All too commonly, design engineers and consultants evaluate the need for Air Pollution Control (APC) after the process plant has been established and/or the design is near completion, virtually mandating end of-pipe solutions. (see NESTEC’s Nov 2018 Newsletter discussing the drawbacks of end of pipe…READ MORE
Thermal oxidation systems can be designed to handle a wide range of exhaust streams, including organic compounds containing halogens, sulfur, and nitrogen. The components in a modular system are selected according to exhaust stream contaminants, flows, and the desired energy recovery applications within the plant….READ MORE
End-of-pipe technologies are measures deployed to decrease or eliminate the emission of substances into the atmosphere that can harm human health or the environment. The term “end-of-pipe solution” describes a pollution control approach that remediates contaminated flows of air just before the effluent can enter…READ MORE
Economic, environmental, and regulatory constraints are forcing every business today to reconsider older, wasteful models, centered on “take – make – dispose” to ones that are regenerative by design. NESTEC is ahead of the curve. Long before others caught on, we were developing and improving…READ MORE
NOx is a term used to describe gases consisting primarily of NO (mono-nitrogen oxides) and NO2 (nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide). They are produced from the reaction among nitrogen, oxygen, and even hydrocarbons (during combustion), especially at high temperatures. NOx often appears as a brownish…READ MORE
