Problem
Industrial facilities face increasingly stringent regulations regarding air pollutant emissions, including NOx, SOx, mercury, H2S, and siloxanes. Existing pollutant removal technologies often require multiple systems to address different pollutants, leading to complex implementations, high costs, and the generation of multiple waste streams.
Solution
Clairion provides integrated gas treatment solutions that remove multiple pollutants from industrial emissions and biogas streams using a proprietary liquid-based absorption process. Their patented technology utilizes unique absorbing liquid formulations within a wet scrubber system to simultaneously capture and separate various pollutants. The closed-loop system regenerates the absorbing liquid for reuse and transforms captured pollutants into stable byproducts or commercially valuable products like fertilizers and concentrated acids. Clairion's solutions offer a cost-effective and environmentally sound alternative to traditional single-pollutant removal methods, enabling industries to meet strict emission standards while minimizing waste and operational expenses.
Target Audience
Clairion's primary customers include industrial facilities, waste-to-energy plants, biogas producers, and other industries facing challenges in meeting air emission regulations and managing multiple pollutants in gas streams.
