Adsorptive smoothers for exhaust gas cleaning

Abstract

Organic solvents are used in a variety of production processes. Each process has a specific emission curve. Emission curves with high concentration peaks of organic solvents lead to difficult engineering of necessary exhaust gas treatment plants. The implementation of adsorptive smoother buffers organic solvents during high emission periods, while a discharge from the storage increases the output level during low emission periods. Additionally the cut off of emission peaks has the advantage of an easier compliance with safety requirements. Modelling results as well as experimental data show the effect of adsorptive smoothers for exhaust gas flows. Defining a degree of smoothing it can be shown that the amplitude of peaks can be reduced up to over 90 % depending of the adsorbent. Nevertheless experiments with multi-component mixtures of organic solvents are necessary to analyze effects like co-adsorption.
