Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
Thermal Gas Treatment Systems: Technology for breaking down gases at high temperatures and subsequent wet scrubbing. The Burn-Wet Scrubber (CT-BW) utilizes fuels like methane, propane, and hydrogen, offering high Destruction and Removal Efficiency (DRE), especially for climate-damaging PFCs. The Thermal-Wet Scrubber (CT-TW) uses an electric heater as a fuel source, effective for flammable waste gas treatment. The Plasma-Wet Scrubber (CT-PW) employs a plasma source, suitable for waste gas treatment from CVD and etching processes.ThermalGasTreatmentSystems:Technologyforbreakingdowngasesathightemperaturesandsubsequentwetscrubbing.TheBurn-WetScrubber(CT-BW)utilizesfuelslikemethane,propane,andhydrogen,offeringhighDestructionandRemovalEfficiency(DRE),especiallyforclimate-damagingPFCs.TheThermal-WetScrubber(CT-TW)usesanelectricheaterasafuelsource,effectiveforflammablewastegastreatment.ThePlasma-WetScrubber(CT-PW)employsaplasmasource,suitableforwastegastreatmentfromCVDandetchingprocesses.
Dry Gas Treatment Systems: Technology used for harmful gases, dust abatement, and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) removal. The Dry Bed Absorber (CT-D) provides safe and efficient disposal of harmful gases used in the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries, characterized by low media supply demand and long granulate lifetime. The Activated Charcoal Adsorber (CT-AC) is an adsorption system for VOC treatment. The Particle Filter (CT-PF) is a filter system with high particle removal efficiency exceeding 99.95%.DryGasTreatmentSystems:Technologyusedforharmfulgases,dustabatement,andVOC(VolatileOrganicCompounds)removal.TheDryBedAbsorber(CT-D)providessafeandefficientdisposalofharmfulgasesusedinthesemiconductorandphotovoltaicindustries,characterizedbylowmediasupplydemandandlonggranulatelifetime.TheActivatedCharcoalAdsorber(CT-AC)isanadsorptionsystemforVOCtreatment.TheParticleFilter(CT-PF)isafiltersystemwithhighparticleremovalefficiencyexceeding99.95%.
Wet Gas Treatment Systems: Wet chemical waste gas treatment technology for scrubbing water-soluble harmful gases and transferring them to the liquid phase. The Wet Scrubber (CT-W) is suitable for treating waste gases from various applications including etching and EPI processes, efficiently handling acidic and alkaline waste gases like HCl, HF, SiH2Cl2, SiCl4, and NH3. The Bio Scrubber (CT-Eco) is an innovative solution for industrial wastewater treatment, utilizing distinct bacterial strains.WetGasTreatmentSystems:Wetchemicalwastegastreatmenttechnologyforscrubbingwater-solubleharmfulgasesandtransferringthemtotheliquidphase.TheWetScrubber(CT-W)issuitablefortreatingwastegasesfromvariousapplicationsincludingetchingandEPIprocesses,efficientlyhandlingacidicandalkalinewastegaseslikeHCl,HF,SiH2Cl2,SiCl4,andNH3.TheBioScrubber(CT-Eco)isaninnovativesolutionforindustrialwastewatertreatment,utilizingdistinctbacterialstrains.
