What are volatile organic compounds and how to deal with them?

Legal analysis: VOCs refer to volatile organic compounds, which can be divided into alkanes, aromatics, esters, aldehydes and others. The most common are benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, trichloroethylene, chloroform, trichloroethane, diisocyanate (TDI), diisocyanotoluene ester, etc. Because VOCs are flammable, explosive and irritating, they will have an impact on human body. Therefore, enterprises involved in industrial emission of volatile organic compounds are subject to strict emission control.

The process of VOCs whole-process solution includes: VOCs pollution discharge link investigation, VOCs monitoring system and total amount estimation, VOCs whole-process treatment scheme preparation (one plant, one scheme), source control measures in production process, customized terminal VOCs treatment technical scheme, treatment effect evaluation and emission reduction evaluation. Among them, pollution link investigation and whole process control are the key to VOCs remediation in industrial enterprises. Through on-site investigation of pollution links such as storage tank, loading and unloading, equipment leakage, process waste gas, unorganized discharge, wastewater collection and treatment system, cooling water, combustion waste gas, accident discharge, etc., the pollution links are investigated one by one, and the whole process of VOCs is combed from source to end, so as to control VOCs pollution in the whole process.
