In active carbon Steam Recovery Units, the customizing the project to comply with Brazilian regulations and making available post-sales support in Brazil. It provides, with exclusivity, the last generation of vacuum pumps from Japanese company Hori, which needs less maintenance and consumption of electrical energy when compared to the obsolete glycol seal pumps or double screw dry pumps.separation stage of COVs is executed through an adsorption process and liquefaction by absorption.
