Agreement Boosts RTO Technology for North America
NUTEC Bickley announces that it has just signed an agreement with Kalfrisa (Zaragoza, Spain) which awards it the exclusive licence for the design, manufacture and installation of Kalfrisa’s regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) in North America. The Spanish company is just celebrating 60 years in delivering advanced technologies and innovative solutions for energy saving and environmental protection.
Alberto Cantú, NUTEC Bickley’s VP Ceramics and New Business Development, said: “The effective and safe removal of VOCs is vital for a wide range of industries and is something we are asked to address on a regular basis. Kalfrisa is a highly respected name in emissions treatment and control and so I’m delighted that we have been able to announce this new collaborative agreement. There is strong potential for the deployment of high-performance RTOs in the North American market, and I’m very excited about working closely with Kalfrisa to deliver the best available technology.”
“Celebrating 60 years is not only a time to reflect on the past, but also to reaffirm where we want to go," says José María Claver, CEO of Kalfrisa. "This alliance with NUTEC Bickley is part of our internationalization and innovation strategy; it is a path to grow, to be closer to our customers in North America, and to do so alongside a partner that shares our values."
RTOs are used to eliminate gaseous contaminants from industrial emissions. The gases are heated to around 800°C (1470°F) for a given residence time, ensuring the mixture turbulence, so that they are combined with oxygen, thereby completely transforming them into CO2 and water via oxidation reaction.
There are a number of industrial processes for which RTOs provide ideal VOCs removal, such as:
Manufacture of paints and varnish
Automobile industry
Surface coverings and treatments
Graphic, flexographic and rotogravure industries
Manufacture of packaging
Food industry
Wood coverings
Chemical and pharmaceutical sector
Petrochemical, Oil and Gas industry
Daniel Llaguno, CEO of NUTEC Group, said of this strategic alliance: “It is an honor for us to collaborate with a company with such a long history of innovation as Kalfrisa. Their technology complements our industrial offering and allows us to deliver even greater value to the local market.”
Alberto Cantú added: “During our recent visits to the Zaragoza facility, the Kalfrisa team showed us several other product lines that are highly complementary to our core business, and these present decent prospects for future cooperation efforts.”
