Activated carbon for the removal of dioxins and heavy metals

Incineration produces dioxins and heavy metals that are toxic. To capture these, many incinerators use a method where activated carbon is injected into the flue gas. The dioxins and also heavy metals are adsorbed and thus filtered out.

Tomal’s delivery includes a silo plant with dosing equipment and pneumatic transport. Activated carbon is then added as a dry powder directly to the flue gas duct before the filter. As activated carbon is classified as explosive, we can also include a plant that complies with the ATEX directives.
