Pesticide separator based on activated carbon

Creabeton Materiaux

How would you describe your solution in a few words?

Plant protection products (PPPs) are used on agricultural land. Sprayers and containers with PPPs have to be cleaned regularly. Through our pesticide separator, a technical solution with granulated activated carbon was developed against the punctual input by wash water residues from the cleaning of sprayers and containers.
