Low-pressure catalytic system for Voc removal
In the chemical, pharmaceutical, and surface treatment industries, efficiently removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from exhaust gases is crucial. Traditional methods may fall short due to high energy consumption and complex pollutant mixtures, necessitating more adaptable and energy-efficient solutions.
Removes Vocs using catalytic oxidation
The low-pressure catalytic system from Dürr is designed to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using catalytic oxidation. The process operates at atmospheric pressure or slightly varied pressures, converting pollutants into simpler substances like carbon dioxide and water at temperatures between 300 to 350°C. A support burner, heat exchanger, fan, and reactor with catalyst are key components. The system can handle exhaust gases with varying flow rates, pollutant concentrations, and hydrocarbon types. It is adaptable for use in the chemical, pharmaceutical, printing, and coating industries. The system can run in autothermal mode, using the heat generated from the oxidation process to preheat the exhaust air, eliminating the need for additional heating. Energy efficiency is further enhanced through the use of an intelligent control system.
