ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY FOR THE ENERGY SECTOR
Tecam in the energy sector
When analysing the environmental problems of the energy sector, we must first consider the impacts of extractive activities (petrochemicals, coal mining, etc.) and then those related to electricity generation systems.
Tecam provides environmental technology solutions in both areas for this sector.
Specific aspects of the sector and the environment
The energy sector, understood as the transformation sector, converts primary energy into final energy.
Most greenhouse gases come from fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
During the process of converting fossil fuels into energy, they burn and release various pollutant gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and solid particles.
Pollutants in the energy sector
Industrial pollutant emissions include greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and acidifying pollutants such as sulphur oxides (SOx).
They also include pollutants that can affect human and environmental health, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (in this case PM10), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and heavy metals, in particular cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg).

Wet and corrosive gases: how to eliminate them
Wet and corrosive gases are those containing acidic chemical compounds, for example, hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF), SOx, that can generate sulphuric acids (e.g. H2SO4) and bases (e.g. ammonia NH3). These gases must be duly treated and cleaned in...
The problem with industrial NOx emissions
The problem with Nitrogen compounds (NOx) emissions is that they contribute to generating the greenhouse effect. For example, N2O causes 300 times more damage than CO2. In addition, NOx combines with the humidity of the air in the atmosphere and is the cause of acid...
Sulfur oxides (SOx) and their treatment
What are they: Sulfur oxides (SOx) are compounds made up of sulfur and oxygen, and hazardous for people and the environment. SO2 is the component of greatest concern. Other gaseous SOx (such as SO3) are found in the atmosphere at concentrations much lower than SO2....
