Dedusting with self-cleaning bag filter and VOCs abatement with activated carbon filter
The customer is an important Italian company that deals with the production of high quality paints to be used for road marking. The company is able to offer a wide range of products in various sectors and is specialized in the production of methacrylates and thermo-sprayed products.
The production of these materials involves the emission of powders of calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide and VOC’s that are dangerous for the operators and the surrounding environment.
The customer company also had an obsolete system that did not meet the needs of the production system and that did not comply with current regulations. Tecnosida® was contacted to solve this problem and to design a system to be applied to the tints’ production area. Given the nature of the compounds, it must be manufactured in compliance with the European ATEX directive in order to be used in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Tecnosida®, after an adequate technical inspection , designs a suction system able to significantly reduce the dust and VOCs emissions (calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide) created by the productive process.
The aspiration system is composed of:
As we have seen, the system, together with all its components, has been designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is equipped with:
The customer is an Italian company that operates in the construction and marketing of machines and plants for production of aggregates. The company is composed of several departments, among which there is also a spray painting room where products such as varnishes and solvents are used. An environmental survey carried out by special bodies in this production department, has detected a high concentration of VOCs resulting from the painting process.
Given the particularity of the situation, Tecnosida®, following an appropriate technical inspection, proposed the construction of a front-mounted intake cabin able to respond to our customer’s needs. It is made of galvanized sheet metal and consists of a suction front wall made of special honeycomb cardboard. This particular structure allows the suction of pollutants deriving from painting operations, thus protecting the health of the operator.
The realization for the abatement of VOCs and solvents is completed by the following equipment:
The system, in combination with the equipment, was designed in accordance with the European directive ATEX II 3G T3 concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmosphere.
Our plants represents the best solution for the problems of our customers because they allow to heal the work environment and, at the same time, to reduce powders and VOCs emissions from paint production.
In detail, the DUSTdown® bag filter is an high efficiency technology that can remove fine and ultra-fine dusts, while keeping a high filtration efficiency. It has the following characteristics:
Chemsorb® activated carbon filters, on the other hand, are suitable to abate almost all compounds of organic origin (VOCs and odorous emission), and many of inorganic origin. It has the following characteristics:
