Regulatory frameworks for VOCs and other pollutants found in (exhaust) air are different all over Europe. Nevertheless, we can all learn the regulations in other European countries, as often these offer inspiration to other countries' future frameworks. This article looks at the regulatory...

Natural gas, an essential resource for processes of European industries, is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. With the uncertainty around gas availability and pricing, most companies are looking for alternative solutions to avoid excessive costs or production standstills. Mobile activated...

Eliminating pollution requires extensive research, creative and effective solutions, and a strong partnership. Together, DESOTEC and NYNAS have been able to successfully implement just that. The Nynas refinery in northern Germany has solved its odour problem by designing an innovative system to...

In France, construction projects have to comply with strict regulations on land remediation. If contamination is found, it must be removed . When the project is in an urban area, it is even more important that any emissions are treated to protect both site workers and the local population. DESOTEC...

How do regenerative thermal oxidizers work? Thermal oxidation is an often-used technology to treat industrial air emissions and remove VOCs . The technology is based on thermal combustion which means that the exhaust gases are heated until the ignition temperature is passed (which can be as high as...

The transition from fossil fuels to greener forms of energy is driving a huge expansion in lithium-ion battery production and recycling capacity in Europe. DESOTEC’s activated carbon filters offer simple and effective solutions to treat air emissions and wastewater in the battery industry. The...

Across Europe, authorities and businesses are increasingly recognising the potential of food waste as a source to produce renewable energy from. Activated carbon filtration is regarded as the best available technology for filtering biogas so it can be upgraded into biomethane and injected into...
