Industrial & Manufacturing
Puragen helps industrial, engineering and manufacturing businesses meet environmental regulations, reduce emissions and manage process water and wastewater with high-performance activated carbon solutions including filter service and mobile filters.
Key processes we help with
Puragen helps industrial, engineering and manufacturing businesses reduce harmful emissions, treat process water and wastewater and comply with air quality regulations.
To achieve this, Puragen’s experts recommend products optimised for specific operational and compliance requirements, ensuring reliable purification for air emissions, process water or waste treatment in industrial and engineering production processes.
Puragen’s activated carbon solutions work across a wide range of industrial & manufacturing applications, including:
Water is essential for cooling, quenching and metal finishing. Activated carbon removes organic contaminants and residual chemicals for sustainable water management and to comply with regulations.
Industrial processes can release VOCs, fumes and odors from casting, rolling and surface treatments. Activated carbon captures these pollutants, improving air quality, worker safety and compliance.
High-temperature processes may generate dioxins, mercury and acid gases. Activated carbon effectively captures these pollutants, for cleaner air and regulatory compliance.
Activated carbon is used in extracting precious metals like gold from process streams, improving yield and reducing waste.
Activated carbon acts as a support for catalysts, optimising chemical reactions in metal processing and improving efficiency and product quality.
