PAS in favour of RTO in Rumania

Heerenveen | 16-08-2009

Thermal oxidiser considered inflexible and expensive.

Pure Air Solutions has won the contract by Mutlipack Srl. in Rumania for the delivery of a Vocus to treat the solvent emission from their flexographic printers. After careful consideration of various technologies like incineration (RTO), Multipack decided for the Vocus because it was the most flexible and cost-effective technology for their emission.

The total Vocussystem is deliverd in two phases, so the inital investment can be spread. The first Vocus reactor will treat an airflow of 5.000 m3/h with a concentration of 1.190 mg solvents/ m3.

The Vocus is a biotrickling filter that uses biomass (microorganisms) to treat the solvent emission. The Vocus is due to be brought on line in early December this year. The design is made according to the demands of the European Solvent Emission Directive 1999/13/EC.
