Research in recent years has increasingly spotlighted the role of air pollution as a leading contributor to deaths globally. In fact, State of Global Air went as far as to say, “Air pollution was estimated to be the 4th leading contributor to human deaths in 2019, contributing to approximately 7 million deaths worldwide.” While there […]
Ultra High-Efficiency Filter (UHF®) systems from APC Technologies, Inc. use exclusive technology that provides significant payback for applications involving the use of regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) to control emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). APC has assisted a number of clients who were experiencing issues associated with particulate build-up within their RTOs by adding UHF® […]
Wastewater treatment plants ‘produce’ a cleaned water stream and a dewatered sewage sludge product. To dispose of the sludge, many wastewater treatment facilities employ a sewage sludge incinerator (SSI). The types of SSIs used at wastewater treatment facilities include fluidized bed incinerators and multiple hearth furnaces. USEPA regulates air pollutant emissions from SSIs at wastewater […]
Increasing concern for sustainability and the environment has led to growing focus on the recycling of our planet’s resources. In some cases, the recycling process itself can create new pollution problems, which require effective solutions. As a leading comprehensive solution provider to the scrap metal recycling industry, WENDT Corp. recognized the need for an air […]
APC Technologies (APC) installed multiple Ultra High-Efficiency Filter (UHF®) systems at a large asphalt terminal located in Western Canada. The air pollution control systems were installed to achieve two objectives: Greatly reduce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentrations in the breathing zones of operators, which were at unsafe levels; and Provide oil mist control, particulate control, and […]
Flexible packaging extruder and other process lines commonly emit very fine, white smoke from die and extruder exhaust points, with emissions from vacuum pumps at times as well. Such extruder smoke emissions can build up to potentially unhealthy levels inside the plant if not exhausted outside the plant. If the extruder smoke is simply exhausted […]
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has been identified by the EPA as one of the top five most critical environmental risks to public health. It is estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that most Americans spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Those employed in office jobs spend approximately 40 hours […]
Increasing awareness of the impact airborne contaminants have on human health and the environment has led to a multitude of regulations affecting today’s industrial and commercial operations. To maintain regulatory compliance, businesses are in need of effective and affordable air pollution control products. Unfortunately, most business owners and facility managers do not have the luxury […]
Indoor air quality at manufacturing plants has become an increasingly important topic over recent decades, involving regulatory, worker productivity and retention, and health concerns. Commonly, poor indoor air quality in manufacturing plants originates from production process emissions. Either the production equipment emissions are not controlled at all (i.e., no exhaust system), or the existing exhaust […]
