Project overview
The Foundry Post-Pouring Emission Control project is an industrial air-treatment installation in Slovakia, associated with the management of process emissions following metal casting.
During foundry operations, thermal exposure of moulding materials and chemical binders can generate airborne organic compounds that require extraction and treatment.
The installation focuses on phenol and formaldehyde, two compounds associated with foundry post-pouring emissions.
A tower scrubbing system with a documented airflow capacity of 125,000 m³/hour provides treatment of the extracted process air.
Wet scrubbing brings the contaminated air stream into contact with a treatment liquid, enabling the removal of selected pollutants through absorption and, where applicable, chemical reaction.
The project represents a high-volume industrial air-treatment application within the metal casting industry.
