Odor is often an undesirable side effect in the food processing industry and with food processing facilities located within urban areas, the odor problem is becoming a concern for the population. Odor is complex due to the broad variety of organic compounds contributing to it. Johnson Matthey offers a selection of oxidation catalysts to abate the odors resulting from different food processes such as fish and meat smoking, nut and coffee roasting, and from poultry and dairy processing facilities. Johnson Matthey has developed a large portfolio of oxidation catalysts to efficiently treat emissions from food processing facilities enabling compliance with all clean air regulations regarding odors that result from the food industry.
Johnson Matthey oxidation catalysts efficiently control odor and enable food processing facilities to comply with clean air regulations within populated areas.
Typical Applications
- Meat and fish smoking
- Char broilers
- Coffee and nut roasting
- Breweries
- Poultry and Dairy
- Holding basins
- Air stripping units
- Wastewater treatment systems
In addition to odors, many roasting and smoking processes can create nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. Johnson Matthey’s emission control catalyst portfolio includes precious metal oxidation catalysts, mixed oxide catalysts and DeNOx SCR catalysts to treat NOx and CO emissions for cleaner industry and cleaner air. For long term performance and compliance with all clean air regulations, Johnson Matthey offers catalyst services which include performance and analytical evaluation, spent catalyst reclamation (PGM refining) and on-site assistance.
