Sustainability


Götaverken Miljö is a true Cleantech company, specialising in unique, world-leading products for the cleaning of environ-mentally hazardous emissions and energy recovery. ADIOX® for the removal of dioxin and MercOx for the removal of mercury out of exhaust gases are successful flagship products.

The positive environmental effect of our products and their use by our customers is considerably much greater than the negative impact of our business travel and of our production and supply of products and services. Our operations therefore make a very large net contribution to the creation of a sustainable society.

The positive effects of our commercial products can be summarised as follows:

  • The removal of dioxins from gas and liquids with ADIOX® and the elimination of residual products reduce the amount of strong carcinogenic substances in our environment. Scrubber at SYSAV, Malmö, Sweden.
  • The removal of acidic gas components - HCl, SO2, HF- with our multistage scrubbing units with neutralisation before output of bleed water to a recipient, reduces the acidification of the environment.
  • The removal of heavy metals such as Hg, Cd etc. with our multistage scrubbing units for the safe deposit of concentrated residual products, reduces the presence of toxins/nerve toxins in the environment.
  • Energy recovery with our condensation scrubbing units generates large incomes from the supply of heat and reduces the environmental burden from the replaced energy production.
  • Our service and maintenance operations prolong the lifetime of production facilities and increase their availability, which reduce costs and the use of limited resources.

The negative effects of our operations are considerable lower than the positive effects, and arise from

  • the production of materials, components and additives and the use of energy and other resources for design, construction and operation of our commercial products,
  • business travel and the transport of materials and products.

To be able, at all times, to fulfil the expectations of our customers and others around us in terms of environmental improvements and energy recovery is a appreciated spur for us. Our aim is therefore to develop even more climate-smart and energy efficient products, also further reducing the negative climate impact of our operations. Supplying in the promised timescale, and delivering facilities and services of good quality have been and are important for the thrust shown in us by our customers. As employees of Götaverken Miljö, we feel very proud to be contributing to this work.
