Beltran Technologies, Inc. products

Performance: Submicron particulates are emitted at various points in many industrial and chemical process. Conventional scrubbers and other mechanical collectors depend on kinetic forces, requiring high-energy inputs to collect particles smaller than about 2 microns. The light-scattering effect of small particles makes them more visible, and maximum scattering occurs when particle diameter approximates a particular wavelength of light. In assessing the visibility mist plumes, the diameters of the droplets is more important than their concentration. Even a small amount of submicron particulates in a steam plume can produce heavy opacity out of proportion to their concentration in the exhaust.

The Poly-Stage Precipitator provides a practical way to comply with the new pollution control codes, economically - at minimum capital expenditure and minimal operating expense. Future expansions and altering requirements can readily be accommodated.

These multi-stage, tubular-design systems are able to control emissions at the submicron level, including acid mists, submicron particulates and condensed organics. Beltran Wet Electrostatic Precipitators (WESPs) are utilized in various metallurgical processes, such as zinc, lead, gold and molybdenum roasting plants, nickel and copper flash smelters, and sulfuric acid regeneration plants, as well as sulfuric acid mist tail gas cleaning plants. Beltran has over 1,000 installations worldwide.
