Air pollution control

The ILK Dresden main department Air Pollution Control develops energy-efficient solutions for air treatment. Key research focuses include:

Our areas of research in air pollution control

Gas and Trace Substance Separation

Focus on reducing industrial emissions, workplace exposure and odorous substances, including ready-to-use solutions, e.g. for the textile industry.

Aerosol Separation

Mitigation of exposure to welding fumes and coolants, alongside compliance with new limit values for carcinogenic substances such as quartz fine dust.

Electrostatic Filtration

Utilization of energy-saving separators with high efficiency for nanoparticles and viruses. Additional effects such as agglomeration and oxidation are being researched to improve indoor air quality.

Renewable Energy

Research focused on industrial applications of biomass utilization, viewing it as a supplementary technology.

Filtering Separators

Optimization of energy efficiency in surface filtration. These systems form a filter cake and are particularly suitable for fine particles, harmful gases and liquids in sectors such as the mining industry and waste incineration plants.

Accredited testing laboratory

Our testing laboratory at ILK Dresden is accredited under DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 for emissions, boilers, and dust collectors—valid for all procedures listed in the accreditation certificate. Notified measurement station pursuant to Section 29b of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG).
