The Hidden Value in Your Off-Gas
Some industrial processes vaporize valuable materials — mercury from chlor-alkali, refining and lamp recycling, plus precious metals in specialty off-gases. Letting them escape is both an emission problem and lost product.
Condensation Recovery Principle
- A corrosion-proof plate heat exchanger cools the metal-laden vapor stream, condensing mercury or precious metals onto a controlled surface for collection.
- Stainless-steel (316L) and inert polymer cores resist the aggressive condensate and prevent re-entrainment.
- The system sits upstream of or alongside abatement, turning a compliance cost into recovered material.
Typical Applications
- Mercury vapor recovery from petrochemical and industrial boiler off-gas.
- Precious-metal condensation in specialty chemical and recycling exhaust.
- Closed, isolated loops that keep toxic streams away from personnel and product.
Our plate and polymer air-to-air exchangers are built for exactly these corrosive, high-value streams. See the full Applications & Solutions set, or talk to us about a recovery skid sized to your gas.
