Waste Gas Treatment in Printing & Packaging
// INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Industry Overview:
The packaging and printing industry utilizes large quantities of solvent-based inks during production. These inks contain 50%–60% volatile components; when combined with the thinners required to adjust ink viscosity, significant amounts of volatile organic compound (VOC) waste gases are emitted during the printing and drying processes. These emissions primarily consist of highly volatile gases such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and non-methane total hydrocarbons. The extensive evaporation of ink not only results in solvent waste but also poses serious risks to workers and the surrounding environment. Consequently, the treatment of waste gas in the printing industry is a critical aspect of environmental management.
