Airborne and odorous substances from processing Tobacco industry

During the processing of tobacco, various process steps generate exhaust air streams that are contaminated with organic compounds, odorous substances and fine particles. Emissions occur particularly during drying, conditioning and further processing, the composition and intensity of which vary depending on the raw material and operating method.

In addition to reliable compliance with legal requirements, the reliable reduction of odors plays a particularly important role in the tobacco industry, both with regard to the environment and internal requirements. At the same time, exhaust air solutions must be stable over the long term and be able to be seamlessly integrated into existing production processes.

Activated carbon offers a proven way of effectively removing volatile organic compounds and odor-intensive substances from exhaust air streams. The targeted selection of suitable activated carbons enables consistent results to be achieved even under changing operating conditions.
