    Vocus "VOC Control"

    Uploaded by

    Pure air solutions
    The VOCUS is a compact biotrickling unit developed by Pure Air Solutions to help companies meet European emission limits for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a cost-effective way. The VOCUS uses a reactor filled with synthetic packing material that contains microorganisms to absorb and break down VOCs from air streams into water and carbon dioxide. It is more efficient than conventional VOC removal systems, requiring less space and achieving high removal rates at low costs to help companies maintain solvent-based production within regulatory standards.

    VOCUS

    emission of volatile organic compounds

    Reducing the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC)


    is gaining importance. VOC emissions are created during
    the production of semifinished as well as finished articles,
    and during the application of various products such as paint,
    lacquer, glue, and ink. Solvents are among others the factors
    contributing to the greenhouse effect. Thus, the European Union
    has passed a directive (1999/13/CE) specifying admissible
    maximum emissions. Companies ignoring this directive expose
    themselves to financial as well as legal risks, since their permit
    may be revoked.

    Pure air solutions developed the VOCUS in order to help


    companies meet European emission limits in a cost-effective
    manner.
