Dioxins and furans are dangerous chemical compounds produced during incineration. They decay very slowly, which makes them serious environmental pollutants.
Area Impianti offers two treatment methods:
- Dry injection of adsorbents: this method fixes the substances in the solid phase, so that they can be captured and disposed of. It is most effective at low temperatures and uses adsorbents such as activated carbon, lignite coke and dolomite and clay mixes.
- Catalytic destruction in SCR systems: using the same catalysts as in DeNOx SCR systems, the process destroys dioxins and furans (PCDD/F) and prevents their reformation.
