Suppliers to the automotive industry have to meet very strict conditions. For example, when coating components, it is essential that the air quality in the spraying booth is at a certain standard. A German company was at a loss what do when it appeared that a potential new investment could not...

It is a constant challenge to comply with the strict standards on discharging rainwater, in the recycling industry in particular. Using the right treatment methods here will already save you a great deal of worry. The combination of an Oxycon with a Mobicon installation from Desotec appears to work...

The advantages of activated carbon installations are numerous: they offer solutions for various treatment challenges at companies while offering very high performance. A disadvantage is that the exothermic adsorption process can potentially create a hotspot in the activated carbon filter. With the...

For companies in the petrochemical industry it is crucial that they maintain good relationships with local residents. It is absolutely necessary, therefore, that they respond immediately to urgent problems. A Dutch company specialising in tank storage benefited from rapid intervention when Desotec...

In the recycling world, everyone rightly considers waste to be a raw material.

These are highly toxic and do not...

Extreme climate conditions sometimes demand innovative solutions. They realise this in Scandinavia too, where water purification plants are often constructed underground because of the severe cold. This also requires an inventive approach to potential odour nuisance. Activated charcoal proved to be...
