Diaphragm compressors (HTC)
Howden Thomassen, drawing on the technology inherited from Howden Burton Corblin, is the group’s reference in diaphragm compressor technology, a solution particularly suited for high-purity, hazardous, toxic or high-value gases, ensuring zero leakage and complete hermetic sealing. This technology covers a wide range of flow rates and pressures and is particularly relevant in hydrogen, specialty […]
PeriFlow® compressors (HTC)
Howden Thomassen, drawing on PeriFlow® technology — a peripheral or low-speed dynamic compressor — offers a particularly competitive compression solution when low to moderate flow rates, high operating pressure and a compact, robust equipment easy to integrate into the plant via its skid design are required. This technology occupies a very well-defined niche among dynamic […]
Recuperative thermal oxidisers
CONTROLLED OXIDATION WITH HEAT RECOVERY TO TREAT CONTINUOUS EMISSIONS AND IMPROVE THE PLANT’S ENERGY EFFICIENCY Recuperative thermal oxidisers are units designed to destroy pollutants through thermal oxidation in a controlled chamber; they incorporate a heat recovery system that improves the overall energy efficiency of the unit and reduces auxiliary fuel consumption. They are used to […]
Direct thermal oxidisers
CONTROLLED OXIDATION SOLUTIONS FOR THE CONTINUOUS TREATMENT OF EMISSIONS, VOCs, BTEX AND PROCESS WASTE GASES Direct thermal oxidisers — also known as DFTOs (direct-fired thermal oxidisers), gas incinerators or afterburners — are devices designed to destroy pollutants through direct thermal oxidation in a controlled combustion chamber. They are used to treat waste gas and liquid […]
Cold vents
FLAMELESS VENTING SYSTEMS FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF WHEN THE PROJECT REQUIRES SAFE DISPERSION WITHOUT INTENTIONAL COMBUSTION Cold vents — also known as vent stacks, cold flares or vent chimneys — are flameless venting systems designed to discharge gases in a controlled manner when the process requires safe release without intentional combustion. At PREMATECNICA, we design and […]
Replacement burners
RETROFIT SOLUTIONS TO RESTORE RELIABILITY, IMPROVE COMBUSTION AND UPGRADE IGNITION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM Replacement burners are a retrofit solution for modernising existing flares without replacing the entire system. Upgrading a flare tip involves replacing the burner with a modernised design, tailored to the plant’s actual operating conditions and incorporating improvements […]
Biogas and biomethane flares
SAFE AND AUTOMATED SOLUTIONS FOR MANAGING BIOGAS AND BIOMETHANE WHEN IT CANNOT BE UTILISED, IS OUT OF SPECIFICATION OR THE PLANT NEEDS OPERATIONAL BACKUP Biogas and biomethane flaring is the most straightforward and safest solution for managing gas when it cannot be used immediately to generate energy, fed into the grid or maintained within normal […]
Ground flares with a concealed flame
SOLUTIONS WITH LOW VISUAL IMPACT, REDUCED RADIATION AND BETTER INTEGRATION INTO THE PLANT WITHOUT A VISIBLE FLAME Ground flares — also known as enclosed flares or concealed flares — are the ideal solution when a project requires the combustion of waste gases with greater environmental control, reducing thermal radiation, flame visibility and the visual impact […]
Elevated flares
ROBUST SOLUTIONS FOR LARGE GAS DISCHARGES WITH A VISIBLE FLAME, HIGH AVAILABILITY AND GROUND-LEVEL RADIATION CONTROL Flare stacks — also known as flare towers or flare stacks — are one of the most common solutions when a plant needs to safely burn large volumes of gas and raise the combustion point in order to reduce […]
