Waste-to-energy (WTE) plant waste gas treatment
Waste to energy (WTE) plants convert solid waste into electricity and/or heat. However, the combustion of solid waste generates flue gases that contain a variety of pollutants, such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and heavy metals. These pollutants can be harmful to human health and the environment if released into the atmosphere, so it is essential to treat the flue gases ...

Wet scrubbers air pollution control devices
Wet scrubbers are effective air pollution control devices used to remove particulates and/or harmful gases from industrial waste streams. Wet scrubbers operate by introducing a dirty gas stream into the scrubbing liquid (usually water + neutralizing liquid). Particles or gases are collected in the scrubbing liquid. Wet scrubbers are often the most suitable air pollution control equipment for ...

Fight Covid-19 with Symbiosis Air Pollution Control Equipments
Among the manifold health risks of increasing air pollution; one of the most emerging one is the risk of contracting COVID-19. People living and working in high-pollution areas are more likely to have compromised respiratory, cardiac and other systems; and are therefore more vulnerable to COVID-19’s impacts. As particulate matter has the potential to act as carriers for contagion leading to ...

CPI Installs RTO at Flavoring Manufacturer
During the manufacturing of flavor and taste solutions significant emissions of VOCs and odors are released into the environment. While the compounds creating the odors may not be in sufficient concentrations to present a health risk, they can diminish the quality of life for the surrounding community. A Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) was selected as the most effective and cost-efficient ...

How conditions affect cookies and air pollution control solutions
Chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorite treats. Butter, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla, and, of course, chocolate chips. Combine the ingredients together and you get a delicious cookie. Somehow, using the same ingredients the cookies do not always turn out the same. Sometimes they are thinner and crispier. Other times, they are soft and chewy. After watching cooking shows, I have come to ...

Why You Should Keep Your Air Pollution Control Technology Up To Date
Did you know that the first crewed spacecraft to leave Earth's orbit, reach Earth's moon, orbit it, and return safely to Earth (Apollo 8) was launched into space using the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC), which had a real time operating system which enabled the astronauts to enter simple commands to control the spacecraft? The AGC was introduced in 1966 with approximately 64KB of memory, and it ...
