Electrochemical flue gas purification

Purification of exhaust gasses has gained increasing interest in the public and there are being posed strict demands on emission levels from automobiles. There are known solutions for purifying exhaust gasses from most stationary installations and from conventional gasoline engines (Otto engines), but there are still unsolved issues with diesel engines and lean-burn engines (Otto engines running on a surplus of air under combustion). Especially in mind is combustion of soot (diesel engines) and removal of NOX (diesel engines and lean-burn).

We have initiated projects aimed at developing specific electrodes for this purpose and also preparing the technology for the marked. You can read much more about our efforts on these pages.
