Industrial engineering: flue gas treatment (APC) and Piping & Process Engineering
Studybel is the engineering office that designs and executes industrial flue gas treatment and piping projects. As part of the Boccard Group, an industrial integrator founded in 1918, Studybel is the group’s entry point for the Benelux and its competence centre for flue gas treatment. One group, one banner, serving low-carbon industry.
In flue gas treatment (APC), expertise and technological know-how are brought together at Studybel, which carries forward the know-how of the engineering teams of Hamon Research-Cottrell SA and Hamon Environmental Europe, which grouped Hamon’s flue gas treatment activities in Europe. Projects are addressed commercially, market by market, under the Leroux & Lotz Technologies banner, a sister company within the group, mainly for Waste-to-Energy and biomass. Piping & Process, led by Studybel, is open to all competences and strategic sectors of the Boccard Group, without being limited to a single market.
