Patent ID: RE39313

Claim:
Method for removal and/or destruction of organic substances in contaminated air, characterized in that it comprises the following successive process steps: a. that the air is brought into a streaming condition; b. that the air stream created is brought to change direction at least one time in such a way that solid particles which are entrained in the contaminated air stream are removed; c. that the air stream is being cooled such that water and organic substances being in the vapour phase in the contaminated air are condensed and subsequently removed from the air stream; d. that the air stream is supplied with a secondary flow of air and/or oxygen; e. that the air stream is radiated with ultra-violet light, such that the supplied oxygen forms ozone in situ for oxidizing the organic substances into carbon oxides at a sufficiently low temperature to avoid undesirable radiation byproducts; f. that the air stream continues for a predetermined interval of time; and g. that the air stream is released.
