About
Clairion's technology is designed for the removal of pollutants from flue gas or biogas streams. It utilizes a specialized scrubbing system that employs a unique absorbing liquid, which is a blend of modified ionic liquids and oxidizers. These ionic liquids are known for their low volatility and high thermal stability. The process involves spraying and circulating this liquid in a scrubber, where it absorbs pollutants through a catalytic process. This method allows for the efficient capture and separation of pollutants, including NOx, SOx, mercury, H2S, and Siloxanes. The technology is noted for its ability to handle multiple pollutants simultaneously, offering environmental and financial benefits. The absorbing liquid in this closed-cycle process is regenerated and reused, minimizing waste and environmental impact
