Air Pollution Control
Industrial processes that involve combustion of fossil fuels or materials, like power generation, waste incineration, or construction material production, inevitably produce emissions to the atmosphere containing various pollutants. These emissions include nitrogen oxides (NOx), alongside CO2, which need to be removed before releasing the flue gas or gas purge.
However, eliminating pollutants from industrial gaseous emissions poses challenges. Including costs of implementation and operation, technical feasibility under harsh operating conditions, potential impacts on process performance, plot space availability or even potential trade-offs with other pollutant emissions (such as carbon dioxide or ammonia among others). Moreover, environmental regulations are constantly tightening, requiring technical upgrades.
Air Pollution Control
Reducing pollutant emissions from industrial processes is achievable through various technologies and approaches. However, each approach presents its own challenges, such as cost, technical feasibility and environmental impact. Finding the right balance is crucial to meet environmental targets successfully.
