This amount of renewable energy, alongside the ability to reduce the size of the waste to as little as 5% of the original size, is resulting in the energy-from-waste market growing year on year and is expected to hit £1.5 billion in the UK alone this year.
However, this solution does have its challenges, particularly emissions arising from the combustion of materials such as non-recyclable plastics and other hazardous and non-hazardous materials. Glosfume has been providing energy-from-waste hot gas filter systems for decades, enabling the safe reduction and removal of submicron particles, acid gases, dioxins, furans, and heavy metals.
Authorities are imposing tighter restrictions on the use of energy-from-waste systems due to the emissions they can create. At Glosfume, we have designed filtration media to resolve these problems, resulting in catalytic filter elements coated with a microporous surface finish that will trap submicron particles while simultaneously reducing NOx levels, providing solutions to the most stringent of restrictions while also enabling systems to be carbon-capture ready.
