This technology is based on the decomposition of pollutants in the waste air at elevated temperatures with the help of a catalyst. In principle, this is similar to conventional combustion (thermal oxidation), with the difference that the application of an efficient catalyst makes it possible to reduce the required combustion temperature by hundreds of degrees Celsius, and this saving an important amount energy.
Our catalytic oxidizers can be used to remove virtually any volatile or low volatile organic compounds (VOCs / SVOCs), including chlorinated or other hazardous derivatives in concentrations up to 10,000 ppm. We use special transition metal oxides that have a better price/performance ratio than noble metals, such as platinum or palladium, that are relatively expensive and sensitive to deactivation.
