Industrial air pollution receives enormous attention from the public and the press, making it not only a manufacturing concern, but having an impact on the entire company. Mech-Chem recognizes the importance of proper air emission control to not only meet EPA regulations, but the expectations of your customers and the public.

Mech-Chem’s services in Air Pollution Control Systems include:

• Fume Scrubbers and Exhaust Systems
• Push/Pull Ventilation Systems (Photo below)
• Gas Adsorption Systems
• Particulate Filtration Systems
• Carbon Absorption Systems
• Gas/Acid Scrubbing Systems
• Tank/Equipment Venting

In order to establish the appropriate design of air emission control systems for gases, chemical vapors and acids, the following items are evaluated:

• Gas Flow Rate
• Liquid Flow Rate
• Inlet Gas Composition
• Outlet Gas Composition
• Scrubber Efficiency
• Mass Transfer Coefficient
• Superficial Velocity
• Flood Point
• Packed Bed Area
• Packed Bed Length
• Liquid pH Level

Mech-Chem has conducted technical and engineering evaluations in air emissions to meet EPA standards for the release the fumes from:

• Acids, including nitric (HNO₃), hydrochloric (HCl), hydrofluoric (HF), phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄)
• Metallic contaminants and particulates
• Solvents including: toluene, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and tetrahydofuran
