Air Pollution Control Equipment and Services
We design our equipment to achieve the highest levels of emission control, while operating economically. We build it to be durable enough to provide years of service with minimum maintenance requirements. And we offer a complete service program to maintain, repair, and upgrade your equipment so that it can continue to comply with emission regulations for years to come.
Wet Electrostatic Precipitators (WESPs), Dry Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs), and Mobile ESP Testing
Dry Electrostatic
Precipitator (ESP) Systems Our electrostatic precipitator
systems generate a corona to electrostatically charge particulate and
remove it from flue gas streams. Each ESP system is designed to provide
effective control of particulate emissions, while saving you money by
minimizing operating costs. A unique needle/plate collection electrode
design uses energy very efficiently, enabling our ESPs to operate economically
at low voltage and current levels. Typical applications include glass
furnaces, cement kilns, coal-fired boilers, wood-fired boilers, and
solid waste incinerators.
Wet Electrostatic
Precipitator (WESP) SystemsWe have developed a wet ESP system
for applications involving sticky or flammable particulate. A washdown
system keeps the ESP internals clean to help prevent fires and maintenance
problems. Our durable wet ESP systems have solved difficult emission
control problems for fiberglass forming and curing ovens, wood dryers,
wood-fired boilers, and steel scarfing processes.
Mobile
ESP Testing Our mobile ESP can be used to study your emission
problem on site and develop an effective solution. This equipment enables
us to analyze your flue gas stream, determine ESP collection efficiencies,
and collect data to size a full-scale wet or dry ESP system for your
application.
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers, RTOs, Mobile RTO Testing
ThermaGrid
RTO Our ThermaGrid regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) systems
use high temperature to destroy VOC emissions within a combustion chamber.
What sets it apart from other RTOs is its economical operation. It uses
gridded ceramic blocks as a heat transfer medium. The gridded ceramic
can handle dirty or particulate-laden gas flows with very little need
for maintenance. ThermaGrid RTO technology has been proven effective
for controlling VOC emissions from wood dryers, paint booths, chemical
and pharmaceutical processing, semiconductor manufacturing, printing
processes, rubber and plastics manufacturing, and aluminum casting operations.
Mobile
RTO Testing We can use one of our mobile RTOs to test emissions
at your facility and demonstrate the effectiveness of our ThermaGrid
technology. Those tests well allow us to gather the data needed to size
a full-scale RTO to solve your VOC problem economically.
Fabric Filters, Baghouses
Fabric
Filter Systems We have the technical expertise to engineer
a fabric filter system with the proper air-to-cloth ratio, can velocity,
and gas distribution to achieve the lowest possible pressure drop and
longest bag life. Our experience with a wide variety of woven and felted
bag fabrics allows us to select one that will be most economical and
effective for your application. Engineering considerations include the
fabric's ability to withstand high temperatures, exposure to acid, and
abrasion.
Acid Gas Control, Spray-Dry Scrubbers, Semi-Dry Scrubbers, Dry Reagent Injection Systems, Mobile Scrubber Testing
Acid
Gas Control Systems Our acid gas control systems use a variety
of chemical reactions to convert acid gas to particulate. We have patented
acid gas treatment and experience controlling acid gases, sulfur oxides,
hydrogen chloride, hydrogen flouride, and boric acid. They are designed
to distribute reagent effectively throughout the scrubbing chamber and
maximize the reaction time for high levels of acid gas removal. We offer
both spray-dry scrubbers and dry reagent injection systems. Typical
applications include glass furnaces, boilers, and incinerators that
burn municipal, hazardous, and medical waste.
Mobile
Scrubber Testing We can test emissions on site and engineer
an acid gas control system for your application. By using our mobile
spray-dry scrubber in conjunction with our mobile ESP, we can demonstrate
the effectiveness of a full-scale air pollution control system.
Auxiliary Equipment: Control Systems, Evaporative Coolers, Recycling Systems, Breeching, Stacks, Dust Suppression Systems
Complete
SystemsWe supply complete air pollution control systems to
solve a combination of particulate, acid gas, and VOC problems. We have
extensive engineering and manufacturing capabilities and provide all
the necessary auxiliary equipment for those systems.
We offer a selection of control systems to meet your operational requirements. Options range from basic controls to our powerful PC-SAM system, which combines a programmable logic controller (PLC) and personal computer (PC). PC-SAM provides simplified control, programming flexibility, and extensive data acquisition capabilities and remote modern control.
We also design and supply the following auxiliary equipment: evaporative coolers, recycling systems, disposal systems, ductwork, breeching, stacks, support structures, platforms and stairways, and Burnely Baffles® dust suppression systems.
Construction
Installation
Service As part of our complete turnkey service, we handle
all the construction work involved with our air pollution control systems.
We have extensive experience with larger air pollution control projects.
Our field engineers and superintendents manage the erection and startup
of all equipment. They can remain on site after the air pollution control
system has been installed to instruct your personnel in starting, testing,
operating, and maintaining the equipment. We can work with you to monitor
the performance of the system, making adjustments and providing service.
Parts and Service, Preventive Maintenance
Complete
Service Program We have a complete service program to repair,
maintain, rebuild, and upgrade air pollution control systems. We can
work with you to make sure that your equipment continues to comply with
emission regulations. Our preventive maintenance program can help you
keep your equipment running by spotting problems before they become
emergencies. When equipment is worn or damaged, we can rebuild it so
that it performs to the original specifications. In many cases, we can
improve an older system's performance by upgrading it with the latest
technology.






Mobile
ESP (Wet or Dry): Using our mobile ESP testing equipment for several
weeks will give you confidence in our ability to solve your emission
problems. We test meaningful amountsapproximately 8,000 actual
cubic feet per minute (acfm). Testing can include separate chemical
and resistivity analyses, as well as computer-aided statistical analysis,
to predict how the full-scale precipitator will perform at conditions
different from those occuring at the time of testing.
ThermaGrid
Mobile RTO: Our mobile unit is a self-contained RTO system capable
of handling a representative amount of your process gas flow (up to
2,000 scfm). It enables us to collect the data necessary to optimize
a full-scale RTO system for your application and to demonstrate that
it will comply with your emission regulations.
Mobile
Scrubber Testing: We can test emissions on site and engineer an
acid gas control system for your application. By using our mobile spray-dry
scrubber in conjunction with our mobile ESP, we can demonstrate the
effectiveness of a full-scale air pollution control system.
