Exhaust Gas Purification Catalysts (Oxidation-, Deodorization-, VOC-, and Combustion Catalysts)
![[Product images of exhaust gas purification catalysts] Metal honeycomb catalysts and pellet catalysts](/jp/products/img/img_oxidation_catalyst_01.jpg)
What are
Exhaust Gas Purification Catalysts
?
These honeycomb and pellet catalysts are used to decompose and neutralize VOCs and harmful gases in exhaust gases generated from various production processes and combustion equipment. They are highly active even at low temperatures, making them an important clean technology that contributes to air pollution control and reducing environmental impact. We also have a technical support system in place, including testing for introduction considerations and analysis for product investigations after introduction.
We provide high-performance exhaust gas purification catalysts.
Harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are harmful substances that can have a negative impact on the environment and human health.
We provide metal honeycomb catalysts and pellet catalysts that oxidize and decompose these harmful exhaust gases into harmless water and carbon dioxide.
Metal Honeycomb Catalyst
Features
- Has a large surface area and high catalytic reactivity due to the use of a honeycomb structure
- High opening ratio and low pressure loss due to thin wall thickness of honeycomb structure
- Compared to ceramic honeycombs, they have more freedom in size and can be square, round, or larger.
- Higher strength than ceramic honeycombs and easier to handle, as it is a metal honeycomb
