What we do

Engineering for emission-control projects

WKV Consulting focuses exclusively on flue gas cleaning, activated carbon processes and the technical requirements arising from industrial emission limits.

01 / PROCESS

Flue Gas Cleaning Engineering

Concept development, process evaluation, basic engineering, technical reviews, optimisation and engineering support for new and existing flue gas cleaning systems.

02 / CARBON

Activated Carbon Technology

Specialist consultancy for activated carbon and activated coke systems, including adsorption, catalytic pollutant removal, media selection, process integration and regeneration.

03 / EMISSIONS

Emission Regulation Consulting

Technical assessment of emission requirements and development of practical plant concepts for SOx, NOx, dust, mercury, heavy metals, dioxins, furans, HCl, HF and VOCs.

In a nutshell

Activated carbon flue gas cleaning

Dry activated-carbon-based systems can combine adsorption and catalytic reactions in a single process concept and address several pollutants simultaneously.

Dry processNo process-water requirement within the activated carbon cleaning stage.
Activated carbon & activated cokeEngineering can be adapted to different carbon qualities and application requirements.
Multi-pollutant removalOne process concept can address acidic gases, NOx, dust, mercury, heavy metals and organic pollutants.
Low-temperature DeNOxActivated carbon provides catalytic properties that can support NOx removal at comparatively low temperatures.
Large industrial gas volumesSuitable process concepts can be developed for demanding large-scale industrial applications.
Ready for demanding limits
