Epcon Seeking Companies in the Carbon Credit Market
Epcon Seeking Companies in the Carbon Credit Market
Epcon sells premium Thermal Oxidizers and RTOs which can facilitate carbon credit utilization and help in reducing carbon footprints.
Epcon has been in the business of manufacturing, selling, and developing patented technologies relevant to thermal oxidizers and regenerative thermal oxidizers since 1976, long before Climate Change was widely accepted as the theory its become. But as environmental concerns have steadily been mounting, the efficiency technologies comprising our oxidizers have also been steadily improving.
Epcon's Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) capture methane released by coal mining operations, known as coal mine methane (CMM). CMM is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG). Currently, only a fraction of CMM emissions are recovered for safety purposes and used as an energy source. Meanwhile, 50% to 70% of all CMM originates from mine ventilation systems and remains virtually unexploited. Although ventilation air methane (VAM) represents GHG emissions of 300 million tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) annually, its extremely dilute methane content has proven to be a barrier to its use.
Our oxidizers have matured into Volatile Organic Compound, or (VOC), Abatement Systems. Our systems rely upon the concept of a chemical reaction - one involving organic hydrocarbons being processed. In this relevant oxidation process, the volatile compounds within the air stream - VOC pollutants - are broken down from their original constituents and reformed into new compounds. Heat and oxygen are added to the hydrocarbons to create Thermal Oxidation. In deciding how to best apply one of our state-of-the-art Thermal Oxidizers or Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers to a given environment, complex factors such as volumetric flow, volatile organic compound loading, and concentrations of other inorganic contamination must be determined. Beyond those givens, new problems in the creative minimization of VOCs can be considered, and in fact, are actively being sought. If you're looking to cash in on the carbon credit market, doing it with the help of the optimal Thermal Oxidizer or RTO will make your task easier. Our DRE rates are without peer in the industry not only for VOCs, but for a myriad of HAPs (hazardous air pollutants) and odors as well.
Applications for carbon credit-facilitating Epcon-sourced technologies are popping up everywhere. Ingenious adaptations of our technologies have already made power generation more feasible in several different types of industrial plants, as by-products have moved into the forefront. In the impending federally-congenial, Obama-energized "pre-compliance" culture, innovations in sequestering carbon will be the rule, not the exception. Epcon will be there, as in the case of Climate Change, the sky is no limit, it's the vehicle of our imaginations.
