MidCat Puriflue - Solving Woodburning Stove Emissions

MidCat Puriflue - Solving Woodburning Stove Emissions.

Why do I need one, isn’t woodburning already eco-friendly?

Despite wood being a renewable energy source – and widely regarded as carbon neutral – there is increasing awareness and concern about the negative impact of the resultant smoke on air quality.
Wood smoke is made up of many harmful substances – gaseous, liquid and solids – all of which are inhaled and are known to cause health problems, as well as damage to the environment. New legislation which comes into effect from 2022 (The Ecodesign Directive) mandates that stoves burn more cleanly, with large reductions in Carbon Monoxide, Organic Gaseous Compounds and Soot and some manufacturers have embraced CET as a means of achieving these limits.

However, the retrofitting of a MidCat, will significantly reduce the levels of many of these harmful emissions, and it’s fitment to some existing stoves would in many cases meet or exceed the requirements of this new directive.

How does it work?

Designed for retrofitting to existing stoves, The MidCat is a by-passable catalytic converter system, which reduces the environmentally harmful and toxic emissions generated by woodburning. Fitted into the chimney, the catalytic converter is designed as a butterfly valve, enabling it to be rotated in or out of the flue gas, allowing for control of the emissions and draught control when needed.
