Thursday, October 23rd 2008

Raymond J. De Hont, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Met-Pro Corporation (NYSE: MPR), announced today that the Company’s Systems business unit has received approximately $1.2 million in orders to design and fabricate thermal oxidizer systems. These orders, one from a Fortune 500 company in the Southwest United States and the other from a landfill gas purification customer in the Northeast United States, are expected to be delivered during the fourth quarter of the Company’s current fiscal year ending January 31, 2009.

“These orders reinforce Met-Pro Systems’ reputation as a supplier of choice for field-proven thermal oxidation systems,” stated De Hont. “They represent another example of Met-Pro’s wide range of solutions to help solve the challenges of protecting our environment while serving business and industry around the world. We continue to be pleased by the steady stream of customer interest in our Systems business unit’s products and remain optimistic about our prospects for future orders of this type.”

For each of these projects, a specialty oil drilling chemical process and a landfill gas purification system, Met-Pro Systems will supply a thermal oxidizer system that will destroy hazardous air pollutants. Both oxidizer systems will include provisions for future energy recovery.

Met-Pro Systems was awarded this repeat business based on prior successful thermal oxidizer installations for both customers. Its strong reputation for highly energy efficient thermal oxidizers and the ability to uniquely tailor its designs to exceed customer requirements were also key factors.
