Capturing and destroying harmful emissions from pharmaceutical processes can be challenging. It’s not because the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are difficult to destroy using catalytic or thermal techniques. It’s because their concentrations can be so high. These process streams raise safety concerns, both when they’re collected in vents and when they reach the final combustion equipment. This article discusses the options.

Catalytic and thermal oxid

Problem

A facility expansion project required a pharmaceutical packaging manufacturer to relocate an existing Anguil 10,000 SCFM twin-bed RTO.

Action
