Export growth for ERG Air Pollution Control

According to ERG, its international work supports customers managing complex emissions and meeting environmental requirements, including at major wastewater treatment sites in the Middle East.

Odour control technologies for hot climates
Over the past three years, ERG has invested in developing and proving its biotrickling filter and catalytic activated carbon technologies for use in hot climates. The company said these systems remove hydrogen sulphide and control odours.
According to ERG, the technologies help customers meet demanding treatment requirements while keeping operating costs low. Hydrogen sulphide is a common source of odour at wastewater treatment facilities, where it can be a focus of emissions control.
The company said the presentation also recognised the people behind that work. Their contribution ranges from developing treatment technologies to delivering projects and supporting customers internationally.
