oxidizer is sized to meet your permit's destruction efficiency and reporting requirements from day one.
- Ongoing support once you're operating. Equipment performance data for emissions reporting or agency inspections, whenever your compliance team needs it.
- A track record North Carolina regulators already recognize. CPI oxidizer systems are permitted and operating across North Carolina, helping our customers stay in compliance with their permit obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can CPI manufacture a regenerative thermal oxidizer for a North Carolina facility?
Yes. CPI designs and manufactures custom RTOs, catalytic oxidizers, and thermal oxidizers for North Carolina manufacturers, built on successful implementations throughout North Carolina and nationwide.
Are there CPI oxidizers already running in North Carolina today?
Yes — CPI oxidizer systems are installed and operating at North Carolina facilities, permitted and accepted by the applicable agency. That in-state history means North Carolina regulators are already familiar with how CPI designs and documents its systems.
Does my facility apply through the state DAQ, or through a local program like Mecklenburg or Forsyth County?
It depends on location. Most of North Carolina applies through DEQ's Division of Air Quality, but facilities in Buncombe, Mecklenburg, or Forsyth County go through those counties' own air programs instead. Your permitting consultant, EHS team, or engineering group can confirm which authority applies to your site.
Will CPI service equipment it didn't originally manufacture?
Yes. CPI services most makes and models of regenerative thermal oxidizers, catalytic oxidizers, and thermal oxidizers, not only the systems we built ourselves.
Does CPI manage DAQ (or local program) permitting on our behalf?
No. CPI is not a permitting firm. We recommend confirming your specific requirements with an environmental consultant, EHS resource, or engineering team - CPI's role is supplying the oxidizer information that process depends on.
Is CPI a resource for environmental consultants working on North Carolina projects?
Yes. CPI works closely with environmental consultants on BACT/MACT analysis and project support, backed by a proven track record of oxidizers already operating in North Carolina.
