GC-type reactors

The GC reactors are designed to dispose of harmful or noxious compounds contained in emission gases. The term “GC” comes from the abbreviation for “gas cleaning”.

SMALLTHINGS currently offers three GC-type reactors:

• MOR (Microwave Oxidation Reactor) – is a reactor that purifies flue gases from harmful substances
• MNR (Microwave Neutralizing Reactor) – is a reactor that purifies flue gases from nuisance odors
• TEST-GC – is a compact reactor, combines the features of the above two reactors. Designed for users who want to study the effects of microwaves on various gases. After testing their processes with this reactor, the users can decide whether to use a complete SMALLTHINGS system that is optimally suited to their needs

GC reactors vs. conventional technology

The afterburning chamber of the GC reactor is a kind of combination of a flue gas afterburning chamber with an absorption filter and catalyst operating at high temperatures, without emitting any kind of solid, liquid, or gaseous contaminants.

Who should benefit from the advantages of GC-type reactors?

The flue gases and other noxious gases are part of many technological processes carried out in various industries. We present a few of them, explaining why it makes sense to make these processes more environmentally friendly with GC-type reactors.

The use of GC-type reactors allows for the elimination of harmful organic compounds (VOCs) and aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), formed during the production and storage of substances needed for the production of asphalts and bituminous masses. Thanks to our innovative technology, the process of thermal treatment of emission gases and odors is carried out with zero emissions - unlike conventional methods. Our solutions also eliminate the creation of any additional waste in the form of sorbents or efflux. Our microwave reactors also enable significant SO2 reduction. With a high efficiency of up to 99.9%, the IMT technology is not only part of an innovative solution for environmental protection, but also eliminates the use of conventional fuels and absorption methods, using only microwave field energy with electricity. The GC-type reactors solve the problem of noxious fumes and odors and their negative impact on the environment, providing the opportunity for non-invasive production.
