Understanding Air Pollution Control System Design Specifications

As the full effect of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments continue to impact today’s industry, many different companies will be required to install new or additional air pollution control equipment. With well over twenty-five years of proven success in a variety of industries, thermal and catalytic oxidation has become a popular method for controlling volatile organic compound (VOC) and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions.

These air pollution control systems destroy h

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers…What You Should Know.

Within industry today, the use of an Air Pollution Control System (APCS) to control harmful air pollutants is not new. In response to Congressional guidelines passed in the 1970’s, a number of companies with VOC emissions have been operating air pollution control systems of one type or another for 25 years or more. These guidelines have been revised and added to as the years progressed, making it necessary for companies in a wide range of industries to meet stringent new local, sta

Air Pollution Control in the Printing and Web Coating Industries

For many U.S. companies in the printing and web coating business, the use of an Air Pollution Control System (APCS) to control harmful air pollutants is not new. In these industries, depending upon their location, companies have been installing APCS since the early 1970`s. However, for some companies the clock is still ticking regarding their compliance with local, state and federal clean air requirements. The need to install adequate emission control and/or upgrade their older

Don’t Let Profits Go Up In Smoke

In today’s competitive economy, few businesses have “money to burn.” For manufacturing companies that installed air pollution control systems more than seven to 10 years ago, though, these older, less efficient systems could literally be “burning money” by operating inefficient electric motors and by allowing large amounts of useable heat energy to be
vented directly out the exhaust stacks. Historically, air pollution control systems had been designed using integrated air-to-air hea

Total Enclosures Capture 100% of a Facility`s Air Pollution

Over the past decade the use of total enclosures to demonstrate and/or maintain capture of printing press emissions has become very popular within both the flexographic and rotogravure printing industries. Operating a printing press within a properly designed and approved total enclosure assures virtually 100% capture of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and/or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) typically present within the printing area. Depending upon the actual design, operating

Catalytic Oxidizers…What You Should Know.

Within the U.S., depending upon specific plant operations, geographic locations, etc., many companies concerned with controlling VOC emissions have been operating air pollution control systems for years. However, due to business expansion, plant modifications or recent changes in EPA guidelines, an increasing number of companies are now finding it necessary to install new emission control systems or upgrade existing equipment with more modern and efficient control technology. With well ove

Air Pollution Control in the Flexographic Printing Industry

A basic review of technologies used, and selection criteria to consider, to successfully control the VOC/HAP emissions exhausted from flexographic printing presses. Within the flexographic printing industry, the use of an Air Pollution Control System (APCS) to control harmful air pollutants is not new. Today, because of business expansion, modifications to plant operations, or changes in regulations, many companies are currently in the process of complying with local, state, and/or federal clean

Wisconsin web offset adds two presses, controls emissions with new oxidizer, cuts utility bills.

Wisconsin Web Offset, LLC (WWO) located in Brookfield, WI is an experienced heat-set and cold web commercial printer. WWO prints retail advertising inserts, catalogs, newspapers and magazines for customers in the Midwest and throughout the country. To handle a steadily increasing business volume, the company added two new printing presses in 2003. While expanding their printing capabilities,WWO would also be using more printing ink and solvent and would therefore potentially be adding to the amo
