Different exhausts require different treatment methods. Depending on the load and type of contaminants, JENOPTIK KATASORB™ GmbH supplies three series of exhaust treatment units:

Adsorption by active carbon is the most cost-effective way to treat waste gas streams with low contaminant concentrations. Conventional active carbon adsorption systems are easy to use and cover a wide range of applications, but these advantages are contrasted by the imminent danger of self-ignition and the carbon’s low efficiency with highly volatile compounds such as methanol. Plus, active carbon is an unpleasant material to handle. KATASORB™ A is a wholly new adsorption system. With KATASORB™ A you enjoy the advantages of adsorption without having to accept the drawbacks.

During material processing or through the use of solvent-containing chemical products, volatile organic compounds (VOC) are released. This applies to the handling of solvent-containing mixtures as well as to the processing of plastics or wood. A waste gas stream, of which the contaminant concentration falls between the suitable ranges for either adsorption or combustion, can be treated with KATASORB™ K in a convenient and cost-effective way. With the help of a catalyst, KATASORB™ K lowers the energy demand of the combustion process.

During material processing or the use of solvent-containing chemical products, volatile organic compounds (VOC) are being released. Numerous branches in crafts and the manufacturing industries have to deal with this issue. Due to an increased environmental and health awareness and more stringent regulations, the emission of VOC must be reduced. KATASORB™ Z offers a waste gas purification method that combines the advantages of adsorption and catalytic combustion into one system.
