VOC REMOVAL
VOCs (volatile organic compounds) represent a hidden yet significant threat to air quality for those operating near the emission source or in surrounding areas.
ADVANTAGES
Depurare i COV con impianti su misura riduce l’impatto ambientale e garantisce la conformità alle normative vigenti.
SECURITY
Treating VOCs with custom-designed systems reduces environmental impact and ensures compliance with current regulations.
EFFICIENCY
Le tecnologie adottate (fotocatalisi, postcombustione, carboni attivi) permettono un abbattimento mirato e proporzionale al tipo di COV.
VOC PURIFICATION RESULTS
The technologies used, photocatalysis, thermal oxidation, activated carbon, enable targeted reduction based on the type of VOCs present.
OUR VOC REMOVAL SYSTEMS ARE IDEAL IF YOU ARE FACING:
- Presence of hazardous volatile substances
VOCs such as benzene, formaldehyde, and hydrocarbons are highly toxic and common in many industrial processes—BMB handles them with specialized technologies. - Emissions exceeding legal environmental limits
BMB designs systems that meet regulatory requirements, ensuring pollutant reductions above 70%. - High-risk production environments (oil, paint, solvents, sprays)
BMB systems are tailored for complex settings where VOCs are emitted even during product usage. - Need for customized solutions for specific industrial plants
Each system is calibrated to the structure and layout of the facility, following a detailed technical analysis. - Treatment of compounds with highly diverse chemical properties
Thanks to integrated technologies (biological, thermal oxidizers, photocatalysis, activated carbon), BMB systems adapt to every type of VOC. - Demand for measurable, short-range results
BMB plants deliver real, verifiable improvements in air quality in the immediate vicinity of the site.
