Industrial dust explosions don’t “just happen.” Too many manufacturers don’t consider the combustibility of the dust their processes may be creating when weighing their dust control options.

Most factories require dust collection systems for employee safety and compliance with environmental regulations. Sometimes there are a number of factors to consider, including unique challenges or restrictive space constraints. This was the case with AVEKA, who reached out to Sly for help with...

When most of us think about industrial dust collection, we think of dry dust filtration equipment. However, there are wet scrubbers that may be a better solution for controlling plant emissions and air pollution in many situations.

Budgeting for a wet scrubber system can seem like an overwhelming task when you install one only every few years. When building a budget for the project, not only do facilities engineers and operations staff have to consider the many equipment options available, but they also have to keep in...

When evaluating quotes from wet scrubber manufacturers, it is best to watch out for a few important details and approaches. Not every quote is prepared with the same level of detail, so it becomes tough for an engineer or plant manager to lay them alongside each other and see an apples-to-apples...

In 2015, Mercury Capture Systems (MCS) in Newtown, CT installed a proprietary process system for naturally reducing mercury gas in cement kiln exhausts. A Sly Inc. Impinjet® wet scrubber is an integral part of this process.

Though dry dust collectors are the most popular form of air pollution control (APC), there is no single answer to today’s APC problems. In many cases, a wet scrubber may work better than a baghouse, even for dry dust.
