Pure presents plans to accelerate growth

Heerenveen | 16-08-2010

From 2005 Pure Air Solutions invested hugely in development of the next generation biological air treatment techniques related with the removal of VOC’s, H2S and Organic Odours. This strategy allowed the Company to become the front-runner in the European market with a unique technology, challenging outdated technologies, like thermal oxidation processes, with high energy requirements and secondary pollutants production such as CO2 and NOX.

Today Pure Air Solutions revealed plans to further advance their innovative and advanced biological air treatment systems. “Our objective is to play an active part in carbon emission reduction and minimizing climate change by the development, advancement and worldwide distribution of our technology,” stated André Schoonhoven, Managing Director. “Consequently we will explore opportunities for new products, but our focus is to enlarge the scalability and application of our technology in two major market segments.”

While maintaining its leading position in odour control, the Company is focusing on new industrial sectors emitting volatile organic compounds (VOC) and segments like biogas purification. The reduction of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions is as a global target for the control of the troposheric ozone levels. With the VOCUS, Pure Air Solutions already developed a technology to support this target in a sustainable and affordable way. The same applies for the Sulphus, a technology which is already successfully applied to H2S and other odour sources from Waste Water Treatment plants and now ready to purify raw biogas.

By combining knowledge and expertise from European partners with its own biofiltration technology expertise, Pure Air Solutions aims to introduce their technology into a wider range of industrial sectors. The Company established a consortium with the University of Valencia and Exel Composites, a technology company which designs, manufactures and markets composite profiles and tubes for industrial applications. The consortium is in the process to obtain more than € 1 million of funding from the European Union to accelerate their plans.
