SYNOPSIS
Gas-phase advanced oxidation (GPAO) is a new air cleaning technology based on the natural self-cleaning processes that occur in the Earth’s atmosphere. The technology uses cold combustion to eliminate a broad range of air pollution with extremely low energy use relative to traditional methods. The performance of GPAO systems that have been tested at a fermentation factory, a water treatment plant, heavy industry and a manufacturer working with polymers will be discussed.
The GPAO systems treat volatile organic compounds, reduced sulfur compounds, amines, ozone, nitrogen oxides, particles and odor. For gas phase compounds and odors including VOCs (e.g. C6H6 and C3H8) and reduced sulfur compounds (e.g. H2S and CH3SH), removal efficiencies exceed 80%. The method is energy efficient relative to many established technologies and is applicable to pollutants emitted from diverse sources including food processing, foundries, water treatment, biofuel generation, and petrochemical industries.
BIODATA OF SPEAKER
Matthew S. Johnson has a PhD in Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen. He wrote the book 'Chemistry and the Environment' published by Cambridge University Press, together with colleague Sven Harnung. He is author or coauthor of 95 peer-reviewed articles. Johnson is the inventor of Gas Phase Advanced Oxidation which is the basis of two new companies, Infuser and Airlabs. He serves as Science Advisor and Director of Infuser, and Chief Scientific Officer of Airlabs.
