Carbonology

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...

DESOTEC’s mobile activated carbon filters work on a simple plug-and-play basis. However, sometimes they need to be incorporated into a larger extraction system. DESOTEC works with trusted sub-contractors across Europe to design and install efficient and cost-effective industrial odour control...

Liquid penetrant testing is a non-destructive technique that is widely used in aircraft manufacturing and maintenance. However, it produces brightly coloured wastewater which cannot be discharged until the distinctive colour has been stripped. DESOTEC’s mobile activated carbon filtration solutions...

When a manufacturer of air purification systems was let down by a sub-contractor , it faced the enormous challenge of getting its client’s pharmaceutical plant up and running in just a few days . In this emergency situation, we were able to supply filters that met the pharma client’s complex...

Increasingly, companies in Spain are recognising the value of deriving biogas from waste at landfill sites and wastewater treatment plants. DESOTEC has experience of working with clients in Spain, supplying them with mobile activated carbon filters to purify biogas of the contaminants that can...

WHAT IS TA LUFT? TA Luft or the “Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control” is one of Germany’s most important environmental legislations aside from the “Federal Pollution Control Act” (Bundes-Immisionsschutzgesetz). TA Luft governs the licensing requirements for industrial plants, and is aimed...

European companies are facing increasing pressure to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds ( VOCs ). Activated carbon filtration is a versatile, simple and cost-effective treatment technology for many applications, particularly where production is discontinuous. The problem A German family...
