For decades, manufacturers around the world have relied on regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) systems to control air emissions. Traditionally used for the destruction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor reduction, RTOs operate at approximately 1,500°F, delivering high thermal…
Engine Testing and Certification: Managing Emissions and Ensuring Compliance
Engine testing and certification are critical stages in any automotive R&D process. These activities not only confirm the performance, reliability, and durability of engines but also ensure compliance with stringent EPA…
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, perfection isn’t a luxury, it’s a requirement. Whether a product improves a patient’s quality of life or saves lives outright, it’s the result of years, often over a decade, of meticulous development, testing, and clinical trials….
Can you believe Y2K and the fears surrounding it happened two full decades ago? The world has changed, the consumer has changed, and the sales process has changed—could you imagine today’s landscape back then? The market moves faster. The…
Understanding Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Emissions Control
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) as “any compound of carbon that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions.” This definition excludes carbon monoxide, carbonic acid, ammonium carbonate, metallic…
Pollution Control Equipment Maintenance for Manufacturing Facilities
Pollution control equipment is essential in the manufacturing industry. Facilities that emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) must adhere to strict air quality guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). VOCs are released…
Optimizing Pollution Control Equipment for Your Manufacturing Facility
Installing, operating, and maintaining pollution control equipment requires a customized approach for each manufacturing facility. Factors such as production processes, VOC levels, and plant size determine the type of equipment needed to…
Turn Your Air Pollution Control System into a Competitive Advantage
When you think about your air pollution control system, it’s probably seen as a cost of compliance—necessary to avoid fines and lawsuits. Many companies approach it the same way they…
Large manufacturers must adhere to strict emission limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Clean Air Act. In order to meet these standards, some plants must reduce the number of harmful chemicals used during the production…
Monitoring Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in Manufacturing
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are released when harmful chemicals vaporize at room temperature. Large manufacturing plants that use solvents or toxic chemicals can emit dangerous levels of VOCs into the air. These compounds…
