Non-thermal UV & Plasma Solutions for VOC and Odour Control
BM Process Management proudly collaborates with Oxytec, a market leader in air and water purification solutions with strong expertise in industrial VOC and odour reduction using UV-C/ozone, plasma and scrubber technologies. Oxytec was founded in 2004, is headquartered in Zurich (Switzerland), and operates with a stainless-steel production site (stainlesstec) in Hildesheim (Germany) alongside additional European operational locations.
Why This Partnership Matters
Industrial facilities face growing pressure to reduce VOCs, odour, and Total-C while meeting stricter environmental standards and improving energy efficiency.
BM Process × Oxytec delivers the right solution by combining smart process integration and compliance expertise with proven non-thermal UV-C/ozone and plasma technologies. This partnership ensures the optimal treatment per exhaust stream—often avoiding energy-intensive thermal oxidation when non-thermal solutions offer a more efficient, flexible, and compact alternative.
Where Oxytec Technologies Deliver the Greatest Value
Oxytec solutions are used across multiple industrial contexts, including:
Industrial Emission Control
Advanced treatment of VOCs and odour emissions from chemical, textile, pharmaceutical, and automotive plants—ensuring compliance and cleaner operations.
Wastewater & Sewage Odour Solutions
Effective control of H₂S, DMS, amines, mercaptans, and other odour compounds from wastewater treatment, sludge drying, pumping stations, and waste facilities.
Food Processing & Thermal Odours
Reliable odour and emission management for food processing, roasting (coffee, malt), fryer lines, and industrial smoking systems.
Battery Recycling Emission Systems
Complex multi-stage emission control for battery recycling, combining plasma, UV/ozone, and catalytic technologies—proven in real field applications.
Animal Feed Production
Specialized odour and emission treatment solutions for animal feed manufacturing, ensuring safe, hygienic, and regulation-compliant processes.
Meat Processing Facilities
Targeted odour control solutions for meat processing plants, improving air quality across production and handling areas.
Technical Solutions by Oxytec
From consultancy and engineering to continuous improvement, we guide your project through every critical stage. Our standout difference? We dig deeper during our Pre-Engineering Studies, uncovering key insights that ensure solid foundations and long-term success.
UV-C / Ozone Air Treatment (Photolytic Oxidation)
Oxytec applies UV-C to generate ozone under controlled conditions and oxidise organic pollutants (photolysis + photooxidation principles). The process targets high removal with organic oxidation pathways and controlled reaction time design.
Non-Thermal Plasma (Cold Plasma)
Plasma technology uses electrical fields to generate reactive radicals that break down pollutants and odours without heating the full exhaust stream like thermal systems.
Hybrid Setups: Scrubber + Plasma + UV/Ozone + Catalyst/Carbon
A recurring design approach to achieve optimal performance is a multi-stage treatment chain to handle aerosols/particles, odour compounds and VOC reduction goals.
Mobile On-Site Testing Systems
A major strength of Oxytec is on-site testing for plant-specific dimensioning, using mobile test setups with modular stages (e-filter/washer/plasma/UV-C/activated carbon). This reduces technical risk before investment by gathering essential data from your process and a proof of concept.
Why Non-Thermal Can Beat Thermal
Oxytec highlights strong practical advantages versus thermal or other approaches, including:
- 80–95% lower energy consumption and CO₂ emissions
- Virtually no NOx emissions
- Stable operation against aerosols and particles
- Fast switch on/off
In addition, UV-C/ozone is a solution with low maintenance and operating costs, small space requirement (often roof installation), and high plant availability.
Customised Emission Control: Fit-for-purpose engineering
Oxytec does not position its systems as one-size-fits-all. System sizing, materials, and configuration depend on airflow, operating conditions, and pollutant profile. This aligns with BM Process’ philosophy: every solution must match the real exhaust stream and site constraints.
