End of Pipe Control
End-of-pipe technologies are measures deployed to decrease or eliminate the emission of substances into the atmosphere that can harm human health or the environment. The term “end-of-pipe solution” describes a pollution control approach that remediates contaminated flows of air just before the effluent can enter the environment.
These technologies were first applied when the Clean Air Act was initiated in the s. In the ensuing decades, they have been continually updated to keep pace with increasingly strict environmental regulations, such as those mandated by the BACT (Best Available Control Technology) standard of the Clean Air Act. BACT requires the producers of airborne emissions to take all practical steps to prevent the release of pollutants, taking into consideration energy consumption, environmental impacts, and economic costs.
NESTEC’s “Smart Solutions for Clean Air” is always less costly than traditional end of-pipe solutions because it prevents and/or minimizes the creation of air contaminants at the source, long before the end-of-the-pipe.
To address the public health and welfare risks posed by certain widespread air pollutants, the Clean

European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform (ESPP) organised in Brussels the working meeting “Defining “Bio-Based Fertilisers” and FPR “solely biological origin” with over registered participants, most of them online. Around 30 persons participated in the room, among them from Sweden Nicola Parfitt (Sanitation) and Håkan Jönsson (SLU). The ESPP seems to be the main speaking partner of the commission concerning biobased fertilisers and thus ESPP events are important.
The working meeting was named “Defining “Bio-Based Fertilisers” and FPR “solely biological origin” . The purpose of the meeting was to reconcile the requirement in the fertiliser product regulation (FPR) that the product fertiliser category (PFC) organic fertiliser should only contain carbon and nutrients of “solely biological origin” with the definitions and calculation of the biobased fraction calculated as given in the standard EN This proved not possible, as the commission does not have the mandate to change the definition of organic fertiliser given in the FPR. However, the commission is mandated to give the requirements on the label desc
Value proposition
CapsolEoP® (End-of-Pipe) is a standalone, retrofit, carbon capture technology with a patented energy recirculation process which offers low capture cost and the flexibility to monetise heat and electricity in the capture process.
What makes the CapsolEoP® solution superior CapsolEoP® does not need external heat supply
- CapsolEoP® can run on electricity only
- Amine-based technologies require significant amount of heat. This amount of heat is often not available from the host plant and requires investment in a separate steam generation which increases the energy costs
CapsolEoP® is a stand-alone system that uses the HPC (hot potassium carbonate) solvent
- CapsolEoP® can be installed without impacting uptime or production
- HPC is safe, environmentally friendly and widely available at low cost
CapsolEoP® produces usable heat
- CapsolEoP® works as a heat pump, producing heat at usable temperatures
- The heat can be used efficiently to run the carbon capture process. Surplus high grade heat can be delivered to a district heating system or other use.
