Ventilation – Inspecting and Testing – Commercial and Industrial Buildings
Inspecting your Ventilation (HVAC) System “HVAC” refers to the system that supplies heating or air conditioning to the occupied spaces of the building—whether office, factory, warehouse or residence (HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning). I want to focus on HVAC systems in commercial buildings. No matter what type of air filtration is used in the system, it ...

Four-way Sanitary Ball Valve Overview
A ball valve is a form of quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball to control flow through it. It is open when the bullet hole is aligned with the flow and closed when it is rotated 90 degrees by the valve handle. The handle is flat when open and perpendicular to it when open, which facilitates visual confirmation of the condition of the valve. The four-way valve or ...

Guide to How Aerosol Particle Counters Work
Abstract Aerosol particle counters are built to rapidly count and size contaminant particles in cleanroom air and other controlled environments. Users tend to see this equipment as simply a device which, when the appropriate button is pressed, absolute results are displayed. However, it is important to be aware of the technology within the instrument in order to understand the relevance of the ...

A Simple Guide to How Aerosol Particle Counters Work
Overview Aerosol particle counters are built to rapidly count and size contaminant particles in cleanroom air and other controlled environments. Users tend to see this as a device where a button is pressed and absolute results tumble out. However, when measuring anything small, it is important to be aware of the technology within the instrument to understand the relevance of the data generated, ...

On-Site Thermal Desorption of PCP- and Dioxin-Contaminated Soil at the Coleman-Evans Wood Preserving Site, Whitehouse, Florida, USA
ABSTRACT Roy F. Weston, Inc. (WESTON®) has designed an indirect thermal desorption process (known as the LT3-HT) to treat solids and sludges contaminated with hazardous and toxic materials. The LT3-HT is a high-temperature, high-capacity thermal desorption system designed for treatment of semivolatile and volatile organic contaminants that require high treatment temperatures. The LT3-HT ...

On the ionization of air for removal of noxious effluvia” (Air ionization of indoor environments for control of volatile and particulate contaminants with nonthermal plasmas generated by dielectric-barrier discharge)
Abstract Recent developments in the application of controllable air ionization processes that apply dielectric-barrier discharge devices to generate nonthermal plasmas have led to applications for chemical and biological decontamination in indoor air environments. These include significant reductions in airborne microbials, neutralization of odors, and reductions of specific volatile organic ...

Addressing your industrial indoor air quality questions
Modular air filtration empowers factory workers to focus on their task at hand — free from indoor air quality (IAQ) concerns and unencumbered by clunky PPE equipment. There’s also the added benefit of keeping OSHA and other compliance watch dogs at bay. But, what are the specific IAQ requirements under OSHA? What bottom-line benefits does industrial air filtration offer OEMs? And ...

Power Plant Asset Transactions Managing Environmental Issues
Deregulation of the electricity industry has spawned unprecedented asset transfer activity among electric generating companies. Many companies are focusing on generation, while a large number of former generating companies are shifting their focus to concentrate on power distribution and communication initiatives. The result is a significant turnover of power plants to new owners as generating ...
