Product Name: Charbroiler emissions

Product Description

Now that regulations are in place to control many primary sources of air pollution, government agencies are taking action on other major sources of air pollution.

Restaurant charbroilers, used for cooking meat, are one such source. The charbroiling process releases large amounts of hydrocarbons (HCs) in the form of smoke and gases. Smoke and gas emissions from restaurant broilers emit particulates and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — both of which are linked to respiratory and cardiovascular disease. 

As a leading manufacturer of catalytic technologies, Engelhard leveraged our expertise to develop the CHARCat™ charbroiler catalysts, which control the smoke and gases from charbroilers.

The charbroiling process releases large amounts of organic compounds in the form of smoke and gases. Normally temperatures over 1500°F are required to completely burn these compounds. CHARCat catalysts allow for the destruction of these compounds at much lower temperatures.

The result may be a catalyst that cleans a car's exhaust or a pigment that gives eye shadow its pearlescent sheen. Either outcome is made possible by the very same capabilities in materials science and surface chemistry.
