Fibrant aren ’ t just related to the lifespan of the final products . A smaller outcome of the production process is nitrous oxide ( N2O ), produced via the combustion of ammonia . N2O is currently considered to be 298 times as harmful as carbon dioxide , in terms of Green House Gases ( GHG ,) but Fibrant has engineered multiple solutions , as Olaf details : “ We built in catalytic systems to remove the excess nitrous oxide from our original HSO line , alongside a regenerative thermal oxidizer , which reduces the gas to simply Nitrogen ( N2 ), the major component of our atmosphere . In doing so , we have managed to reduce our total emissions by around 80 percent . Now , if you apply this in terms of a life-cycle analysis of our product , we have managed to halve its carbon footprint – making us not only the industry leader , but also the most environmentallyfriendly caprolactam producer worldwide .”

Fibrant has taken its fight for the future of the environment beyond its own four walls . Earlier this year the company exhibited at the textile industry fair , Performance Days in Munich , educating the downstream value chain on the importance of making

Sitech Our clients maintain their competitive edge with sustainable processes In close cooperation with Fibrant ’ s technology department , Sitech worked on projects to reduce NOx emissions ; replacing an existing unit and a new unit to remove NOx from flue gases . These projects make a significant contribution to CO ₂ reduction targets for the Chemelot site and Fibrant in particular . With sustainability , licence to operate , lifetime extension , and expansion projects as our core business , we combine our extensive expertise , experience and knowledge of the plants and the market for successful projects .
