Australian clean air technology company Sprintex is making strides in European agriculture with a $6.3 million (€3.8M) purchase order for its compressor systems aimed at reducing ammonia emissions in the Netherlands.
The deal, announced today on the ASX, will see 200 Sprintex-Mest compressor units deployed across Dutch farms. Priced at $31,000 each, these systems will be manufactured at Mest Water’s new 31,000m² facility in Tubbergen, Netherlands. This move is a significant step in tackling the region’s growing agricultural emissions concerns.
Sprintex CEO Jay Upton expressed the importance of the project, saying, “Walking through rural towns in the Netherlands, it’s striking how prevalent ammonia emissions are in the air — it’s something that millions of people are exposed to daily.” He added, “We are proud to be part of Mest Water’s groundbreaking solution, delivering technology that reduces emissions and transforms waste into valuable resources.”
Production of the units is set to begin in March, with initial volumes of 30 units per month. The companies aim to scale operations significantly, targeting a minimum production of 1,000 units annually by 2026, potentially generating $31 million in revenue.
Mest Water CEO Arjan Mensink highlighted the importance of the development, noting, “Our patented ZLD-Up is the culmination of nine years of development in manure processing, representing the most advanced system available today.”
This breakthrough deal could have broader implications for the European Union, where strict ammonia emission regulations under the National Emission Reduction Commitments Directive are driving demand for innovative technologies like Sprintex’s compressors.
