Exhaust air purification for drying processes after painting and coating

Reliable neutralization of VOCs with UV ozone systems from oxytec – energy-efficient, retrofittable, approval-safe

Afterpainting, coatingorbondingworkpieces are driedin tunnels, chambers or ovens. Large quantities ofsolventsand volatile organic compounds (VOCs) frompaints,varnishes,primersoradhesivesevaporate in the process. These pollute the exhaust air considerably, are harmful to health, often flammable (ATEX) and lead to odor problems or licensing requirements.

oxytec offers compact, powerfulUV ozone systemsfor exhaust air purification in dryers – asalternative or supplement to thermal afterburningor activated carbon filters. This enables you to meet all relevant requirements – economically, safely and environmentally friendly.

Typical emissions from drying processes

__TAG3__Process example __TAG5__

__TAG7__Typical VOCs / emissions __TAG9__

__TAG11__Special features __TAG13__

__TAG21__Xylene,Ethyl acetate, Glycol ether

__TAG33__MEK,Toluene,Acetone __TAG39__

__TAG55__Solvent residuesfrom pre-treatment/painting

__TAG65__VOCs, water vapor, possibly additives

Drying of paints (solvent-based) High VOC load, diffuse outgassing, ATEX-relevant
Drying of adhesives (e.g. PU, acrylic) Odorous, toxic, volatile
UV/radiation drying Acrylates, ozone, photoinitiators Low air volume, high odor effect
Powder coating (chamber exhaust air) High temperature, VOC mixtures
Infrared/hot air dryers Combination of moisture and volatile substances

Why is VOC neutralization in dryer exhaust air so important?

__TAG0__VOCs are harmful to health, flammable and strictly regulated __TAG2____TAG4__

__TAG6__Solvent residuesCan generate explosive atmospheres (ATEX)

__TAG10__Odors lead to complaints and complaints __TAG12____TAG14__

__TAG16__TA Luft, VOC Directive, 31st BImSchVprescribe emission reduction

Drying exhaust air is oftendifficult to treat with activated carbon– too hot, too humid or polluted too quickly
With Oxytec you can clean your exhaust airefficiently and residue-free– even with high loads.

Legal requirements

    __TAG1____TAG3__TA Luft (2021):Limit values for VOCs, organic emissions, odor

    __TAG7____TAG9__31st BImSchV:Obligation to reduce VOCs from 2 t VOC/year
