About Us
What distinguishes CTU?
We believe in a future that has a huge demand for ecological and economical waste treatment and energy production solutions. We are at disposal to serve this demand.
Plants designed and implemented by CTU are characterized by the durability, low operating costs and best results. For CTU sustainability means a safe and sound investment into a technology which can achieve excellent emission values for years to come.
CTU does not remain stagnant. The engineers of the CTU strive to push forward new technologies and positively mould the future of environmental technique through continuous research and in close cooperation with its customers.
Using experience of our staff and know-how, a significant added value can often be reached with little effort, e.g. a planned modification of a process plant, often after a long operation, could either increase the precipitation rate of flue gas contents or reduce the energy demand of the system.
Thus, by using new and proven methods such as CFD analysis of flow optimization and / or the optimization of the separation process in a flue gas treatment plant, reduction in operating costs can be achieved.
