This Registration Statement contains two parts: the first part contains a
Prospectus prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part 1 of Form S-3 
(in accordance with Section C of the General Instructions to Form S-8) for the
re-offer and re-sale of Common Stock of the Company to be issued upon exercise
of options granted or to be granted under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan
and offered and sold by certain Control Persons (as hereafter defined).

The second part contains information required in the Registration Statement 
pursuant to Form S-8.

                              Re-offer Prospectus
                     ---------------------------------------

                              MET-PRO CORPORATION

                     ---------------------------------------

                               350,000 shares of
                                  Common Stock

                     ---------------------------------------

This Prospectus is being used in connection with the offering from time to time
by certain shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") of Met-Pro Corporation (the
"Company") of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share (the "Common
Stock") of the Company which may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of options
(the "Options") granted from time to time to certain persons associated with the
Company under the 1997 Met-Pro Corporation Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") who,
at the time of reoffer and resale, are "Control Persons" of the Company, as
hereafter defined. A "Control Person" is any Company director or executive
officer, or any person who is the beneficial owner of more than ten percent
(10%) of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. As of the date of the
filing of this Prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Options
to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock are held by Control Persons. The
Company will receive $12.00 per share upon the exercise of these currently
outstanding Options. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the
sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders. All expenses of
registration incurred in connection with this offering are being borne by the
Company, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders
in connection with the sale of the Common Stock will be borne by them.

The Company is not aware of any underwriting arrangements with respect to the
sale by the Selling Shareholders of any of the Common Stock offered herein.

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the
sale of the Common Stock hereunder might be deemed to be "Underwriters" within
the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any commissions received by
them and any profit realized on the resale of Common Stock as principals might
be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act of 1933.

Any broker-dealer acquiring Common Stock from a Selling Shareholder may sell the
Common Stock either directly, in its normal market-making activities, through or
to other brokers on a principal or agency basis, or to its customers. Any such
sales may be at prices then prevailing on the American Stock Exchange, at prices
related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at prices
reflecting the application of a combination of such methods.

The Common Stock is quoted on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol
"MPR". On January 15, 1998, the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported
by the American Stock Exchange, was $16.

                SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND
             EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION

                           DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

The Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to
18,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.10 per share. The holders of
Common Stock (i) have equal rights to dividends from funds legally available
therefor, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company;
(ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available
for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of the Company; (iii) do not have preemptive,
subscription or conversion rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable thereto; and (iv) are entitled to one vote per share on
all matters upon which shareholders may vote at all meetings of shareholders.
All shares of Common Stock now outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable.
The holders of shares of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights,
which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares, voting
for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if
they so choose. Directors are divided into three classes. Each year, one class
is elected to hold office for the next three years.

The transfer agent for the Company's Common Stock is Chemical Mellon Shareholder
Services, L.L.C., Overpark Center, 85 Challenger Road, Ridgefield Park, NJ
07660.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Any distribution of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders, or by permitted
pledgees, donee, transferees or other successors in interest, may be effected
from time to time in one or more of the following transactions: (a) to
underwriters who will acquire Shares for their own account and resell them in
one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale (any public
offering price and any discount or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to
dealers may be changed from time to time); (b) through brokers, acting as
principal or agent, in transactions (which may involve block transactions) on
the American Stock Exchange, or on one or more exchanges on which the Common
Stock is then listed, in special offerings, exchange distributions pursuant to
the rules of the applicable exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or
otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to
such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices; or (c)
directly or through brokers or agents in private sales at negotiated prices, or
by any other legally available means.

The Selling Shareholders and such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, upon
effecting a sale of Shares, may be considered "underwriters" as that term is
defined by the Securities Act.

Underwriters participating in any offering made pursuant to this Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented from time to time) may receive underwriting discounts
and commissions, and discounts or concessions may be allowed or re-allowed or
paid to dealers, and brokers or agents participating in such transaction may
receive brokerage or agent's commissions or fees.

At the time a particular offering of Shares is made, to the extent required, a
Prospectus Supplement will be distributed which will set forth the amount of
Shares, the offering price paid by an underwriter for Shares purchased from the
Selling Shareholders, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting
compensation from the Selling Shareholders and any discounts, commissions or
concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers.

The Company has advised the Selling Shareholders that Rules 10b-5, 10b-6 and
10b-7 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to their
sales in the market. The Company has made available to the Selling Shareholders
copies of these rules, and has informed the Selling Shareholders of the possible
need for them to deliver copies of this Prospectus in connection with their
resale of the Common Stock. The Selling Shareholders may indemnify any
broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sale of the Common
Stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act. Any commissions paid or any discounts or concessions allowed to
any such broker-dealer, and, if any such broker-dealer purchases Common Stock as
a principal, any profits received on the resale of such Common Stock, may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act.

Any Common Stock which qualifies for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act may be sold under the Rule rather than pursuant to this
Prospectus.

There can be no assurance that the Selling Shareholders will sell all or even
any of the Common Stock which may be offered by them or any of them hereunder.

                                INDEMNIFICATION

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended, contain
provisions that provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by law. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation
also contains a provision that limits the personal liability of its directors to
the Company or its shareholders to the fullest extent permitted by law.

In addition, the Company maintains insurance against certain liabilities
incurred by directors and officers of the Company while serving in their
capacities as such.

Reference is hereby made to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
relating to indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a
Delaware corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion
of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.           Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File
No. 001-07763) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), are hereby incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement: (i) the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Met-Pro Corporation (the
"Company") for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1997; (ii) the Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended April 30, 1997, July 31, 1997 and
October 31, 1997; and (iii) the "Description of Common Stock" contained in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-13929).

All other documents filed by the Company subsequent to the date hereof pursuant
to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be
a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained
in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration
Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently
filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part
of this Registration Statement.

Item 6.           Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Company has adopted the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware
General Corporation Act (the "Delaware Act") which eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director to the Company or its shareholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty under certain circumstances. Furthermore,
under Section 145 of the Delaware Act, the Company may, and in certain
circumstances shall, indemnify each of its directors and officers against
expenses (including reasonable costs, disbursements and counsel fees) in
connection with any proceeding involving such person by reason of having been an
officer or director, to the extent such person acted in good faith and in a
manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. The
determination of whether indemnification is proper under the circumstances,
unless made by a court, shall be made by a majority of a quorum of disinterested
members of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or the shareholders
of the Company. The Company's by-laws provide for indemnification of officers
and directors in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Act. The


                                        9

Company has purchased directors and officers liability insurance providing for
up to $3,000,000 of coverage, subject to certain deductibles.

Item 9.     Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement contains two parts: the first part contains a
Prospectus prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part 1 of Form S-3 
(in accordance with Section C of the General Instructions to Form S-8) for the
re-offer and re-sale of Common Stock of the Company to be issued upon exercise
of options granted or to be granted under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan
and offered and sold by certain Control Persons (as hereafter defined).

The second part contains information required in the Registration Statement 
pursuant to Form S-8.

                              Re-offer Prospectus
                     ---------------------------------------

                              MET-PRO CORPORATION

                     ---------------------------------------

                               350,000 shares of
                                  Common Stock

                     ---------------------------------------

This Prospectus is being used in connection with the offering from time to time
by certain shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") of Met-Pro Corporation (the
"Company") of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share (the "Common
Stock") of the Company which may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of options
(the "Options") granted from time to time to certain persons associated with the
Company under the 1997 Met-Pro Corporation Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") who,
at the time of reoffer and resale, are "Control Persons" of the Company, as
hereafter defined. A "Control Person" is any Company director or executive
officer, or any person who is the beneficial owner of more than ten percent
(10%) of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. As of the date of the
filing of this Prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Options
to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock are held by Control Persons. The
Company will receive $12.00 per share upon the exercise of these currently
outstanding Options. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the
sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders. All expenses of
registration incurred in connection with this offering are being borne by the
Company, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders
in connection with the sale of the Common Stock will be borne by them.

The Company is not aware of any underwriting arrangements with respect to the
sale by the Selling Shareholders of any of the Common Stock offered herein.

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the
sale of the Common Stock hereunder might be deemed to be "Underwriters" within
the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any commissions received by
them and any profit realized on the resale of Common Stock as principals might
be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act of 1933.

Any broker-dealer acquiring Common Stock from a Selling Shareholder may sell the
Common Stock either directly, in its normal market-making activities, through or
to other brokers on a principal or agency basis, or to its customers. Any such
sales may be at prices then prevailing on the American Stock Exchange, at prices
related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at prices
reflecting the application of a combination of such methods.

The Common Stock is quoted on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol
"MPR". On January 15, 1998, the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported
by the American Stock Exchange, was $16.

            THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY
               THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE
                SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND
             EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION
            PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
            ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

The Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to
18,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.10 per share. The holders of
Common Stock (i) have equal rights to dividends from funds legally available
therefor, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company;
(ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available
for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of the Company; (iii) do not have preemptive,
subscription or conversion rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable thereto; and (iv) are entitled to one vote per share on
all matters upon which shareholders may vote at all meetings of shareholders.
All shares of Common Stock now outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable.
The holders of shares of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights,
which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares, voting
for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if
they so choose. Directors are divided into three classes. Each year, one class
is elected to hold office for the next three years.

The transfer agent for the Company's Common Stock is Chemical Mellon Shareholder
Services, L.L.C., Overpark Center, 85 Challenger Road, Ridgefield Park, NJ
07660.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Any distribution of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders, or by permitted
pledgees, donee, transferees or other successors in interest, may be effected
from time to time in one or more of the following transactions: (a) to
underwriters who will acquire Shares for their own account and resell them in
one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale (any public
offering price and any discount or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to
dealers may be changed from time to time); (b) through brokers, acting as
principal or agent, in transactions (which may involve block transactions) on
the American Stock Exchange, or on one or more exchanges on which the Common
Stock is then listed, in special offerings, exchange distributions pursuant to
the rules of the applicable exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or
otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to
such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices; or (c)
directly or through brokers or agents in private sales at negotiated prices, or
by any other legally available means.

The Selling Shareholders and such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, upon
effecting a sale of Shares, may be considered "underwriters" as that term is
defined by the Securities Act.

Underwriters participating in any offering made pursuant to this Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented from time to time) may receive underwriting discounts
and commissions, and discounts or concessions may be allowed or re-allowed or
paid to dealers, and brokers or agents participating in such transaction may
receive brokerage or agent's commissions or fees.

At the time a particular offering of Shares is made, to the extent required, a
Prospectus Supplement will be distributed which will set forth the amount of
Shares, the offering price paid by an underwriter for Shares purchased from the
Selling Shareholders, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting
compensation from the Selling Shareholders and any discounts, commissions or
concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers.

The Company has advised the Selling Shareholders that Rules 10b-5, 10b-6 and
10b-7 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to their
sales in the market. The Company has made available to the Selling Shareholders
copies of these rules, and has informed the Selling Shareholders of the possible
need for them to deliver copies of this Prospectus in connection with their
resale of the Common Stock. The Selling Shareholders may indemnify any
broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sale of the Common
Stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act. Any commissions paid or any discounts or concessions allowed to
any such broker-dealer, and, if any such broker-dealer purchases Common Stock as
a principal, any profits received on the resale of such Common Stock, may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act.

Any Common Stock which qualifies for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act may be sold under the Rule rather than pursuant to this
Prospectus.

There can be no assurance that the Selling Shareholders will sell all or even
any of the Common Stock which may be offered by them or any of them hereunder.

                                INDEMNIFICATION

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended, contain
provisions that provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by law. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation
also contains a provision that limits the personal liability of its directors to
the Company or its shareholders to the fullest extent permitted by law.

In addition, the Company maintains insurance against certain liabilities
incurred by directors and officers of the Company while serving in their
capacities as such.

Reference is hereby made to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
relating to indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a
Delaware corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion
of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

                                        7
LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the

of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have

deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be
a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained
in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration
Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently
filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part
of this Registration Statement.

Item 6.           Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Company has adopted the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware
General Corporation Act (the "Delaware Act") which eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director to the Company or its shareholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty under certain circumstances. Furthermore,
under Section 145 of the Delaware Act, the Company may, and in certain
circumstances shall, indemnify each of its directors and officers against
expenses (including reasonable costs, disbursements and counsel fees) in
connection with any proceeding involving such person by reason of having been an
officer or director, to the extent such person acted in good faith and in a
manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. The
determination of whether indemnification is proper under the circumstances,
unless made by a court, shall be made by a majority of a quorum of disinterested
members of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or the shareholders
of the Company. The Company's by-laws provide for indemnification of officers
and directors in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Act. The

Item 9.     Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
