Challenge

Removing NOx emissions from combustion plants and incineration facilities is currently expensive and has a significant environmental impact.

Solution

NONOX technology biologically treats NOx from exhaust gases in a two-step process: absorption using a non-aqueous phase liquid (NAP) and bioremediation with denitrifying bacteria that convert it into nitrogen gas (N₂).

Advantages:

  • Sustainable: does not use liquid ammonia or urea.
  • Low consumables cost: recovers 99% of the NAP.
  • Safe: generates only N₂ and small amounts of CO₂.
  • Versatile: adaptable to a wide range of combustion facilities.
  • Low energy consumption: operates at ambient temperature (25-35°C).
