Mobile emission treatment in intermodal freight transport
Safe and uninterrupted operations are essential in the intermodal sector. Within the industry’s complex supply chains, various modes of transport connect seamlessly. Tank trucks, rail tank cars, and tank vessels transport large quantities of fuels, chemicals, solvents, and liquefied gases every day. Processes such as loading, unloading, and product changeovers generate harmful emissions and vapours, while significant amounts of residual gases often remain inside the tanks. These substances must not be released uncontrolled into the atmosphere and therefore need to be properly treated and eliminated.
When stationary emission treatment systems fail, delays occur throughout the supply chain and, in the worst case, entire facilities may come to a standstill. Mobile emission treatment systems provide a fast and flexible solution and can be deployed temporarily at terminals, ports, logistics centers, and loading facilities.
In a blog post, ETS Degassing outlines the challenges faced in intermodal freight transport and provides an overview of the advantages of mobile emission treatment solutions. Learn more: https://ets-degassing.com/en/2026/03/26/degassing-intermodal-transport/
