What are the emissions from the Concord Blue ?
The maximum permissible values for the emission of all Concord Blue systems will be within the limits of the very restrictive German law according to TALuft, 4.BImschV and 17.BImschV. Concord Blue plants are among the most environmentally friendly in the world. European technologies must meet strict EU and national standards. Usually with simple filtering systems, a Concord Blue plant easily meets or exceeds environmental standards. No pollutants are created within the Concord Blue system. Of course, as with any process, the output is directly related to the input. Therefore, with some types of input, additional adaptations to the Concord Blue plant and more complex filtering and treating may be necessary, but easily workable. In fact, most organic pollutants (dioxins, furans, etc.) are “cracked” and reformulated in the steam reforming stage. Carbon monoxide gas is an essential part of every gasification plant. However, in the Concord Blue system, the product gas is handled in a manner
