PM2.5 Gas Treatment
In the Netherlands, PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) is a major air pollutant that significantly impacts air quality and public health. PM2.5 particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less can penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream, posing long-term health risks. RTO (thermal rotary oxidation) technology is currently a highly efficient and environmentally friendly solution for treating PM2.5 emissions and is widely used in industrial waste gas treatment in the Netherlands, helping companies meet stringent environmental emission standards.
Overview
RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer) is a highly efficient waste gas treatment device widely used in industrial waste gas treatment. RTO technology utilizes the principle of high-temperature oxidation, converting harmful gases into harmless substances such as carbon dioxide and water through the reaction of waste gas with oxygen. RTO not only boasts high-efficiency waste gas treatment capabilities but also features energy saving and environmental protection, making it particularly suitable for treating waste gases containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), acidic gases, and other harmful gases.
🌍 Background of PM2.5 Control in the Netherlands
The Netherlands has long been committed to improving air quality, with PM2.5 being one of the key targets in the country’s environmental regulations. Based on the EU Air Quality Directive, the Dutch government has set strict air pollution emission standards, particularly in the industrial sector, requiring companies to reduce emissions of PM2.5 and other particulate matter.
Dutch Regulations
Dutch environmental regulations require all industrial emissions of PM2.5 to be kept within legal limits, and companies must be granted an environmental permit. According to the Dutch Environmental Management Act and Air Quality Standards, the annual average concentration of PM2.5 must not exceed 25 micrograms per cubic meter.
