Without abatement system they didn’t meet the emission limits. They chose catalytic oxidizer due to it’s lower operation cost.   ### **Solution: ** Regenerative catalytic oxidizer from Genano was installed in 2007.  Air flow 15 000 Nm3/h and the unit was installed into a 20’ container. Duration of the installation was 3 days. Auto thermal operation >0,75 g/Nm3 (no extra heating energy).   ### **Results:** When the printing process is on, RCO is working auto thermally. Emission limit 100mg/Nm3 has been reached and original catalyst beds are still working.   ### Process data: | **Air flow:** Max 15000 Nm3/h  | | --- | | **VOCs**: Ethyl Acetate, Ethanol, Acetone and others | | **Concentration:** 1 - 4 g/Nm3 | | **Emission limit:** 100 mgC/Nm3 | ## Solving carbon monoxide problem in pipe manufacturing ### **Starting point:** A supplier of different types of pipes for the energy industry had a problem with Carbon Monoxide emissions from their production. ### **Solution:** Genano's regenerative catalytic oxidizer with an air flow of 6000 Nm3/h was installed into a 20’ container. Duration of installation was 5 days.   ### **Results:** Outlet emission: <80 mgC/Nm3 RCO is working auto thermally which means no extra heating is needed. Original catalyst are still in use.   ### **Process data:** **Air flow:**  max 6000 Nm3/h **VOC: **Carbon Monoxide **Concentration:** 1 – 2 g/Nm3 ![pipe manufacturing Genano VOC abatement](https://www.genano.com/hubfs/VOC%20page%20pics/pipe%20manufacturing%20Genano%20VOC%20abatement.jpg) ## Reduced heptane levels in automotive industry  ![automotive industry Genano VOC abatement](https://www.genano.com/hubfs/VOC%20page%20pics/automotive%20industry%20Genano%20VOC%20abatement.jpg) ### **Starting point:** A tyre manufacturer had a problem with VOC emissions, especially heptane and odors. Their VOC concentration varies from 0,5 g/Nm3 up to 2 g/Nm3 and air flow is 8000 Nm3/h.   ### **Solution:** A 8000 Nm3/h regenerative catalytic oxidizer was installed into a 20’ container. Duration of installation at customer's site was 5 days.   ### **Results:** Outlet emission reduced <20 mgC/Nm3 and odor levels decreased significantly. Auto thermal point is 0,8 g/Nm3 and when the concentration exceeds that, no extra heating energy is needed. Original catalysts are still in operation.   ### Process data: | **Air flow:** 8000 Nm3/h  | | --- | | **VOCs**: Heptane and odors | | **Concentration:** 0,5 - 2 g/Nm3 | ## Chemical Industry benefits from regenerative catalytic oxidizer ### **Starting point:** Chemical company had a problem with their VOC emissions (AN, MMA, EB and SM). Air flow is 3100 Nm3/h. VOC concentration varies from 0,3 g/Nm3 up to 3 g/Nm3   ### **Solution:**   Regenerative catalytic oxidizer with hot by-pass. Air flow 4000 Nm3/h. The RCO was installed into a 20’ container. The installation took 5 days.   ### **Results:**   Purification efficiency has varied 95% - 99% and the energy consumption has been low.   ### Process data: | **Air flow:** 4000 Nm3/h  | | --- | | **VOCs**: AN, MMA, EB and SM | | **Concentration:** 0,3 - 3 g/Nm3 | ![chemical industry Genano VOC abatement](https://www.genano.com/hubfs/VOC%20page%20pics/chemical%20industry%20Genano%20VOC%20abatement.jpg) ## Lowered emissions with RCO in Special Paper Printing ![special paper printing Genano VOC abatement](https://www.genano.com/hubfs/VOC%20page%20pics/special%20paper%20printing%20Genano%20VOC%20abatement.jpg) ## Starting point:   Special paper printing was faced with higher production and emissions requirements.   ## Solution:    3 chamber RCO   ## Result:     Emissions < 50 mgC     ## Process data:   | **Volume:  **25.000 Nm3/h | | --- | | **VOCs****: ****  **Ethyl Acetate, Isopropanol , Etanol | | **Concentration****: **1800-4200 mg/Nm3 | | **Energy:  **Autothermal point |   ## Solvent emission abatement in painting line for turbines ## **Starting point:** The turbine painting line must adopt a VOC abatement system due to solvent emissions during the painting of parts and metal sheets, essential for meeting emissions requirements.   ## **Solution:**   2 chamber Genano regenerative catalytic oxidizer (RCO)  was installed. ## **Result: **   Emissions < 50 mgC ## **Process data:  ** | **Volume:  **4.500 Nm3/h | | --- | | **VOCs****: ****  **Toluene, Xilene, Nafta, Acetone | | **Concentration****: **1000-2000 mg/Nm3 | | **Energy:  **Autothermal point |   ![Painting line Genano VOC abatement](https://www.genano.com/hubfs/VOC%20page%20pics/Painting%20line%20Genano%20VOC%20abatement.jpg) ## Genano RCO cuts tire production emissions ![tire adhesive Genano VOC abatement](https://www.genano.com/hubfs/VOC%20page%20pics/tire%20adhesive%20Genano%20VOC%20abatement.jpg) ## **Starting point:** In tire manufacturing the use of tire adhesives causes emissions and odors that were necessary to remove with advanced VOC abatement technology, ensuring a more environmentally friendly production process.   ## **Solution:**   Genano installed a 2 chamber Genano regenerative catalytic oxidizer (RCO) to reduce emissions and odors. ## **Result: **   Emissions < 100 mgC   ## **Process data:  **   | **Volume:  **5.000 Nm3/h | | --- | | **VOCs****:   **N-Heptane | | **Concentration****: **2000 mg/Nm3 | | **Energy**** :  **Autothermal point |   ## Reducing odors with Genano RCO cased by foundry fumes ![Foundry fumes Genano VOC abatement](https://www.genano.com/hubfs/VOC%20page%20pics/Foundry%20fumes%20Genano%20VOC%20abatement.jpg) ## **Starting point:**   Advanced VOC abatement was needed for reduction of emissions and odors caused by foundry fumes.   ## **Solution:**   Installing a 3 chamber Genano regenerative catalytic oxidizer (RCO). ## **Result: **   Emissions < 10 mgC   ## **Process data:  **   | **Volume:  **25.000 Nm3/h | | --- | | **VOCs****:   **Benzene, Toluene, Fenoli, Aldeidi, CO | | **Concentration****: **150-800 mg/Nm3 | | **Energy:  **39.730 €/year**  ** |   ## Sustainable choice for VOC abatement in adhesive glue production ![Glue adhesive manufacturing Genano VOC abatement](https://www.genano.com/hubfs/VOC%20page%20pics/Glue%20adhesive%20manufacturing%20Genano%20VOC%20abatement.jpg) ## **Starting point:**   Increased adhesive glue production combined with stricter emission limits drove the company to search for an innovative and sustainable solution for emission abatement.   ## **Solution:**   A 3 chamber Genano regenerative catalytic oxidizer (RCO). ## **Result: **   Emissions < 50 mgC   ## **Process data:  **   | **Volume:  **9.000 Nm3/h | | --- | | **VOCs****:   **Ciclohexane, Ethyl, Acetone | | **Concentration****: **1800-5000 mg/Nm3 | | **Energy:  **Autothermal point | ## Request a tailored VOC abatement and energy saving calculation or reach out for further questions: [info@genano.com](mailto:info@genano.com) [Privacy policy](https://www.genano.com/privacy-policy?hsLang=en) Follow us in social media [ Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com) [Twitter ](https://www.twitter.com) [  LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/genano-ltd) Genano Solutions Oy Kiilakiventie 1 90250 Oulu Finland +358 45 311 3611 --- ![Genano logo white transparent-fix](https://www.genano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Extranet/Marketing%20materials/Logos%20and%20brand%20guide/Genano%20logo%20white%20transparent-fix.png?width=386&height=64&name=Genano%20logo%20white%20transparent-fix.png "Genano logo white transparent-fix")     ![Stock placeholder image with grayscale geometrical mountain landscape](https://www.genano.com/hubfs/Genano%202023/genona-logo.svg "Stock placeholder image with grayscale geometrical mountain landscape") ![](https://dc.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=1122916&fmt=gif) ![](https://www.creativeconsortiuminspired.com/798658.png)
