THREE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS FOR PLASTICIZER APPLICATIONS The plasticizer industry is wide and includes many different applications, such as PVC wallcoverings, PVC flooring, PVC fences, etc. One of the main problems of the plasticizer industry is the emission of sub-micron mists (DOP). How can AWS help with the removal of these pollutants? In this article you will find three different cases of plasticizer industries that relied on AWS FiberwindTM candles and AWS FiberwindTM complete plant as the best solution for the complete removal of sub-micron mists and other pollutants referred to...

AWS RELIABLE SOLUTIONS FOR SULPHONATION PLANTS Organic sulfates and sulfonates are industrially manufactured by reacting organic compounds with diluted gaseous SO3. The reaction is called sulfation or sulfonation depending on the functional group created in the reaction product. The products of sulphonation plants find prominent application as cleaning and foaming agents in detergents, as well as wetting and emulsifying agents in dyes, pigments, medicines, pesticides, etc. The production of these chemicals inevitably involves the production of emissions and that’s where AWS can help with...

TURBINE & COMPRESSORS LOV LD2500 AWS LOV oil mist separator is designed to remove oil mist originated in the lubricating systems of compressors. The principle of performance is based on Brownian diffusion, which is higher when mist particles are smaller (i.e., their real size is below 1 micron). Usually, the particle size distribution in lube oil mist applications is in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 micron. Every LOV oil mist separator is tailor-made and all the systems ensure the removal of visible plume and constant low pressure drop throughout the system. In this article we introduce one...

AWS RELIABLE SOLUTIONS FOR CHLORINE APPLICATIONS The chlor-alkali industry produces basic commodity inorganic chemicals which are supplied to a wide range of final production industries, such as PVC manufacturing, sulphonation industries, textiles, pulp & paper and so on. The production of these inorganic chemicals inevitably involves the production of emissions and that’s where AWS can help with its reliable and cost-saving solutions. In this article you will find three different cases of chlor-alkali industries that relied on AWS FiberwindTM candles as the best solution for their...

5 years already passed since our WESP got installed in an incinerator (Sisteron, FRANCE). We rediscovered the related article, published by “Entre2sites” on March 2015, and we are glad the system is successfully working since then!The plant has been installed after the fire swept through the old electrofilter. AWS proposed its project after detailed studies, selecting the most suitable materials for the specific situation. Our customer chose our WET ESP for different reasons: Environmental: The wet ESP is the best solution to reduce emissions, dust, pollutants…find out all the features...

HOW TO SEPARATE LUBE OIL MIST? THREE CASE HISTORIES FOR OIL MIST REMOVAL – TURBINE & COMPRESSOR SECTOR AWS can contribute to the solution of many pollution control problems caused by oil mist. The lubricated rotating parts of all gas and steam turbines, turbo compressors and vacuum pumps generate a visible oil plume which is to be removed from the air vented to atmosphere. The installation of a simple but effective mist eliminator on the lube oil vent solves the pollution problem and, by recovering the expensive oil, pays off the mist eliminator cost in a short period of time. In this...

Industries working in the Sulphuric acid sector need to cope with different issues regarding pollution control, plant maintenance, visible emissions, and so on.In the article you will find 3 cases of different Companies that contacted us for the supply of FiberwindTM mist eliminators, Co-knitted meshpads and a Jet Venturi scrubber.

ZERO EMISSION PHILOSOPHY Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP) dedusting for AN/CAN based fertilizer plant A CASE HISTORY Many industries may be required to reduce the amount of dust they release into the environment.  These requirements typically depend on application field, location of plants, type and quantity of dust. The New project for a new CAN/AN/AS universal granulator of a fertilizers plant was conditionally approved by Czech state authorities in 2013. The outlet dust & ammonia limits were strictly set by environment Authority and no water discharges were admitted, even...

The objective of our customer is the removal of SO3 moisture coming out of a dry-colouring production plant.

We are glad to introduce a new product of the AWS FiberwindTM family: the GX high-performance mist eliminator. This special candle filter combines different layers that facilitates drainage of the liquid collected. Thanks to the different technical feature of each layer, the GX filter ensure an excellent reduction of the pressure drop, at least 30% lower than the conventional elements. Guaranteed 99% mist removal at design inlet mist loading for most applications. As a result, an existing plant may use fewer filter elements at the same pressure drop. New installation can benefit from lower...
