Smart solution for emissions abatement

Regenerative catalytic oxidizer

Genano VOC series is a compact, state-of-the-art catalytic VOC and odor
abatement system for energy efficient control of VOC waste gases.

Genano is using catalytic oxidation for oxidizing harmful VOC’s. Therefore,
the operation temperature is about 300°C – almost 500 °C lower than
in thermal oxidation! Due to high operation temperature, the thermal
oxidation process generates NOx as a by-product – which is a toxic
greenhouse gas.

The result with a Genano technology is a cleaner exhaust air with lower
energy costs. Due to its particular toxicity, this gas limit will be highly
reduced by local authorities After a catalytic oxidation the system
onlygenerates vapour (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Outcoming air is
clean, and can be exhausted directly to outside air.

The lower operation temperature also causes significantly less thermal
stress to the constructions of the oxidizer, which directly increase the life-
cycle of the oxidizer while decreasing the maintenance costs. Therefore,
our metallic regenerative heat exchangers are highly efficient.
