Auburn applications
From the crushing stage, through the clarification and calcination process, to anode baking, electrolytic reduction, smelting, casting, rolling, and coating processes, Auburn FilterSense provides filtration improvement and compliance solutions for the Aluminum Industry. US-EPA Secondary Aluminum MACT regulation requires continuous particulate monitoring of fabric filter baghouses and other parametric monitoring. Auburn FilterSense has the products, services, knowledge, and experience to deliver unmatched solutions for Aluminum MACT compliance.
The development of Auburn FilterSense’s unique and field proven particulate sensing technology has its origins in the carbon black industry of the 1990’s. The very first field trial of Auburn FilterSense’s induction particulate sensing method was in the outlet of a baghouse on a carbon black processing plant. While carbon black remains a challenging application due to the tenacious adherence and highly conductive nature of the material, Auburn FilterSense particulate monitors have proven to be the most reliable technology available for carbon black applications, including paint/pigment, reinforcement, tire, absorbent, and printer toner applications.Today, Auburn FilterSense is providing carbon black facilities with reliable instruments, intelligent controls, and regulatory compliance consultation to reduce emissions, minimize emergency downtime, and increase plant profitability.
Auburn FilterSense provides a comprehensive range of products and services for the Cement industry, including solutions for Portland Cement MACT compliance and cement kilns burning hazardous waste. Auburn FilterSense baghouse controls and IntelliPULSE™ filter pressure cleaning technology are applied to fabric filters of all sizes, from small pulse jet collectors to large multi-compartment kiln gas cleaning systems. Multi-compartment Fabric Filter Optimization and Management Systems are designed for preventive control of large-scale particulate filtration processes to meet emissions targets, reduce emergency maintenance outages, eliminate Method 22 visual inspections, and increase product yield.
The chemical industry requires dependable, accurate instruments and controls with the latest smart technologies and communications. It is for good reason that reliability engineers at the largest chemical company in the world specify Auburn FilterSense B-PACs™ (Baghouse Performance Analyzer & Controllers). Auburn FilterSense solutions optimize chemical filtration processes, while reducing operating costs and assuring US-EPA compliance. Advanced sensor, process, and system self-checks eliminate manual instrument calibrations and meet NAMUR NE43/NE107 standards.
Auburn FilterSense’s extensive experience with the food and dairy industry includes powdered milk, grain processing, and all types of dry food production plants. Auburn FilterSense has become the preferred supplier of particulate monitors due to the fact that DynaCHARGE™ charge sensing technology is immune to sensor fouling caused by the presence of moisture, which causes measurement errors with opacity monitors and traditional triboelectric products.
Auburn FilterSense’s robust and easy-to-use instruments, control systems, and software are all ideally suited for foundry applications. From the furnace to the finished casting process, Auburn FilterSense provides field-proven solutions to ensure that foundries are compliant to US-EPA Iron and Steel Foundry MACT regulations. Auburn FilterSense particulate monitors with automatic self-checks andFilterWare™ HMI/SCADA software provide a turnkey solution compliant to CFR 40 data logging and record keeping of fabric filter leaks and corrective actions rules. Baghouse Control solutions reduce operation and maintenance costs, eliminate emergency downtime and increase operational efficiency. Sales, engineering, and systems integration personnel provide comprehensive EPA MACT and other regulatory consultation.
Auburn FilterSense provides reliable particulate monitoring and fabric filter control solutions to many types of incineration facilities, including trash burning, medical waste, crematory, and process incineration. High process temperatures are an easy challenge for Auburn FilterSense particulate sensors, as they are uniquely passive and thus free of electronics. For stack compliance and US-EPA PS 11, Auburn FilterSense offers PM CEMS utilizing advanced low level signal analysis, and high speed signal processing – immune to process noise and vibration.
Auburn FilterSense has a strong partnership with the minerals and mining industry based on a successful and extensive installation base. With dust collection and ambient air quality a top concern, the minerals industry has looked to Auburn FilterSense to deliver solutions with added value and a quick return on investment. B-PAC™ Controls installed on dust collectors provide dramatic energy savings, maintenance reductions, and emissions control while the use of Auburn FilterWARE™ HMI/SCADA software automates the creation of US-EPA and other regulatory repo.
Auburn FilterSense particulate monitors are virtually an industry standard device for integral fluid-bed fabric filter systems in the pharmaceutical industry. These monitors provide critical real-time filter efficiency monitoring and early warning leak detection to maximize product recovery of high-value powders and to provide essential protection against biohazard emissions. Auburn FilterSense particulate monitors have become the industry’s preferred product with wide-scale specification by OEMs, engineers, and end users. Automatic sensor, process and system self-checks eliminate manual instrument calibrations and meet NAMUR NE43/NE107 standard.
Without the Power Industry, all other Industrial sectors would not exist. As developing economies expand their power generation abilities to meet growing demand, developed economies are challenged with aging infrastructure, outdated technologies, and increased legislation regarding emission levels and monitoring techniques. Today, Auburn FilterSense is a leading supplier of continuous particulate monitoring systems and automated controls for boiler baghouses in coal and trash burning plants. B-PAC™ fabric filter diagnostics reduce emergency downtime, while minimizing compressed air consumption and filter replacement costs. Auburn FilterSense has the proven products and experience to help the power industry meet Boiler MACT requirements while improving baghouse maintenance manage.
