Catalytic VOC - compliance without compromise
Topsoe CATOX™ catalytic VOC oxidation technology
Brochure Catalytic VOC - compliance without compromiseIdeal for dealing with VOC emissions
Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are now regulated almost everywhere. And legislation is only going to get more stringent.
The question is how easily and affordably you can keep your operations compliant, with a reliable “license to operate”.
Thermal oxidation
The traditional way to deal with VOCs from industrial processes is to superheat these carbon-based compounds to approx. 800–1100°C. This causes oxidation that breaks these pollutants down into clean, harmless vapor (usually water and carbon dioxide) and heat.
However, thermal oxidization involves burning off large quantities of fossil fuels, and very little of the thermal energy can be recovered.
Catalytic oxidation
Instead of using expensive direct heat and high temperatures, catalytic oxidation systems rely on the chemical effectiveness of advanced catalytic activity to oxidize the pollutant concentrations and to remove these problematic substances from exhaust streams.
Such catalyst-based processes mean oxidation removes 99+% of VOC pollutants at temperatures as low as 200–250°C, and with hardly any additional fuel costs.
The big advantages of catalytic oxidation technology lie in low operating costs, straightforward installation and easy operation.
Topsoe CATOX™ solutions in this field provide a straightforward, reliable way to make VOC compliance affordable, so you can be sure of a “license to operate” – both now and in the future.
The competitive edge
Getting this key capability in place quickly and affordably helps you get ahead of your competition – and stay there.
