Controlling the emissions of pollutants from stationary sources is critical not only in protecting our air quality, but in adhering to the various local, state, and federal regulations that have been put into place to enforce air and water pollution control.

Since its first catalyst in 1950, used to treat the exhaust from wire enameling, Catalytic Combustion Corporation has strived to offer the latest catalytic technology to various industries, to help solve the growing air pollution problem by eliminating VOCs from various process exhaust streams.

Catalytic converters used for the oxidation of VOCs can be designed using any of the substrates we offer, including ceramic, foil honeycomb, metal ribbon, screen, expanded metal, and plugs. We can supply many of these substrates either framed or unframed. Catalytic Combustion has also developed a number of precious metal catalyst formulations which can be used, or we could even develop a custom formulation based on your requirements.

Processes

The types of processes from which the VOCs are released include, but are not limited to:

Gaseous pollutants, usually referred to as Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs, are released by a number of different processes.

These VOCs consist of a numerous variety of compounds such as:

• alcohols
• aldehydes
• acetates
• aromatics
• esters
• ketones
• various other hydrocarbons which are comprised of carbon (C), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H) atoms
