Most every industrial application creates dust and other harmful particulate. To maintain safe levels of air quality and comply with regulatory agencies, particularly with combustible dust, you need a way to manage air quality control, like using a dust collector or wet scrubber.

When it comes to air quality, it’s important to choose the best air pollution collection system for your specific application. Choosing the right system can mean the difference between a safe, productive work environment, and a plant shutdown.

A common type of wet scrubber that industrial companies use is the packed tower scrubber. Packed tower scrubbers, also known as packed bed scrubbers or packed column scrubbers, are a type of wet scrubber specifically designed for the chemical scrubbing of gaseous contaminants from airstreams....

Air quality control is important to the success of every business, especially ones with industrial applications. The best way to maintain a high level of air quality is by using dust collection equipment.

Since the types and mechanisms of air pollution are always changing, the equipment used to control the air pollutants that we make must change and evolve as well.

Wet scrubbers come in a variety of types and shapes, but all are basically designed to remove gases/vapors and particulates from the exhaust from process equipment like furnaces, dryers, mixers, bagging stations, etc. They’re often the best option for handling combustible particulates because...

A wet scrubber is a mechanical system that removes pollutants from an air stream by bringing it in contact with a scrubbing liquid, most often water. Wet scrubbers are generally the only single air pollution control device that can remove both particulates and gases/vapors. They are highly...

Air pollution control systems fall into two main categories: wet scrubbers and dry dust collectors (including both baghouses and cartridge collectors). Each type has its place, but determining which is best for a particular application does require careful consideration.

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...
