Ohio Air Permitting: How CPI Supports Your Compliance Process
CPI designs and builds oxidizer systems — we are not a permitting firm, and every Ohio 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 Ohio EPA rules and any applicable local air agency requirements, is strongly recommended.
What CPI provides to support that process:
-
Equipment data for your permit application. Emission rates, destruction/removal efficiency, stack parameters, fuel usage, and control technology specifications.
-
Designs built to the compliance target. Our applications engineering team works with the parties responsible for your permitting to confirm the oxidizer meets your permit's destruction efficiency and reporting requirements.
-
Post-startup compliance support, providing equipment performance data for permit evaluation reports or agency inspections.
-
A proven Illinois track record. CPI oxidizer systems are permitted and operating across Ohio — enabling our customers to operate in compliance with their permit obligations.
For general reference, Ohio air permits are administered by the Ohio EPA, Division of Air Pollution Control (DAPC), within U.S. EPA Region 5. Most new or modified oxidizer installations require a Permit-to-Install (PTI) for Title V facilities or a combined Permit-to-Install and Operate (PTIO) for non-Title V facilities — see the DAPC's permit application overview for details. Depending on the county, some permit applications are reviewed by a local District Office or Local Air Agency rather than DAPC directly — for example, facilities in Cuyahoga County work through the Cleveland Division of Air Quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does CPI manufacture regenerative thermal oxidizers for Ohio facilities?
Yes. CPI designs and manufactures custom RTOs, catalytic oxidizers, and thermal oxidizers for Ohio manufacturers, drawing on successful implementations throughout Ohio and across the United States.
Does CPI have any oxidizers currently operating in Ohio?
Yes — CPI oxidizer systems are installed and operating at Ohio facilities, permitted and accepted by the Ohio EPA. This in-state track record means Ohio regulators are already familiar with CPI's equipment and documentation approach.
Does CPI provide aftermarket service and maintenance in Ohio?
Yes. CPI's aftermarket service is performed by direct CPI employees, rather than third-party contractors.
Does CPI only service oxidizers it manufactured, or other brands too?
CPI services most makes and models of regenerative thermal oxidizers, catalytic oxidizers, and thermal oxidizers — not just CPI-built systems.
Does CPI handle Ohio EPA air permitting for my facility?
No. CPI is not a permitting firm. Seek expert guidance from an environmental consultant, EHS, or engineering resource to confirm your specific permit requirements - CPI provides the supporting oxidizer information necessary for the permitting process.
Does CPI work with environmental consultants?
Yes, CPI works closely with environmental consultants on BACT/MACT analysis and project support, and maintains a proven track record of oxidizers operating in Ohio.
