Bespoke catalytic converters
Whitebeam designs and supplies bespoke catalytic converters to appliance manufacturers worldwide. Fumes emitted by ovens include particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, which are often responsible for cooking odours. In addition, pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens can produce intense fumes during the cleaning cycle.
Catalytic converters are fitted to ventless gas fires in order to oxidise carbon monoxide, whilst the main purpose of a catalytic converter in a wood-burning stove is to oxidise particulate matter, as well as hydrocarbons and tar compounds.
Catalytic converters can be based on ceramic or metallic substrates and can be supplied in a variety of shapes, sizes and cell densities. Whitebeam can develop specialist catalytic coatings to achieve targets for fume reduction at an affordable price.
