About

Lextran specializes in sulfur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) catalytic pollutant removal in an open-spray tower technology. The company's patented technology introduces a multi-pollutant removal process that requires minimal equipment, a relatively small footprint, and only liquid reagents. Its process is considerably less costly in terms of investment and operation than technologies that treat each pollutant separately. In addition, Lextran's process yields a commercial-grade fertilizer as a byproduct. Lextran's technology is suitable for customers such as coal and heavy fuel-fired power plants and industrial installations, diesel power plants, solid waste-management incinerators, and any other combustion plant emitting SOx and NOx. Lextran is a subsidiary of Ludan Engineer.
