Types of gases and common contaminants in this industry
The metal industry, with its complex and diverse operations, is a significant source of various types of gases and contaminants. The most common among them include nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and fine particles. These pollutants are inevitable byproducts of fundamental industry processes such as smelting, rolling, coating, and heat treatment.
For example, nitrogen oxides are commonly generated in high-temperature processes and are known for their contribution to smog and acid rain formation. On the other hand, sulfur dioxide, often associated with smelting processes, poses risks to both human health and the environment. VOCs, emitted during coating and other surface treatments, are concerning due to their potential to generate ground-level ozone, while fine particles, can cause severe respiratory problems.
Due to the specific characteristics and risks associated with each of these pollutants, it is essential to adopt differentiated and specific approaches to their treatment. At Tecnium, we understand the nature and origin of these contaminants and develop gas treatment solutions that are not only efficient but also tailored to address the unique challenges presented by each type of emission in the metal industry.
