Owing to the quality, Gastek serves the needs of the customers through the wide range of products that include PSA Nitrogen units, PSA / VSPA Oxygen units and Ammonia Cracking Units.

Cooperation:

Gastek is well known in the field of manufacturing and supplying PSA nitrogen plants. The cooperation with us has made it possible to produce products that meet international quality standards. This unique combination is what makes this partnership so valuable.

IMPAG AG is part of the IMPAG Group, an independent, internationally oriented trading and service company that supplies natural and synthetic raw materials, active ingredients and semi-finished products to various branches of industry. With years of experience and a customer-oriented approach, IMPAG AG supports us in implementing sustainable and effective solutions. Thanks to its long-standing presence on the market, customer proximity and first-class service, IMPAG AG contributes significantly to the success of our projects in Switzerland.

In order to comply with the legal limits for pharmaceuticals in water protection legislation, the cantons must now push ahead with the expansion of the so-called 4th purification stage or micropollutant elimination. To this end, IMPAG relies on the CarboTech Group as a strong full-service partner in the field of activated carbon.

Since 1973, ASSEAU has specialized in the marketing and commissioning of adsorbents, with a particular focus on activated carbon in all areas of application: Air, water, gas and liquids.
Asseau operates internationally, with a strong presence in France and the Benelux countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg).
They offer many years of experience and solid, reliable expertise to meet the specific needs of customers.
They also offer the sale of purification systems for air, water and gas as well as a full range of services, including the emptying, refilling and screening of activated carbon on site.

The close and long-standing cooperation enables us to work together across borders in the areas of service and reactivation, so that the customer can be assured of smooth project execution.

GreenTech Create GmbH The company specializes in services in the field of carbon reduction, offering both temporary and long-term solutions using biomass and biochar.

GreenTech Create is a new distributor of activated carbons for gas and water purification in Switzerland.

Another focus of Green Tech Create is the provision of consulting services, particularly in the areas of planning, development, realization and operation of pyrolysis plants, which are used to produce biochar and other biogenic products.

With this comprehensive range of services, the company contributes to the promotion of sustainable technologies and the reduction of CO₂ emissions.

The University of Edinburgh – Adsorption Research Industrial Consortium (ARIC)

The University of Edinburgh is one of the world’s top research-intensive universities, whereas The School of Engineering is consistently ranked as one of the best 100 universities in the world and amongst the best in Europe and the UK. The Adsorption Group at the Institute for Materials and Processes focuses on producing world-class research to advance engineering applications of materials and processes, by testing and ranking porous materials for specific applications, performing dynamic process modelling and simulation of adsorption-based systems as well as facilitating process integration and optimisation.

CarboTech is a proud member of the Adsorption Research Industrial Consortium (ARIC), which was set up by the University of Edinburgh to further closer ties between industry and academic researchers in the field of adsorption technology.

Institute of Separation Science & Technology (TVT), Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU)

The institute performs cutting-edge research in various areas of separation science. Within this framework, TVT-FAU investigates the phase and wetting behaviour of fluids in pores/adsorbent interfaces and focuses on the surface and pore structural characterisation of nanoporous materials as well as on fundamental research in the area of gas- and energy storage (e.g. hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane). The main research goal is to build a link between adsorption properties and characteristics of adsorbents with processes and applications in important areas, such as gas- and energy storage, separations, and heterogeneous catalysis.

A goal of the collaboration between TVT-FAU and our R&D Division is to find correlations between details of the material structure of complex carbon-based adsorbents and their characteristic adsorption properties, with processes and applications in the field of demanding gas separations.

Ecokrin Hygiene Pvt. Ltd. is a company focussed on the distribution of products serving the food & beverage industry in India and the neighbouring countries.

They serve a wide range of products which are used in the manufacturing of soft drinks, beer, dairy and juices including granular activated carbon products from CarboTech for water treatment applications.
