TechTalks – Episode 4 : What pollutants can be treated ?

Smart Burners have the capability to treat a wide range of pollutants, primarily focusing on organic compounds. These include various challenging substances such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins, dibenzofuran, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), often found in creosote at wood treatment sites and coal tar at former Manufactured Gas Plant sites, as well as chlorinated solvents like trichloroethene (TCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE), 1,2-dichloroethene (1,2-DCE), trichloroethanes (TCA), and other halogenated hydrocarbons. Additionally, Smart Burners can effectively treat pesticides, herbicides, petroleum, petroleum products, and their volatile...

Boost Energy Efficiency with Haemers Technologies’ Innovative Solution: Uniform Heating Along the Tube!

🔥 Achieving uniform heating along the tube is a vital factor in improving energy efficiency during thermal desorption processes. Haemers Technologies introduces a groundbreaking design using two coaxial tubes to ensure consistent temperatures along the entire length of the tube, maximizing performance and minimizing energy consumption. 💡 Our mission to enhance energy efficiency doesn't stop there. Our dedicated R&D team is continuously working on other aspects, such as reducing energy consumption in burners and implementing advanced monitoring systems to optimize the...

SITE UPDATE : STRASBOURG, France

🔝 We have started the treatment of the 3rd pile on our site in Strasbourg, France. ✔️ We are applying Ex-Situ Thermal Desorption (ESTD) to remediate the soil contaminated with Hydrocarbons and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). 🌡️ The desired treatment temperature is 250°C and 77 burners are heated to treat 2000m³ of soil. 💡 We are glad to announce that we have introduced a system of continuous monitoring of stack emissions. As soon as we approach the threshold, an alert is triggered, enabling...

Unlocking the Power of Desorption Kinetics: Crucial in the Pursuit of Efficiency!

In the race for efficiency, understanding desorption kinetics is paramount. It's time to debunk the common misconception that temperature alone dictates successful remediation. The truth is, kinetics - the relationship between temperature and time - plays a vital role in achieving optimal results. Imagine this: Each compound has a unique vapor pressure at a specific temperature. Just as water evaporates at 100°C but also slowly at lower temperatures, pollutants behave similarly. The key lies in comprehending the kinetics of desorption. At Haemers...
