Challenges in Air and Gas Purification
Ethylene Oxide Emissions
Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a hazardous compound used in sterilization and industrial processes. Its emissions pose significant risks to human health and the environment, requiring strict regulatory compliance. Failure to effectively abate EtO can result in health hazards, environmental damage, and costly fines.
Carbon Monoxide in Cryogenic Systems
Cryogenic air separation systems, crucial for producing ultra-high-purity gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, require carbon monoxide removal to maintain product quality and operational reliability.
Additionally, carbon monoxide removal is critical in applications such as escape masks and compressed breathing air systems, ensuring safe and breathable air for personnel in emergency and industrial environments.
Ozone Off-Gas
Ozone is a powerful oxidant commonly found in industrial and water treatment off-gas. Without effective management, it can corrode equipment, create unsafe working environments, and harm nearby communities.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
VOCs are emitted by various industrial processes and contribute to air quality issues. Effective VOC management is critical for both regulatory compliance and operational safety.
