INDUSTRY

APPLICATION

Vent Systems

Oleum Vent 

Oleum is produced or transferred in the manufacturing of sulfuric acid. Any free SO3 in the vent from the storage tank needs to be converted to sulfuric acid mist and removed before discharge to the atmosphere.

Indoor Organic Mists 

Any organic liquid that has been heated and rapidly shock-cooled can generate fine sub-micron droplets. These small mist particles create a "blue plume" because of the refraction of light waves off the sub-micron organic particles. Manufacturing processes such as plastics extrusion, injection molding, curing ovens, calendering, or any basic vinyl processing operation that involves high temperatures to work plasticized polymers can generate the sub-micron organic droplets.

Because OSHA and NIOSH are being more stringent regarding emission limits, it is critical to address these applications. Removal of the sub-micron droplets is accomplished with FLEXIFIBER® mist eliminators. These skid-mounted mist eliminator systems can be supplied complete with blowers, pre-filters, piping, and instrumentation.
