ePURO – Der Feinstaubfilter für Holzfeuerungen
ePURO is an electrostatic fine dust separator for effectively reducing flue gas particles in wood burning stoves, but also for wood/pellet central heating systems, up to 50kW. in existing buildings, drastically reducing PM 2.5 particles by up to 95%.
As a renewable resource, wood releases only as much carbon dioxide (CO2) when burning, the same as with the natural decomposition process in the forest, or as much as the tree has stored during its growth process. Wood does not release any additional CO2 when burning
The installation is relatively simple from the start. A 230 V connection needs to be provided on site.
The adaptability of Schiedel ePURO makes it possible to use it on existing steel chimneys. It reduces the fine dust content in the flue gas by up to 95%, which contributes to cleaner air.
Taking local emission regulations into consideration, new and existing stoves can be equipped with the Schiedel ePURO.

The intelligent and sustainable use of sustainable raw materials, such as wood, as a renewable energy source, combined with energy efficiency heating systems helps to meet climate protection requirements and makes a significant contribution to lowering emissions.
The UK government latest data shows that the overall percentage of PM2.5 attributable to the domestic indoor burning of wood fuel has been more than halved to 17% thanks to updated and more accurate wood fuel usage data for the domestic combustion sector.
Installing Ecodesign stoves along with a properly installed, high quality chimney system, which is regularly maintained, reduces primary PM, secondary PM precursors and toxicity.
Stover are not for aesthetic purposes only. People who don’t have a wood burner, automatically assume the purpose if for aesthetics, however, in some cases firing up a stove tends to heat larger rooms far quicker than conventional radiators would.
