Services
Marine Exhaust Systems
Custom-engineered marine exhaust systems using fiberglass reinforced plastics and stainless steel components. Our systems safely manage high-temperature gases while minimizing backpressure. Solutions include wet and dry exhaust configurations with noise reduction technology for commercial and recreational vessels.
Ventilation Systems
Comprehensive ventilation solutions for marine engine rooms featuring moisture eliminators and specialized fans. Systems maintain optimal airflow while preventing water ingress. Components meet US Coast Guard certification standards for safety and reliability in harsh marine environments.
Environmental Products
Advanced emission control products including Bilge-Kleen filtration and Xeamos-certified DPF/SCR systems. Solutions reduce NOx, soot, and hydrocarbon emissions while maintaining engine performance. Systems comply with IMO Tier III regulations and NECAs requirements for global operations.
Metal Risers
Custom stainless steel riser fabrication with thermal protection features. Components include ANSI flanges and vibration-isolated mounting systems. Products combine corrosion resistance with heat management through proprietary hardcoat formulas and engineered bellows for thermal expansion.
DPF Cleaning Services
Professional diesel particulate filter cleaning services for Xeamos systems. Preventive maintenance extends filter life and reduces operating costs. Services maintain low backpressure while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations through specialized cleaning processes.

Report
Great products, great technical support. I have Vernatone mufflers, Vernatube fiberglass exhaust tubes, 45 degree elbows, t-sweeps, and couplers in my '78 Bertram 31. Nothing but a positive experience replacing steel with Centek products.
