Mercaptane  – Thiole

Mercaptan tends to ignite suddenly. It must be transported in closed containers. If the pressure rises, there is a risk of explosion. An explosive mixture can also form with warm ambient air.

Mercaptan vapors can be invisible and are heavier than air. They spread along the ground and can enter sewers and basements.

Toxic vapors are also produced in fires. Fires must not be extinguished with water.

We remove mercaptan vapors produced during sewage sludge drying with our UV ozone air purification systems and downstream activated carbon filter.

• Very effective
• Little space required
• Lower energy consumption than thermal processes
• Very low maintenance
