Challenges facing the automotive industry
The automotive industry is in the midst of a transformation towards electric mobility. New drive and storage technologies also bring new production requirements for exhaust air and emissions treatment. Whether in battery production, fuel cell manufacturing or on test rigs, many processes release pollutants that must not be discharged untreated into the ambient air.
Battery test rigs present a particular challenge: stress tests release toxic exhaust gases, whose combustion products, quantities and release periods are often not precisely known for current and future battery systems. Both solid particles and gaseous air components must be reliably treated, even with highly variable flow rates and high temperatures.
Solutions for the automotive industry
PlasmaAir AG plans and delivers bespoke systems for cleaning industrial exhaust air – from process design, planning, supply and installation through to commissioning, all from a single source.
PlasmaAir AG has extensive experience in exhaust air treatment for battery test benches in the automotive industry, covering flow rates from 2,500 m³/h to 60,000 m³/h and temperatures of up to 600 °C. Depending on the pollutants and requirements, individual processes or multi-stage process steps are used – for example, wet scrubbers, Venturi scrubbers combined with chemical scrubbers, and activated carbon filters. This enables particles, acids and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to be reliably removed. The systems are individually designed for each application and can also be scaled to accommodate future emission scenarios that are not yet known.
