Packed bed filter for the separation of hydrogen flouride (HF) in the ceramics industry

07-11-26 Due to the installation of a new production line, the Japanese manufacturer of technical ceramic was forced to clean ensuing exhaust gasses. This has to do with the fluorine compounds contained in the raw material and expelled during the burning of ceramics in through-type furnaces, which are emitted as hydrogen fluoride (HF).

ROXITHERM Regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO) for the mechanical-biological treatment of waste (MBT)

08-01-09 For a german plant for mechanical biological treatment of waste(MBT), the high demands of the 30th BImSchV with regard to emission values must be complied with. Continuous emission measurements monitor a maximum emission exceedance of 96 h/a. Additionally, an official requirement for a minimum dwell time in the combustion chamber of 2 s exists.

Regenerative Thermal Oxidation
at Green Anode Plant

11-05-17 For the production of primary aluminium, carbon anodes are required for the electrolysis process. These anodes are usually produced on the same site as the primary aluminium.
The production of Anodes is splitted in raw material handling / forming and baking. The raw material and forming step is performed in a so called Green Anode or paste plant. At the several steps of processing, VOCs, PAHs and tar/condensates are emitted, which have to be treated with a suitable fume treatment system.

Regenerative Thermal Oxidation for Paint shop

11-05-17 John Deere, a manufacturer of agricultural machinery and vehicles, is operating paint shops for varnishing body parts and gear boxes. The exhaust air which contains volatile organic compounds, (VOC) has been treated so far with old, inefficient recuperative thermal oxidizers.
Due to increase of production capacities, running costs, bad emission levels and end of lifetime, these oxidizers had to be replaced with new economic systems in order to continue the production.
ally, due to wear/end of service-life, however, these must be replaced.

Regenerative Thermal Oxidation with downstream dry scrubber for HF absorption

12-02-08 Our customer is operating coating lines for the production of special coated fabrics at its facilities in Germany and Scotland. VOCs and especially fluorinated VOCs are emitted from the dryers of the coating lines, which requires a combined air treatment (oxidation of VOCs and dry scrubber for HF absorption).

Regenerative Thermal Oxidiser (RTO) with downstream SCR-DeNOx
for Carbon Fibre production

11-05-19 A world-wide producer of Carbon fibres has extended the production capacity at his site in Scotland.
Experiences with existing Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers (RTOs) have shown, that a single unit is not able to meet the low emission levels, especially for Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) and Ammonia.
Therefore a new concept / technology was required.

Thermal Oxidation with regenerative Heat Recovery (RTO)
for Lime Production

11-05-20 The customer operates a lime plant with several shaft kilns. Besides natural gas also solid fuels such as anthracite and coke are used to fire the kilns. This results in a TOC emissions result above the permitted level. The emissions for CO also exceed the limit of the German TA-Luft which will be mandatory in some years.

Thermal oxidation with regenerative heat recovery (RTO) for GFK production

07-11-26 During the first work-step in the manufacture of ship hulls out of GFK, the negative mould forms are coated with a layer of gel coat in a spraying process. Correspondingly, relatively high concentrations of the solvent, styrol, escape in the exhaust gas, which must be cleaned according to the provisions of TA-Luft.

Thermal oxidation with regenerative heat recovery (RTO) for flexo-printing (packaging)

08-06-26 Whether UV hardened colours, water colours or WetFlex, the use of solvents was reduced in the past years thanks to many innovations. On the other hand, there are many areas in the field of flexo-printing in which the use of solvents could not be dispensed with. The challenge is to clean the ensuing emissions to the official limit levels with the lowest possible operating costs.
