Manufactured goods

Whether your company produces wood flooring, plastics, steel products, paper, or just about anything else, it will need to reduce emissions of potentially harmful chemicals. The most common are VOCs and solvents used in many products, such as coatings and adhesives. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) are also widespread, as are NOx and SOx). All these must be treated to avoid environmental issues such as acid rain, ozone formation, and smog. As legislations are tightened, it’s essential that companies have adaptable and modular solutions in place. Desotec’s mobile sustainable filters are the simple answer, either as standalone treatments or in combination with other technologies. They use activated carbon to adsorb a huge range of compounds, purifying emissions and ensuring business continuity.

Many VOCs and solvents, including styrene, release strong odours. So does hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), found in a range of sectors including textile manufacturing and paper processing. To ensure pleasant conditions for workers and the local community, these must be treated promptly. Some compounds, such as NOx and benzene, are hazardous to human health unless concentrations are heavily reduced. Industrial odour control and occupational health laws are getting ever tighter, and more molecules are being added to the list of substances of very high concern (SVHC). Desotec’s mobile activated carbon filters reduce their concentrations, thus letting you comply with regulations and preserve the quality of the air in your area.

Wastewater from the manufacturing sector may contain H₂S, benzene, NOx, SVHC, and adsorbable organic halides (AOX) from chlorinated cleaning products. Together, they are measured as COD, which must be lowered to keep waterways flourishing and protect the human food chain. Desotec’s mobile water treatment services ensure water is pure enough to be discharged to the waterways, sent to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) or reused, reducing your costs and enhancing your sustainability. As our filters are mobile and have a small footprint, they are also ideal for short-term and emergency usage, e.g., for spills and maintenance work.
