AirProtekt offers VOC abatement solution for coated film laminate specialist

Neschen Coating UK of Basildon, Essex has selected AirProtekt, to supply turnkey VOC abatement equipment for two solvent based film coating Pagendarm & Harnden presses. The coated film laminates produced at the Basildon facility are used by the printing and graphics industry for protecting and enhancing large-format images, photographs and digital prints under the Neschen and SEAL brand names. AirProtekt’s complete VOC abatement solution for the Essex business graphics company, featured a Honeycat ® catalytic oxidation system tailored by AirProtekt’s engineering team to efficiently deal with the relevant UK VOC emission legislation for a film laminate coating process that handles varying mixtures and concentration of solvents. To minimise downtime, the compact Honeycat ® catalytic oxidation system AirProtekt supplied featured a skid mounted design for quick easy installation. The whole plant arrived at site preassembled making it a simple case of offloading the equipment and connecting the utilities. AirProtekt’s competitively priced packaged solution also offered fast warm up times, low running costs together with low maintenance requirements. Trevor Lawton, AirProtekt’s managing director said: “VOC abatement is essential for many companies in the printing and graphics sector and the Neschen application underlines the core skills of AirProtekt’s air pollution control service. The nature of the graphics industry means that Neschen has to manufacture to tight deadlines. The company required a supplier that could install the VOC abatement equipment with the minimum of disruption to its own production runs.” AirProtekt has been Johnson Matthey’s UK distributor for industrial air pollution control catalysts for a number of years and has developed a broad practical knowledge of how catalyst technologies can be used to solve all kinds of air pollution control applications. The industrial air pollution control catalysts favoured by AirProtekt comprise thin-walled honeycomb supports coated with a fine dispersion of Platinum Group Metals, impregnated into a high surface area washcoat. The Platinum Group Metal catalysts, which form the heart of a catalytic oxidation system, are derived from well-proven autocatalyst technology and offer numerous benefits compared with rival catalytic systems. The catalytic modules available from AirProtekt can handle VOC concentrations between 600 and 2,000mg/m3 and offer abatement of a wide range of chemicals, including: chlorinated and non-chlorinated VOCs; light hydrocarbons; carbon monoxide and sulphated organics. The total package concept offered by AirProtekt includes process assessment, project design, supply of the air pollution equipment, installation and commissioning. The air pollution specialist is also capable of offering a complete after sales service.
