Hazardous substances of process waste gases are treated directly from where they originate (Point-of-Use). In this optimised burn/wet technology the gases are burnt from top to bottom. Depending on the chemical composition of the waste gases, various reactions take place (oxidation, reduction, pyrolysis). A fluid wall/film prevents corrosion and deposition of particles in the reactor.
In the washing column next to the reactor, soluble components are absorbed and particles suspended. The scrubbing liquid cools down and neutralises combustion products such as hydrogen halides. With the application of STYRAX within a holistic abatement concepts, manufacturers in the high-tech industry will meet the strict standards of the German air pollution law (TA Luft).
The Alternative to Fuel Gas — STYRAX Plasma-Wet Abatement
The STYRAX plasma scrubbers set new standards in waste gas treatment by using electrical energy directly and highly efficiently. Thanks to the integration of a powerful DC plasma torch and a 15 kW power supply, optimum energy yield is achieved.
The proven reactor design and washing stage have been retained, making the STYRAX plasma scrubbers just as reliable and easy to maintain as their natural gas-powered predecessors. The footprint remains compact. At the same time, energy consumption has been reduced by an impressive 50%!
