MAJOR WORLDWIDE BRAND CHANGES ITS NAME

Effective October 15, 2026, the Dürr CTS brand will be known as Envanio.

“With the launch of our new brand, we will operate globally under a single, unified name that reflects our dedicated focus on environmental technologies. The name Envanio embodies our mission: Bridging environment and industry,”

comments Dr. Dietmar Bufka, Chief Operations Officer

“Our suppliers and business partners play a vital role in our success. We want to personally inform you of this transition and assure you that our proven and valued collaboration remains unchanged. The introduction of the new brand and name will not result in any significant operational changes to our ongoing collaboration.”

• Existing contracts, agreements—such as terms of purchase, confidentiality agreements, and the supplier code of conduct—remain fully valid.

• All existing contractual obligations, liabilities, and payment processes remain unchanged.

• Points of contact will remain the same.

• Existing approvals, qualifications, projects, and ongoing procurement processes are not affected by the rebranding.

• Company quality, compliance, and procurement standards remain unchanged.

From October 15, 2026, new purchase orders, business documents, and commercial communications will be conducted under the name Envanio.

The introduction of Envanio involves solely the renaming of existing Dürr companies; it does not involve the formation of new legal identities or any change in ownership or legal identity. Commercial register numbers, VAT identification numbers, bank account details, and all other financial master data remain unchanged. Only the corporate names of the respective entities will be updated.

  Just this year Dürr CTS/Envanio significantly expanded its range of applications by becoming the first manufacturer to offer all its regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO) system designs in an electrically-heated version.  For the first time, electric RTO technology can now also be used in industrial applications involving high volumetric flows of up to 120,000 Nm3/h, high pollutant concentrations, and corrosive exhaust gases such as those found in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and automotive industries.

   Reliably purifying solvent-laden exhaust air from painting and coating processes is the core function of regenerative thermal oxidation systems. Most of these systems are heated using fossil fuels (mainly natural gas). Previous electric models were limited to low volumetric flows. Dürr CTS has found a way around this. The company is extending its Oxi.X range – the product line for thermal exhaust air purification systems – by electrifying all RTO designs.

   For the electric design, the company retained the tried-and-tested multi-chamber systems and replacing the gas-powered burner systems with electric heating elements. The basic principle of the thermal process therefore remains the same: minimizing volatile organic compounds (VOC), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and odors in the process air through oxidation, in accordance with legal requirements. The result: the same purification performance, no open flames, and therefore no thermal NOₓ and no operational CO₂ emissions from the operation of the exhaust air purification system.

 More than 5,000 RTO systems have been installed worldwide in the past 30 years, including 600 electric versions of the Oxi.X RV flameless, single-bed exhaust gas purification system.  

   The requirements along industrial production processes vary significantly: volumetric flows and pollutant concentrations in the paint booth are high during surface coating of bodies but drop significantly during the subsequent drying step. The extended RTO range permits the targeted handling of exhaust air flows with different characteristics using the optimal system solution for each application. The tried-and-tested Oxi.X RV remains the right solution for low initial loads, while other series are designed for medium to high throughputs and pollutant requirements such as corrosion, condensation, or dust. In this way, each section of a production line can be designed with the best technology for optimum economy.

    Up to now, electric RTOs have reached their design limits when dealing with corrosive exhaust gases, as metallic heating elements wear out quickly when exposed to aggressive media, such as those found in processes involving halogen compounds. To counteract this, Dürr CTS provides the option of equipping the electric variant with ceramic heating elements. Ceramic materials can withstand even highly corrosive exhaust materials over the long term, ensuring reliable production under challenging conditions.

  In recent years Dürr CTS has responded to growing demand with by two objectives: lowering CO₂ emissions and facilitating independence from gas supplies. Electric RTOs meet both these requirements at the same time, provided the electricity used comes from renewable sources.

In addition, companies can benefit from dynamic electricity rates, especially when combined with their own solar panels and battery storage. For existing systems, Newly installed systems can also be designed to retain the option of switching between gas- and electricity-powered operation in the future – an option that will gain in importance should CO₂ prices continue to rise.
