history
International Fiberglass S.A. has taken over the air pollution control processes engineering activities from Donau Carbon GmbH, former Lurgi Aktivkohle GmbH. The name of the new organisation in charge of air pollution control processes is Carbon Process & Plant Engineering S.A. (CPPE) and the company is located in Luxembourg.
CPPE is a specialist technology provider of air pollution control processes (turn-key plants) for the removal of sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxides. CPPE is engineering several air pollution control processes amongst them the Kombisorbon® and Sulfacid® process, which may perfectly suit your needs. Our air pollution control processes are already in use at major companies all around the world. We have more than 3.500 referenced applications.
