Efficient exhaust air cleaning in industrial and commercial applications
Exhaust gas limits must be in compliance with the governmental requirements of the Federal Immission Control Act.
In addition, the requirements for local authorities or complaints by local residents – for example, in the case of increased odor pollution in residential or residential areas – require the preparation of exhaust air. In addition to this, there are economic reasons which necessitate the processing of exhaust air. Thus, heat recovery systems can only be used sensibly in the case of organically contaminated air if a prior cleaning is carried out.
oxylight®PRO and oxylight®PRO JET
Highly efficient exhaust air purification modules for the reduction of VOCs, odors and organic compounds in industrial processes.
The high-power radiation sources developed for oxylight®PRO and PRO JET systems can meet the high requirements for industrial exhaust air purification sustainably and measurably.
The atmosphere is able to purify the air by decomposing organic substances by means of complex photochemical reactions. Hydroxyl radicals are an essential component of the self-purifying power of the atmosphere. These radicals oxidize hydrocarbons and industrial emissions (e.g., VOCs, odors, etc.) including the greenhouse gas methane.
The radicals could be generated efficiently and cost-effectively by oxylightPRO vacuum UV modules. We reliably implement the self-cleaning principle of nature and solve complex tasks for eliminating organic pollution in the exhaust air with a wide range of standard systems.

System layout
The requirements for the exhaust air purification are very different depending on the application area, material concentrations and setpoints. Therefore, the oxylightPRO modules are individually configured for the respective process and reliably designed in coordination with the operator.
