THE
SITUATION
Located in the Midwest, a producer
of rockwool insulation used in
the building industry, was required
to comply with new standards
issued under the Clean Air Act.
These standards are the best
available pollution control technologies
to abate identified air pollutants
such as particulate emissions
and volatile organic compound
(VOC) emissions. As part of the
company's manufacturing process,
various particulate emissions
and VOC emissions were produced.
Initially, we provided this manufacturer
with an engineering study, facility
assessment and recommendations
for regulatory compliance.
THE SOLUTION
A complete turnkey solution
was designed, built and installed
including:
- 50,000 cubic feet per minute
pulse jet bag house for the
facility's cupola melt operation,
- 19,000 standard cubic feet
per minute regenerative thermal
oxidizer for a curing oven
and,
- Associated ductwork arrangement.
THE RESULT
Compliance testing of the applicable
regulations has shown that both
systems meet environmental requirements
and our customer's expectations.
The success of this project has
spawned additional opportunities
throughout the United States.
As a result we plan to install "KB
Pacs", a continuous monitoring
system.
