Design of Airs Cleaning Systems
Creating Effective Air Cleaning Systems
A Thoughtful Design Approach: AmerAir International is your partner in crafting efficient air pollution and odor control systems. Our design process is meticulous, focusing on reducing and eliminating potential pollutants from both new and existing regulated sites.
Steps in Our Design Method:
- Understanding Processes: We analyze processes and measure pollutants to pinpoint sources.
- Smart Management: Our strategies manage pollutants with precision.
- Control Techniques: We explore various techniques to effectively control pollution and odors.
- Detailed Design: Our designs cover every aspect, from instrumentation to engineering.
- Real-world Examples: We provide practical design samples to aid understanding.
Preventive Control Measures
The greatest opportunity for any pollution prevention (including odor) arises during the early stages of project inception. As the project progresses through the various stages of route selection, design and build, the options available to reduce pollution become fewer.
It is therefore essential that the applicant considers and addresses all relevant environmental issues as early as possible within the design process.
In new plants, preventive control measures, in-plant segregated waste stream treatment and/or process-integrated measures can be effectively taken into account in the design stage of the plant.
For existing plants, retrofitting to existing installations and infrastructure will generally be more expensive and may involve technical and organizational constraints.
There are three basic approaches for resolving air pollution: Firstly, modifying the emission quality and pattern by dilution, high stack, intermediate operation, and moving the source; Secondly, elimination of the source of pollution by modifying the process and changing the consumed materials; and Lastly utilizing APC systems such as scrubber, baghouse and incinerator to lower the pollutants to acceptable standards. Based on the source and substance of pollution, various control techniques may be applied.
Fugitive & Diffuse Emissions
- Management and control
- Containment and capture
- Dilution
- Neutralizers and masking agents
Ducted & Point Source Emissions
- Biological treatment
- Incineration
- Adsorption
- Dry chemical scrubbing
- Absorption – wet chemical scrubbing
Open Systems
- Landfill
- Composting
- Land spreading
- Coating
Early Prevention and Project Phases: Our priority is early pollution prevention. When projects advance, options to reduce pollution become limited. Addressing environmental concerns during the initial design stages is pivotal.
Effective Measures for New Plants: In new facilities, we implement preventive measures such as segregated waste treatment and integrated strategies within the plant’s design. This proactive approach sets the stage for long-term pollution prevention.
Challenges in Retrofitting Existing Plants: Adapting solutions to existing infrastructure in established facilities can be more intricate and costly. Technical and organizational factors play a role.
Resolving Pollution Challenges: Our solutions offer three primary pathways to tackle air pollution:
- Emission Enhancement: Adjusting emission patterns using techniques like dilution, high stacks, and optimized operation schedules.
- Process Refinement: Changing processes and materials to eliminate pollution sources.
- Leveraging APC Systems: Employing advanced systems such as scrubbers, baghouses, and incinerators to bring pollutants to acceptable levels.
Tailored Approaches for Cleaner Air: The choice of control technique depends on pollution source and characteristics. We tailor our solutions to address unique challenges, ensuring efficient pollution control and improved air quality.
In summary, AmerAir International’s air cleaning system design delivers cleaner environments. Through foresight, expert designs, and effective control techniques, we contribute to a healthier and cleaner future.
