Air treatment

NOx is a major pollutant.  NOx emissions create acid rain, smog and ground level ozone in the industrialised world. NOx gases can for some people be a health problem related to occupational exposure. This issue has been given increasing focus. Much is done on SO₂ and most national government have given commitments and are now enforcing legislation to reduce NOx emissions and improve the air quality.

The oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), are mainly emitted from the burning of fuel, for example from coal and oil fired power plants or from diesel/heavy fuel oil engines for trucks and ships.

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are produced in all combustions where air nitrogen and/or fuel nitrogen are present. There are numerous ways to reduce such NOx emissions and Ammonia and Urea based chemicals have for years been used to turn the unwanted NOx into harmless Nitrogen and water.

We are the largest European producer of reducing agents based on Urea and Ammonia for these kinds of applications. Marketed under the trade name NOxCare and AdBlue, all grades are synthetic products, whose high purity guarantees the absence of metals or other substances that could modify the product during storage or damage the catalysts used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems.  These products are suitable for both stationary and transport related applications.
