09-08-19Rich in tradition, the Nurnberg writing and graphic instrument manufacturer, STAEDTLER, has invested strongly in environmental protection at their production facilities in Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate. In order to prevent climate damaging solvents from escaping into the atmosphere, a thermal oxidation system with regenerative heat recovery from LTB has been installed. Read more
10-11-25The Aluminum Company of Egypt (Egyptalum) at Nag-Hammadi, Egypt, together with Arab Aluminum Forum, Kuwait organized the 14th Arab International Aluminum Conference (Arabal-2010).
The conference took place at Sonesta St. George Hotel in Luxor, Egypt from 1 - 3 November 2010. Read more
08-11-21The new IPPC regulation (1) as well as local legislation force aluminium manufacturers to improve their air emission control systems. Furthermore a critical neighbourhood leads plant managers to think about the future of their plant.
Aluminium production plants have several sources for emissions. Dust emissions are treated with bag house filters since many years quite perfectly. For the additional adsorption of HF, created in the electrolysis cells, these filters have been equipped with alumina injection. All these systems are “state of the art” and accepted as “best available technology”. Read more
09-08-18Energy consumption at the company was significantly reduced due to the ability of a modern thermal oxidation system with regenerative heat recovery to clean the exhaust air from the production process of synthetic rubber. The exhaust air - joint incineration in the boiler house proved to be uneconomical and was discontinued. Read more
07-05-25Complex exhaust air purification in confined space in order to clean diverse emission flows from a pilot plant system of the Fraunhofer Institutes for Silicate Research ISC demonstrated that the installation of a complex emission control system in the confined space of the 2nd floor of a building is not the only challenge.
In fact, the distinct batch-operation of production in acidic or alkaline medium required the highest level of systems engineering adaptation. The exhaust air flow volume can fluctuate between 0 and 800 m3/h and the solvent concentration can reach the Ex-zone. Despite this variance, the system has been designed for fully automatic operation and was delivered „ready-for-use“. Read more

by Werner Seelbinder, Nordbayerischer Kurier, Bayreuth
The Lufttechnik Bayreuth (LTB) company, with its headquarters in Goldkronach's industry park, is a preeminent enterprise in the county of Bayreuth. The company was founded in 1958 as a subsidiary of the Rüskamp engineering firm in Bayreuth. Read more
09-11-02More and more TV shows are following the example of the MTV series „PIMP my Ride“; rebuilding or remodelling everything from cars to gardens to apartments, right up to entire houses. In record-breaking time, the aging object is adapted to the changing needs of its owner by resourceful craftsmen. LTB adopted a similar practice; taking on a technically outdated RTO system.

10-01-28The oxidation products of organosilicon material suited in exhaust gas flows are clogging the ceramic heat storage units of RTO-Plants. Within the scope of an research project a technology is currently developed with the objective of an almost complete separation on the SiO2 -dust as well as avoiding operational problems.
Now detailed knowledge exists on the operation behaviour of the new technology in industrial application at a plastic re-granulating process, a non-stick-coating process and a wastewater treatment facility. Within the framework of the paper it will be reported on the thermodynamic behaviour, achievable energy savings and pure gas concentration of the new technology. Read more
08-10-17Development in an RTO system, with which the regenerator material (in this case a packing of, e.g. ceramic moulds) can be automatically removed of the system following cooling, cleaned and returned. Read more
09-01-16In this age of globalization, it is essential to secure the future of Germany as an industrial site through innovation, quality and enhanced efficiency. This applies in particular to the domestic textile industry, which finds itself under enormous cost pressure from competitors in the Far East. Producers and finishers of textiles in Germany are forced to distinguish themselves from the low-cost competition by high-tech products. In part, new production processes are inevitably afflicted with emissions that must be cleaned by means of elaborate systems tech-nology to meet the limiting values of the German “TA-Luft” (Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control). The fact that this additional investment does not necessarily have to be det-rimental to competitiveness is illustrated by the example of Schmitz-Werke of Emsdetten, Germany. Read more
