The detrimental impact of industrialization to air quality in the United States went unchecked through federal legislation for most of the first half of the 20th Century. But following the 1948 industrial catastrophe in Donora, Pennsylvania – where a cloud of smog killed 20 and injured thousands – regulation of air quality came storming into the public consciousness. The legal response gave birth the Air Pollution Control Act of 1955, the first steps in federal regulation of air quality. The first Clean Air Act of 1963 and the Air Quality Act of 1967 followed it...
With the rise of passive energy technologies, companies formerly using huge amounts of energy and barely controlling emissions are quickly becoming the major players in efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Following the purchase of a thermal oxidizer unit, the owner may believe themselves in the clear for emissions standards regarding VOCs. And for the most part, that manufacturer would be right. With VOC destructive capability hovering between 95-99 percent, only the largest users worldwide would need to worry about compliances with tolerances that strict. For the most part, the work of the thermal oxidizing equipment fitted with automatic controls would very nearly take care of compliance and abatement needs. But the keeping with scheduled thermal oxidizing equipment repair and maintenance is the only way any engineer...
One of the means to abating nitrogen oxides (NOx) from flue gas as a result of steam generation in commercial boilers includes selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Simply, SCR is a mix of an ammonia source – typically anhydrous ammonia or aqueous ammonia – with a flue gas as it enters an SCR chamber before descending over a catalyst bed where the nitrogen oxides react with the ammonia to form nitrogen and water before exiting the chamber harmless. In this fashion, many energy producers from traditional steam generators to bio-mass energy stations are made compliant with pollution standards by use of this precision pollution control equipment. But how is it done in detail? For those interested...
Economic realities and start-up expense can lead some companies to look for less capital intensive solutions when it comes to installation of a thermal oxidizer for control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Direct fired thermal oxidizers – also known as afterburners – represent the introductory technology...
After some years of service operating at heats approaching 1,000-degrees Celsius, a thermal oxidizer may see the wear and tear to pull it out of commission. And if not for routine maintenance with specific thermal oxidizer parts and expert repairs, that constant work at high temperatures would mean a permanent loss for any owner of an oxidizer for emission controls. In order avoid lasting damage to that critical pollution abatement, a long-term maintenance scheme should be instituted starting with the design and installation of the device and extend throughout its industrial life before being quietly decommissioned decades later. With the right repair technicians and planning...
The installation of any pollution control solution, or the repair of current pollution controls, relies strictly on the experience and knowledge of the firm involved. From the design and integration, to delivery, software and training – all the steps are equally important and fraught with potential for mistakes.

In all, choosing wrong can cost and cost big...
The use of selective catalytic reduction – also known as SCR systems – has been in use for decades to remove nitrogen oxides (NOx) from industrial exhaust. Any of these NOx chemicals released into the atmosphere will combine with other elements as a primary component of smog and acid rain. The use of SCR systems creates a chemical reaction to industrial exhaust, combining it with ammonia before passing it over a catalyst and heat to form harmless water vapor and nitrogen. This selective catalytic reduction process can destroy up to 99 percent of NOx chemicals in industrial exhaust...
