Changing the game in the solvent emission treatment in the flexoprinting industry with Pure Infinity’s BONCUS

Albert Waalkens, MSc., Pure Infinity The Dutch company Pure Infinity has developed the BONCUS, a biological technology for solvent recycling in the flexo printing industry. Solvents emission treatment in the flexographic printing industry is conventionally done by incineration with the use of Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO’s). This method is counterproductive (cost/effect ratio) and may cause…

Styrene emission treatment in the Composites Industry: why?

Albert Waalkens, MSc., Pure Infinity Styrene emission in the Composite industry Styrene is a component that is used as solvent in the making of polyester products. Everybody knows the material where boats are made of: that is either polyester or composites. The material is increasingly used in the production of cars, busses and planes. Also…

Biological treatment: the solution for styrene emission in composite industry

Styrene is released to air during the production of composites. This is part of composite industry because the styrene is released from the resin. There are emission limiting production methods, but styrene emissions are ultimately inevitable in all production methods. In this blog we make a comparison between the different solutions for styrene emission in…

Solvent emission legislation in flexographic industry

Industrial emissions have been under the microscope for the last few years. There’s a green switch happening and companies EU wide need to think about their environmental policies. Many companies, also in the flexographic industry, struggle between keeping government and consumer happy with their emissions on one hand and making profit with their companies on…

Pure Infinity: the green emission treatment

As an environmental technologist, Pure Infinity owner Albert Waalkens observed already early that our environment benefits more from governmental and organizational solutions, rather than asking consumers to consume less. With that in mind he is convinced that the biggest benefit will come from making the source of the goods that are used and consumed green…

First BONCUS system for air emission treatment installed at Flexographic company

The first BONCUS system – a solvent air emission treatment system that converts the air emissions from a flexographic printing company into energy- is ready for commissioning. There is finally a payback model for the waste solvents in the flexographic industry. Pure Infinity has developed this technology for air treatment together with the University of…

Exel Composites Uses VOCUS Biotrickling system to Limit Styrene Emissions

Finland-based Exel Composites has completed a four-year project called Next Air Biotreat that explored biotrickling filtration as a way to limit styrene emissions. One of the most widely-discussed concerns among the composites industry is how to control styrene – a volatile component of polyester resin. In the past, researchers have tried to clean the styrene-contaminated…

VOC Removal or Volatile Organic Compounds Removal

[VOC removal VOC removal from air emissions in industry is mainly based on the European Directives. These are in place to protect the environment from these VOC’s or also referred to as solvents. VOC’s generally create photochemical SMOG. SMOG is causing increasingly health problems in densed populated area’s in Europe. Health Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)…
