Gas Cleaning
Wet Gas Cleaning
In wet gas cleaning, pollutants and aerosols are removed from exhaust gases by means of absorption and chemisorption. In addition, mechanical and dynamic aerosol separators and wet electrostatic precipitators are used here.
Dry Gas Cleaning
In dry gas cleaning, mainly adsorptive and separating methods are used to remove pollutants that have arisen during combustion processes. HUGO PETERSEN has been successfully using dry sorption, SCR processes and activated coke filter technology for many years.
Gas purification technology
HUGO PETERSEN GmbH has been active in the field of industrial gas treatment and purification for over 70 years. In the early days, gas purification for SO2-containing waste gases for the production of sulphuric acid using the contact process was the driving force behind the use of this technology.
However, during the early ’60s, gas purification, outside of Sulphuric Acid production, also became an area of activity and expertise for HUGO PETERSEN.
In addition to the separation of acidic components from waste gases, aerosol separation was, and still is, a decisive technological component of our portfolio.
