Chemical substances in air can be transformed to other substances that are more harmless with the use of catalysts. A catalyst influences and accelerates a chemical reaction without been influenced. Catalysts contain active substances on a solid structure most often some type of metal or precious metals.
There are various types of catalytic processes:
- Oxidations systems for example oxidising of VOC to carbon dioxide and water
- Reduction systems for example reducing of ozone to oxygen.
Advantages
- Uncomplicated equipment
- Easy operating conditions when the reaction takes place at low temperature.
Applications
- Incineration of VOC from different finishing’s – and chemical processes to carbon dioxide and water.
- Reduction of excess ozone from corona treatment in coating processes
