Sulfur removal | Flue gas treatment

Streamline your operations and lower your carbon footprint with Topsoe's SNOX™ flue gas treatment

SNOX™ is a flue gas treatment solution that provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional flue gas desulfurization (FGD) methods. With SNOX™, you can improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and pave the way for new business opportunities.

By removing pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and mercury from flue gas, SNOX™ helps you meet strict emissions standards while streamlining your operations. Overall, it is a powerful way to reduce your carbon footprint and boost efficiency in your industrial operations.

SNOX™ Flue Gas Treatment allows you to:

Recover sulfur as commercial-grade sulfuric acid rather than gypsum.
Reduce compliance costs and avoid waste generation.
Remove sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and mercury from flue gas in a single process, simplifying and streamlining your operations.
Improve energy efficiency and increase energy production, lowering your carbon footprint and boosting your bottom line.
Gain a cost-effective flue gas treatment solution that creates new business opportunities and benefits your operations in multiple ways.

One of the industries where SNOX™ especially applicable to the carbon black industry, which requires significant energy and produces large amounts of flue gas. This flue gas can be treated with SNOX™ for cost-effective sulfur recovery and emissions reduction. The oil refining and natural gas industries can also benefit from treating their boiler flue gases with SNOX™ to meet strict emissions standards while improving efficiency and profitability.

Protect your profit and the environment with SNOX™ flue gas treatment

Topsoe provides the expertise and technology needed to solve you most significant challenges and create new opportunities for your business. With SNOX^TM, you can pave the way for new business opportunities, enhance energy efficiency and lower your carbon footprint with a solution that protects you profit and the environment.
