Many businesses require an industrial air purification system, from those in the food industry to landfills and auto paint shops. While the air pollution may not be visible, it is there nonetheless. Invisible gases, as well as particulates, can escape during the manufacturing process. In order to meet EPA regulations, your facility may need to install a pollution control system.
Among the most effective industrial air purification systems are those that use fiberbed mist collectors. These systems can remove particles less than one micron in size, or more than 99% of particulates. That far exceeds all existing and proposed OSHA regulations. Moreover, these systems are energy efficient and require very little maintenance.
However, if your business produces large amounts of hard dust or tar, such as at an asphalt facility, you’ll also need to have a prefilter. A prefilter will catch rock dust, oil, and other large particulates before they clog the fiberbed mist collector.
If your industry produces VOCs, hazardous air pollutants, or extremely smelly emissions, a thermal oxidizer may also be necessary. This system super-heats the emissions, causing them to oxidize into harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor. A catalytic oxidizer performs the same function, but with far less heat. Choosing a catalytic oxidizer over a thermal oxidizer reduces the energy cost of running the system.
Modern technology has virtually eliminated industrial air pollution in the United States, leading to a much cleaner environment.
