StarStarStarStar

Baghouse Filter

StarStarStarStar

Captures particulates by passing exhaust gases through filter bags, allowing clean air to pass through while particles are left behind.

StarStarStarStar

Electrostatic Precipitator

StarStarStarStar

Removes particulates from exhaust gases by inducing an electrostatic charge and collecting the particles on charged plates.

StarStarStarStar

Thermal Oxidizer

StarStarStarStar

Destroys VOCs and other pollutants by combusting them at high temperatures, breaking them down into CO2 and water.

StarStarStarStar

Biofiltration

StarStarStarStar

Uses microorganisms growing on a filter media to metabolize and break down pollutants from the air stream.

StarStarStarStar

Scrubber

StarStarStarStar

Uses a liquid spray to wash pollutants out of the exhaust gas stream, often by absorption or chemical reaction.

StarStarStarStar

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)

StarStarStarStar

Reduces NOx emissions by injecting ammonia into the flue gas, which then reacts with the NOx over a catalyst to form nitrogen and water.

StarStarStarStar

Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR)

StarStarStarStar

Reduces NOx emissions by injecting ammonia or urea into the combustion chamber, where they react with NOx at high temperatures to form nitrogen and water.

StarStarStarStar

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation

StarStarStarStar

Uses UV light to destroy biological pollutants like bacteria and viruses in the air, disrupting their DNA and rendering them harmless.

StarStarStarStar

Activated Carbon Adsorption

StarStarStarStar

Uses activated carbon to adsorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants from the exhaust gas.

StarStarStarStar

Cyclone Separator

StarStarStarStar

Utilizes centrifugal force to separate particulate matter from flue gases by spinning the gas stream, allowing particles to be collected at the bottom.
