by industrial installations. Thermal oxidation solutions, including regenerative, recuperative and deodorising options, are highly effective at treating VOCs and odours. Pollutant gases are heated to a high temperature in a combustion chamber and are fully oxidised before being discharged as a harmless gas. Modern oxidisers incorporating adsorption technology concentration techniques can bring even the largest air volumes with low solvent loadings within reach of economic operation.
4. Recovery and re-use Look at best practice in managing natural resources. When it comes to water management, consider implementing solutions to recover and reintegrate part of the water discharged, thereby reducing water consumption. Waste heat recovery through the use of flue gas and condensing economisers is also ideal and can allow for considerable savings to be made. Economisers are essentially heat exchange devices that extract the residual heat from the exhaust gas generated by the combustion process. That recovered heat is usually fed back into the process, typically to the boiler feed water thereby optimising the overall efficiency of the plant in the most compact and cost-effective manner. Different types of economisers are available
to meet a wide variety of processes and site needs. Our R-Eco solution, for example, is a combustion air preheater that recovers heat from the combustion fumes and uses a Flue Gas Recirculation system, which increases the overall efficiency of the boiler up to 98 per cent. Solvent recovery systems should also be considered to both help reduce your carbon footprint and meet increasingly stringent emission limits for solvents and VOCs. A major player in the field, DCT solvent recovery systems’ distillation technology allows for a very high level of purity, frequently exceeding international standards, for the
recovered solvents to then be reused in production, making for a rapid return on investment.
THE ROAD TO DECARBONISATION People often refer to the road to decarbonisation, but the reality is there are multiple forks in the road and decisions to be made on which route to take. Each industry and each application face their own set of challenges, but options are available to help improve sustainability and get you one step closer to the Net Zero destination.
