Dyna-Therm found its origins in Houston, Texas in the late 1950’s.  Inventors and engineers  at Dyna-Therm began experimenting and studying the nature and physical properties involved in mechanical separation.  

Bruce Wright was one of the driving forces in the invention of the Dyna-Therm Corporation design for the Whirl-A-Way, single-state, centrifugal separator.  At that time, Dyna-Therm began to manufacture separators utilizing this design.

In the mid 1970’s, the current owner and President, F. S. “Scottie” Lyons, began new tests in order to prevent excess field maintance.  In this endeavor, Dyna-Therm established new guidelines in the design of centrifugal separators reducing field maintance by 98%.  These new guidelines assisted Dyna-Therm in developing the highly efficient and unmatched solids separator, model DRLH.
