Met-Pro Corporation's Systems Business Unit Receives Equipment Orders Totaling
Approximately $1.2 Million

HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 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.
