About Beta Control Systems

Beta Control Systems, Inc. was founded in 1981 as an environmental research and development corporation focused on providing state-of-the-art technology to the metal finishing and electronics industries. Over the past years, the company has installed over 120 resource recovery systems throughout the world, making Beta the worldwide industry leader with the largest number of acid recovery installations. 

In 1996, Beta received the Commercialization Achievement Award by the U.S Department of Energy for our work in developing a hydrochloric acid recovery system. The new technology recovers spent hydrochloric acid from metal pickling operations such as steel mills, wire plants, strip steel pickling, and galvanizing plants. The technology, which also yields a valuable co-product, accomplishes this while using less than 40% of the energy demanded by competing technologies. The capital cost of the technology is also less than half of the other available technologies, making it economical for many middle and small size plants.

Beta is well known throughout the world steel industry as the leader in acid recovery technology, but our scientists and engineers continue to develop technologies that will help customers reach their goals of sustainable development in the twenty-first century. Beta has published many articles in trade journals and presented in almost every major international forum.

Corporate Philosophy

We proudly place our name on every installation and work to ensure that our customer is just as proud to have our product. We firmly believe that the Best Environmental Technology Available must include resource recovery, and we have made providing it our life’s work.
