Emission Reduction

Living in an environment with clean air is essential for human beings. However since the Industrial Revolution clean air has become more and more restricted to areas with no or few population. In our industrialized world, many factories and power plants emit air of questionable quality. Our ways of transporting are not better, since cars and trucks contribute to a large extent the pollution in our cities.

This situation has become worse and worse, reason for the European union to set rules for diminshing the emission of hazardous substances into the environment. In the 70s of the last century, these rules have been transformed into national law for each of EU’s countries.

Not only has Europe set rules for reduction of emission, Europe also has set rules for monitoring and improving the measures to be taken. This has resulted in the obligation, that the best available techniques have to be used.

For emissions of VOC’s and many other chemical substances, HVR has developed a reduction technique, called MicroGasWash.
