Air Pollution Control Devices

Air pollution control equipment removes and eliminates a wide variety of pollutants, known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) including sulfuric fumes, gases, odors and vapors from the atmosphere. VOCOs and HAPs cause serious environmental and biological damage resulting in smog, acid rain, carbon emissions and global warming , but they are reduced or eliminated by air pollution control equipment.

 

To remain in compaliance with federal emissions regulations, facilities must install emission control systems to keep air pollution output below levels specific to facility size and pollutant type. Oxidizers perform a process in which air pollutants such as hydrogen sulfide are broken up and reformed into safe,non-toxic carbon; this process, called oxidation, is performed by burning air pollutants and is at the heart of most of these systems. Depending on the type of air pollution being controlled, facilities may also use wet scrubbers, mist collectors, electrostatic precipitators, odor control systems or simply air filtration systems. Automotive, agricultural, petrochemical processing , mining, pharmaceutical  and most industrial manufacturing facilities requires air pollution control systems to regulate air purity inside the facility and without . To recuperate the some of the cost of running this equipment, many manufacturers use heat recovery systems as well.
