Baghouse Filter
Captures particulates by passing exhaust gases through filter bags, allowing clean air to pass through while particles are left behind.
Electrostatic Precipitator
Removes particulates from exhaust gases by inducing an electrostatic charge and collecting the particles on charged plates.
Thermal Oxidizer
Destroys VOCs and other pollutants by combusting them at high temperatures, breaking them down into CO2 and water.
Biofiltration
Uses microorganisms growing on a filter media to metabolize and break down pollutants from the air stream.
Scrubber
Uses a liquid spray to wash pollutants out of the exhaust gas stream, often by absorption or chemical reaction.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
Reduces NOx emissions by injecting ammonia into the flue gas, which then reacts with the NOx over a catalyst to form nitrogen and water.
Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR)
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.
Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation
Uses UV light to destroy biological pollutants like bacteria and viruses in the air, disrupting their DNA and rendering them harmless.
Activated Carbon Adsorption
Uses activated carbon to adsorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants from the exhaust gas.
Cyclone Separator
Utilizes centrifugal force to separate particulate matter from flue gases by spinning the gas stream, allowing particles to be collected at the bottom.
