Emission control

Facing the challenges of a changing world. 

The global energy landscape is changing. The push for alternative energy sources is in full swing: green electricity, green hydrogen and sustainable fuels will replace fossil fuels in the combat of CO2 emissions globally.

Another recent challenge is to reduce the deposition of nitrogen in the soil, which requires a strong reduction of reactive components such as NOx.

The world needs to reduce emissions in order to face the global warming effects. VOCs however have a far greater global warming potential than for example CO2.

Companies have an important role to play: sustainable management has become the new standard. And this not only helps the environment. Emission reduction combined with innovative solutions as an integral part of the company strategy has positive effects on business.

How to combine these factors in an emission reduction strategy with optimised technology?

How to choose and invest wisely and be ready for the future?

Our answer to these questions is found in our holistic approach to emission control strategies.

This is where our expertise comes into play and changes the game for you. We at BM Process are seasoned experts with real hands-on experience. We’re not scared of thinking ‘outside the box’ but we also ensure you get solutions that really work. Not just on paper.

BM Process. The smarter engineers. 

What sets us apart: A holistic approach to emission control.

The ability not to look at issues separately from each other, but to see them in context with each other has always been a challenge. But a challenge we love to face.

If one has these skills, it is possible to design a complex system in such a way that it works well together. This approach to the solution of a task is called holistic approach.

Only through a holistic view of the entire process, an optimal system can be achieved with minimal emissions, an attractive business case and long-term reliability.

A real challenge for engineers when the task and the requirements are highly complex – like the task of cleaning VOC emissions sustainably and as CO2 and NOX neutral as possible.

We love this challenge. Our holistic approach starts with a good and in-depth understanding of your production process, your energy needs and the emission legislation at hand. Via a pre-engineering study we will develop the possible solution paths for you, assisting you in making the right choice for you. From technology selection to cost estimating and implementation planning: we take care of business.

Secure your license to operate, contribute to a more sustainable future: get the expertise on board to get the job done. First time. Every time. Fast, thorough and efficient.

Innovations by Krantz

Innovation in oxidation: smartRTO

Our highly committed clients are making significant contributions to climate stability – one of the most important environ- mental goals of our time. For decades now, we have been helping them reduce harmful VOC emissions with sophisticated technology and specific system configurations for energy- optimized exhaust air processing and heat recovery.

With the SmartRTO we go one step further, to make exhaust air treatment even more efficient. The Krantz SmartRTO bundles all of our experience into one universal compact system which is ideally suited to typical areas of application in a variety of markets.

Key features:

  • Best in class emission performance
  • Modular and standardised design
  • Prefabricated and pre-commissioned: plug and play
  • Easy to transport and install: minimal downtime of production

Moreover this system can be equipped with options such as a hot gas bypass and a buffer chamber (for the 2-bed design).

But the innovation does not stop here. The SmartRTO will also be available as an electrically heated system in several sizes, combining the small footprint with an even lower carbon footprint.

In the near future this system will also be available with an additional catalyst bed, enabling a reduction in oxidation temperature. This is the ideal combination with electrical heating lowering the energy consumption to unparalleled levels.

VOC-fired power generation

The use of exhaust air containing VOCs as a fuel additive in a micro gas turbine CHP unit enables the autonomous, decentralised generation of electricity and heat for the energy needs of industrial plants.

The use of a microturbine is very efficient in terms of energy if electricity and heat are needed at the same time as the VOC emissions are emitted during production. The heat demand should be as high as the heat output of the CHP unit throughout the year.

Even large exhaust air volume flows can be co-combusted in a microturbine if a concentration unit for exhaust air treatment is installed upstream as the first stage.
