Emission Control in Coating Companies

Abstract

Given the constantly increasing amount of stress to our environment caused by waste and pollutants in wastewater and exhaust gases and due to the increasingly negative impact on our living conditions and quality of life, environmental conservation continues to gain importance. Large concentrations of air pollution cause damage to humans, animals, plants and buildings. Thus, a different, ecological consciousness is developing in the relevant and responsible persons in industry and politics, as well as in individual citizens (Troge, Technik und Umwelt, 1985). The handling and removal of solid waste, the processing and cleaning of contaminated wastewater before it is directed into standing or flowing waters, and the disposal of pollutants from exhaust air before it is released into the surrounding atmosphere is increasingly becoming a general interest. Which is why heat recovery also plays an important role. It ensures that accrued heat and thus energy be made reusable to a certain degree. This is not only important from an ecological point of view, but also from an economic one. If recovered energy can be reused, there will be lower overall energy and resource consumption.
