Back to: Flue gas purification
Cleaning flue gases represents one of the most important technological and environmental challenges of today, both for large industrial systems and for catering establishments and modern residential complexes. The flue gases produced by burning different types of fuel (coal, fuel oil, biomass, gas), as well as by the operation of industrial ovens and catering grills, contain a high percentage of harmful substances.

Depending on the source of pollution, treatment systems are designed to specifically eliminate specific environmental and operational problems.
In the hospitality industry (restaurants, pizzerias, grills): The main challenge is greasy fumes, charcoal soot and a strong smell that bothers residents in the area. Effective filtration prevents the deposition of flammable fats in the ventilation ducts, thus reducing the risk of fire to a minimum.
In industry and energy (heating plants, factories, production facilities): The focus is on the elimination of toxic gases and fine PM10 and PM2.5 particles in order to meet the strict legal norms on emission limit values (GVE).
Modern engineering uses several high-performance methods for air and flue gas purification, which are often combined into multi-stage systems.
Electrofilters (Electrostatic precipitators): Extremely efficient devices that use the principle of charging. Smoke and soot particles pass through a strong electric field where they are ionized and then stick to the grounded collector plates. They successfully remove up to 99% of solid particles from flue gas.
Wet filters (Scrubbers): Systems that use liquid (most often water with additives) to "wash" flue gases. The gas passes through a water mist that binds large particles, neutralizes acidic gases (such as sulfur) and at the same time cools the hot smoke before exiting into the atmosphere.
Activated carbon filters: The last word in technology when it comes to eliminating unpleasant odors and organic compounds. Activated carbon has a huge specific surface area that permanently traps odor molecules through the adsorption process.
