air emissions
Titanium dioxide photocatalysis offers an innovative solution for VOC abatement. Unlike less efficient systems, such as activated carbon filters, photocatalytic technology harnesses the combined action of light and titanium dioxide to permanently and safely degrade VOCs, transforming them into carbon dioxide and water vapor, which are harmless to both the environment and human health.
Air emissions treatment
A legal requirement
A complex and expensive plant is not always necessary to fall within the statutory limits for air emissions from industrial plants.
Photocatalytic filtration is an ideal solution when concentration and flux levels make other solutions too costly.
Based on air volume and pollutant levels, the plant is custom-sized with the required amount of Depurex photocatalytic filters or fabrics.
The use of cartridges allows modularity in the implementation of the system, which can be easily scaled.
The system has a small footprint and does not create dust or dirt in the work environment.
Replacing the filters is easy and can be done yourself on a schedule, saving you the cost of specialized service calls.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that evaporate easily at room temperature. They are found in a wide variety of everyday products such as paints, varnishes, solvents, cleaning products, and building materials.
The presence of VOCs in indoor and outdoor environments can have negative effects on human health, causing irritation to the eyes, nose and respiratory tract, as well as possible long-term neurological and carcinogenic problems.
For this reason, it is important to reduce the levels of VOCs in both industrial emissions and the indoor environments we visit every day, such as homes, offices, and shopping malls.
Titanium dioxide photocatalysis offers an innovative solution to VOC abatement. Unlike less efficient systems such as activated carbon filters, Depurex's photocatalytic technology uses the combined action of light and titanium dioxide to permanently and safely break down VOCs, converting them to carbon dioxide and water vapor, which are harmless to the environment and human health.

case study
Atmospheric emissions exceeding legal limits from a Heidelberg printing press at a leading paper packaging company.
Atmospheric emissions, primarily solvents, totaling 3,000 Nmc/h, were abated using a system composed of six Depurex FF600 filters.
