At Desotec, we pride ourselves on our problem-solving approach and the adaptability of our mobile filtration solutions. The tertiary wastewater filtration set-up we installed at a Spanish steel plant looks very different from what we’d originally envisaged! That’s because we had to adjust it to...

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...
