Air and gas purification

Adsorptive purification of biogenic and technical gases

Unwanted trace gases are often the cause of expensive damage in technical facilities, are toxic and also have an environmental impact too. Thanks to our experience and technical knowledge, we are on hand to help you remove these trace gases from all kinds of biogenic and technical gas streams.

In air and gas purification, adsorption plays an extremely important role as physical adsorption (physisorption) or as chemical adsorption (chemisorption). There are numerous areas of application here.

  • Purification of technical gases
  • Purification of biogas, sewage treatment gas and landfill gas
  • Solvent recovery
  • Soil air purification
  • Exhaust air purification and odour removal
  • Hydrogen and noble gas purification

Products for the adsorptive purification of gases

The products that can be used are as varied as the areas of application. We will be happy to advise you!

Activated carbon granulate for adsorptive water purification and absorptive gas purification

Activated carbon granulates are so-called direct activates, as they are not shaped. The natural form of the granules of stone, coconut or charcoal is used and these are activated directly at over 930°C with steam. A subsequent classification enables the delivery of a specific grain size.

NECA|active® gr activated carbon granulates are versatile and characterized by a high internal surface area and a wide pore spectrum.

  • For drug purification in the liquid phase
  • For water purification
  • For gas cleaning
