Our audits cover:
✅ Dust control and measurement
✅ Airflow and pressure drop
✅ Filter cleaning / dust removal
✅ Ductwork systems — including the option of 3D modelling of the network and recommendations for improvement

We then support our customers all the way through to implementation, providing a quotation and a turnkey solution (design and build).

Our expertise covers heavy industry — including steelmaking, petrochemicals and chemicals — as well as installations of all sizes, from compact dust collectors to high-capacity units, for both fume and dust treatment. We also offer chemical treatment solutions and VOC capture systems.

Our recent audits are good examples of this expertise. In one particular case, we audited a chemical filtration system with hot-air injection, designed to meet specific process requirements.

• What is your role at Airwatec?

Project Manager: Once a project is sold by our sales team, I take over and stay involved until the commissioning of each project.

And how would you describe your job in 3 words?
Measurement, Design and Implementation

• What do you like most about your job?

Starting from scratch, measuring and imagining a tailor-made solution each time in an industrial environment, and carrying out the engineering, design, material preparation, and on-site implementation at the customer’s premises.

Juggling these different aspects of project management to achieve a final goal is very satisfying for me.

• Can you explain a project you particularly enjoyed working on?

A client needed to evacuate plastic shavings resulting from their production process. We therefore designed a complete solution, from extraction at the client’s machines to the outside, to gather all the shavings in one place. The filtered warm air is then reintroduced into the building.

In my opinion, this project was very complete, both in terms of installation, design, and ingenuity.

The cherry on top: the client was so satisfied with the result that they ordered an identical installation right next to it.

• What motivates you in your daily work?

The variety of my job, as no two days are the same. And the freedom to take responsibility to successfully complete the projects I manage. It’s a double-edged sword, but all the more rewarding.

• Office or on-site?

A mix is ideal!

With strong experience in strategic development, key account management, and commercial performance management, this multilingual civil engineer joins our teams with the ambition to accelerate our growth and strengthen our positioning in our key markets.

We warmly welcome him and are confident that his commitment will fully contribute to the collective success of our AIR & Engineering teams.

As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Airwatec has equipped its headquarters with 632 photovoltaic modules of 380 Wp, providing a total installed capacity of 240.16 kWp.
Commissioned in March 2021, this installation produces clean, local, and renewable energy, significantly reducing the company’s environmental footprint.

Consistent and responsible energy generation

Since the start of production, the solar installation has generated impressive amounts of electricity:

• 2021: 204.433 MWh
• 2022: 252.954 MWh
• 2023: 229.047 MWh
• 2024: 200.453 MWh

This green energy covers a significant share of the site’s electricity needs and contributes actively to the energy transition.

A tangible environmental impact 🌍

Since August 17, 2021, the photovoltaic installation has saved approximately 257 tons of CO₂, which corresponds to:

• 🚗 88,745 liters of fuel,
• 🔥 128,681 m³ of natural gas,
• ⛏ 91 tons of coal.

A clear demonstration of how renewable energy helps build a cleaner and more sustainable future.

The benefits of solar power

• Renewable and clean – no CO₂ emissions or air pollutants
• Energy independence – local generation reduces reliance on the grid
• Durable – reliable technology ensuring long-term performance
• Environmental commitment – a concrete step toward a more sustainable world

Through this initiative, Airwatec reinforces its role as a responsible and forward-thinking company, contributing to a greener industrial future.

In addition, the company continues on this path through the electrification of its vehicle fleet (cars and bicycles) and the installation of charging stations and energy storage batteries for its own use.
Because the long-term sustainability of the company can no longer be envisioned without respecting the environment, Airwatec places environmental responsibility at the core of its management and development strategy.

We are proud to announce once again the successful validation of our VCA-Petrochemicals audit – proof of our continued commitment to industrial safety.

The VCA-P certification allows us to access our clients’ industrial sites and contributes to the safety of our team of expert installers.

The VCA-P certification (Safety, Health and Environment Checklist for Contractors – Petrochemicals) is an internationally recognized standard that sets high requirements for safety and risk management in complex work environments. Our VCA-P certification ensures that we not only comply with general safety standards, but also have in-depth knowledge and specific protocols tailored to demanding sectors such as petrochemicals.

Thanks to this certification, we continue to be a reliable partner who puts work quality and the safety of its staff first.

Airwatec and its team have just successfully completed an ambitious engineering project in the steel industry. The objective was to design and implement a fume capture system for a shot blasting process.

This project presented numerous technical challenges. The process in question is particularly demanding, and the environment presents extreme conditions: significant fouling, high temperatures and absolute reliability requirements. Faced with these challenges, Airwatec drew on its expertise in design, manufacturing and installation to develop a solution perfectly suited to the customer’s needs and constraints.

The installation includes a retractable hood and a network of ducting made of Corten steel, a material renowned for its robustness and resistance in harsh environments. This system will not only help to improve working conditions for staff, but also optimise the quality of the air discharged, in line with our commitment to protecting the environment.

With this project, Airwatec confirms its ability to take on the most complex challenges and offer innovative and reliable solutions.

AIRWATEC is at your disposal to support your projects and work with you to design installations that meet your industrial and environmental challenges.

After many years of dedicated service, Henri Mond and Marc Beyens are now entering their well-earned retirement. We extend our heartfelt thanks to both for their outstanding work, unwavering commitment, and significant contributions to the development of Airwatec over the years. Henri Mond will continue to support the company for a transitional period with his technical expertise.

The role of Technical Director is now taken over by Cédric Mond, who succeeds his father Henri Mond and carries forward the company’s technical expertise into the next generation. Marc Beyens’ position will be assumed by Frederik Bouteca. These two appointments reflect both continuity and a fresh momentum in the company’s leadership.

Furthermore, Bruno MICHEL is gradually stepping back from operational activities, while continuing to support Airwatec for several more years thanks to his experience and his commitment to standing alongside the new management team.

The general management of Airwatec SA is still entrusted to Eric Simons. Also joining the leadership team is Frederik Dejaeghere, who assumes the role of Commercial Director for WATER, AIR and ENGINEERING.

Both Frederik Bouteca and Frederik Dejaeghere are from Kortrijk and part of the Austin Active Partners Holding. With strong entrepreneurial spirit and motivation, they bring new energy to the Airwatec SA administrators team and will guide the company towards continued innovation and forward-looking development. While Frederik Dejaeghere will be active in day-to-day operations, Frederik Bouteca will take on a more discreet, financial advisory role behind the scene.

During this negotiation process, special attention has been paid to maintaining the core values that define Airwatec.

Technical excellence, precision, and a deeply human approach remain at the heart of everything we do.

We look to the future with confidence. Together towards new goals!
