CR Clean Air Group, LLC applications
The Clean Air Group, LLC has designed gas cleaning equipment for rocket engine emissions for the Mercury and Apollo space mission programs as well as for Polaris and ICBM rocket fuel destruction. During the 1980’s, the Company was the sole source for the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program to simulate outerspace using our Process Vacuum and Air Pollution control technology.
Grain handling and/or processing operations have the potential to release particulate that can be effectively removed with venturi scrubbers. Fermentation of corn to generate ethanol also releases fugitive emissions that can be scrubbed with counter-current packed towers.
Where molded plastic parts or vinyl fabrics are produced, scrubbers are used to capture the sub-micron fumes produced in the heating process. Also, scrubbers are commonly used to treat metal treating off-gases for removal of acid gases and/or fine mists.
Renewable fuels and alternative energy has looked too wet scrubbing to control acid gasses and particulates for an even greener technology.
The fundamental ingredient in concrete is portland cement. The cement manufacturing process requires a great deal of energy to heat the mixture of raw materials in a cement kiln. The main source of toxic emissions from a portland cement plant is the kiln. The treatment of kiln exhaust is similar to most incinerators processes. Scrubbers are the best choices for control of acid gases, fine particulate, heavy metals as well as dioxin and furans. The MACT II regulations, yet to be finalized, for cement kilns are expected to limit emissions similarly to those for Hazardous Waste Incinerators with only slightly less stringent requirements for some of the specific contaminants.
The chemical process industry has been the Clean Air Group, LLC primary market since the Company’s inception in 1917. Our experience with a multitude of chemicals and processes is the foundation of the Clean Air Group, LLC expertise in wet scrubbing. Clean Air Group, LLC broad experience runs from the treatment or relatively simple acid gases to exotic and severely toxic substances including NaCN, HCN, Phosgene and Arsine.
The semi-conductor, circuit board and electronics industry have multiple applications for air pollution control equipment from the control of cleaning solvents and acid gas to the capture of particulate matter.
The chemical industry is answering homeland security and EPA concerns for the mass release of toxic, hazardous gasses by employing large stand-alone, ever ready Emergency Vent Scrubbers employing integrated multi-stage scrubbing schemes. The Clean Group, LLC has several multimillion-dollar EVS systems installed for HCl, Cl2, & TCS.
Ammoniated compounds, fluoride gases and organic acids created as submicron fumes require scrubbers for effective control.
The manufacture of fiber optics involves the integration of various metal compounds to assist with the refraction of light within the fiber. Production of fiber optics create gaseous and sub-micron particulate emissions that are extremely valuable to recapture. A major fiber optic manufacturer has purchased multiple scrubber systems from the Clean Air Group, LLC to not only meet air emission standards but to capture this valuable product. Not only has the Clean Air Group, LLC APC system reduced the customer’s emissions to bring them into regulatory compliance, but the high removal efficiency (99%) of the precious metals has paid for the system.
