Air and Gas Purification
Air and gas purification
While overall air quality in Germany has improved over recent years, with significant reductions in emissions of four out of the five main pollutants, air pollution continues to be a pressing issue
(Preserving nature, protecting the environment – Wellbeing in Germany).The five main pollutants are as follows:
- sulphur dioxide (SO₂),
- nitrogen oxides (NOx),
- ammonia (NH3),
- non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC),
- and particulate matter (PM2.5).
CarboTech’s activated carbons provide an effective, swift, and reliable solution to eliminate these harmful contaminants, ensuring a safe and healthier environment. Our activated carbon products are highly versatile and effective for air and gas purification across a wide range of applications. These include indoor air treatment such as ventilating systems, air filters in the automotive sector and laboratory fume hoods, as well as exhaust air treatment from heavy industries like steelmaking, manufacturing, and chemical plants.
Biogas, solvents, hydrogen
In biogas production, the process contains numerous impurities such as siloxanes, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hydrogen sulfide which can be detrimental to the engines used for electricity generation. Thanks to the unique catalytic properties of our materials, our filters for biogas pre-treatment effectively mitigate this wear and tear. Additionally, CarboTech’s carbon molecular sieves enable biogas upgrading when utilized in Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) units. Therefore, it is possible to meet the methane quality standards of the national gas distribution grid.
For many years, our clients have relied on our products and expertise for solvent recovery. In printing facilities, our activated carbons with precisely adjusted pore systems are employed to capture evaporating solvents from printing inks. A notable advantage of this technology is that it offers an environmentally friendly method to reuse precious chemical intermediates.
Similarly, large fuel tanks use activated carbon filters to bind harmful gas vapors from gasoline. Additionally, activated carbons play a crucial role in hydrogen purification processes. Complex purification systems equipped with CarboTech’s microporous activated carbon are essential for separating hydrogen from natural gas reforming off-gases, ensuring an effective hydrogen purification.
