Ethylene Oxide

Ethylene Oxide Emissions Control

Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a vital sterilizing agent used in industries such as medical device manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and food production. However, its highly toxic and carcinogenic properties pose serious health risks to workers, nearby communities, and the environment. Even low-level EtO emissions can contribute to long-term health concerns, making it one of the most heavily regulated industrial compounds globally.

Facilities must address several challenges when managing EtO emissions:

  • Stringent Regulatory Standards: Increasingly strict emissions limits require advanced solutions to ensure compliance.
  • Community Health Concerns: Public awareness and advocacy for cleaner air put added pressure on facilities to reduce emissions rapidly.
  • Operational Efficiency: Balancing compliance efforts with cost-effectiveness and minimal operational disruptions can be difficult, especially for high-volume sterilization processes.

Without effective emissions control systems, industries face the risk of non-compliance, reputational damage, and potential harm to public health and the environment.

How Carus Can Help

Carus’ CARULITE® 500 catalyst is a benchmark solution for the control of ethylene oxide emissions, offering unparalleled efficiency and reliability. Key benefits include:

Greater than 99% Efficiency:

Converts toxic ethylene oxide into carbon dioxide and water with industry-leading performance.

Extended Catalyst Life:

Designed for durability, CARULITE® 500 provides long-lasting performance, minimizing replacement frequency and costs.

Low-Temperature Operation:

Delivers optimal performance at low temperatures, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.

Regulatory Compliance:

Supports facilities in meeting and exceeding stringent emissions standards.

Solutions in Action

  • Exceptional Emission Control: Effectively reduces harmful EtO emissions to protect community health and the environment.
  • Regulatory Confidence: Helps facilities achieve compliance with local, national, and global environmental regulations.
