How do you translate complex European emission standards into effective processes? In this masterclass, Tauw, DESOTEC and Endress+Hauser combine their expertise to provide you with a comprehensive answer. From regulations and permit requirements under BREF WGC to the use of mobile activated carbon filters as a purification solution and accurate emissions measurement, you will leave the day with practical guidance for your own processes.
