Environmental Impact
Less waste is achieved through greater process optimisation and control because of:
- fewer side reactions
- less losses through unnecessary changeovers and cleandown
- less out-of-spec product
The result is higher yield of product.
The smaller plant footprint requires less factory accommodation and equipment. Operational running and utility costs are lower thus resulting in additional savings.
Emissions from the COBR are hundreds times lower than those from traditional stirred tank reactors.
Typical NOx emissions in the production of a photochemical for both STR and COBR.
