Hi All - bit of an environmental question I know! We are currently exceeding our permited PPM of VOC emissions, the local council is being very patient (for now) with us. I have looked at several options and have received various contrasting advice from several VOC abatement solution companies. We do not have the budget for Regenerative Thermal Oxidization or any other large plant solutions that burn off the waste. We are only just over our PPM limmit by double ish. Has anyone got any experience of carbon filters / carbon beds? Do they work? can you recdcomend any good companies? Im in the Midlands. Any other options available??? Thanks, in advance

Many years ago I worked for a company is a similar position. The LA were understanding (or was it complacent?). However the EA got wind (pun intended) and quickly threatened prosecution.

Without knowledge of the process, difficult to offer solutions other than to suggest getting a consultant in with specialist knowledge and perhaps look at the efficiency of the process rather than means of abatement?
