Applying Ecosorb. The challenge is not whether Ecosorb
will neutralize the odor but in getting Ecosorb to the odor site in a form
that allows it to be effective. This is often determined by how Ecosorb is
atomized into the atmosphere via a delivery system. An appropriate delivery
system will be chosen based on the type of odor to be controlled, the source
of odor emission, the size of the area, the existing odor control hardware,
and the flexibility of engineering facilities. However, whether the
requirement is for dripping, fogging, dosing, injecting, or scrubbing, easy
to use application equipment is available and can be provided by your Ecosorb
distributor. The types of delivery apparatus vary from a simple portable-fogging
machine to complex metering,
injection, and recovery systems found in multi-million dollar air
scrubbing/filtration units. Because of Ecosorb’s infinite flexibility,
existing odor control hardware can usually be adapted easily. This further
reduces capital costs by keeping equipment from becoming redundant. Ecosorb can often
replace air scrubbers and other elaborate odor control equipment used to
deodorize stack emissions. Where scrubbers are installed, Ecosorb can be used
as a safe, effective odor control substitute for potentially hazardous
chemicals or as a secondary polishing agent. Little alteration to existing
equipment is necessary to quickly install an Ecosorb system in almost any
plant. Apparatus available are as follows: ·
Hydraulic High Pressure Systems ·
Pneumatic Atomization
Nozzle Systems Hydraulic High Pressure
Systems (top) All high-pressure hydraulic odor control systems
designed and built by ECSP are completely custom made to suit the many
different needs and objectives of our clients. ECSP hydraulic odor control
systems can be installed with manual controls or they can be assembled
completely automated to be activated by time schedules. Process controllers,
wind and or weather activation controls or specific gas counts The
high-pressure hydraulic odor control systems are infinitely flexible in
design and construction The atomization line can be supplied in either
high-pressure flexible tubing or utilizing stainless steel pipe and fittings.
Standard in-line water filtration with our hydraulic systems cleanses down to
5 micron ensuring minimal downtime or nozzle clogging due to calcification or
other solids in the water supply. Water softening units may also be included
if required. The
pump and motor is supplied fully enclosed on a very sturdy aluminium frame,
with a painted aluminium cover for extended corrosion resistance and
durability The pumping unit is supplied TEFC and mechanically cooled. An
extensive combination of pumps and motors can be utilized to suit on-site
needs and the various international power requirements. The high-pressure hydraulic atomization nozzles used can be supplied
in a variety of orifice sizes to suit each particular application. The
orifice size determines the water droplet size and flow rate into the
atmosphere. The standard hydraulic nozzles are brass with a stainless steel
insert orifice although ECSP can supply full stainless nozzles for highly
corrosive atmospheres. Nozzle lines
can be supplied with any combination of nozzle spacings and manifold line.
Several nozzle lines can be run from a single pump unit utilizing a
unique combination of specially made manifolds and control valves. ECSP's
high-pressure hydraulic odor control system can be supplied with basic
controls fixed to the pump module or in a control panel, which can
located in a more convenient or accessible area. The control panel can be
assembled to activate manually or be automated by means of activation by a
time sequence, process controllers, weather activation or specified gas
counts. The control panel can also provide maintenance prompters for the
filtration systems, the pump and motor to ensure long term operation and
reliability. Injection
of ECSP's odor control chemicals can be adjusted using other proportional
hydraulic injection systems or electronic metering devices depending on the
site requirements. These proportional injectors may be adjusted during
operation if necessary to compensate for additional or abnormal odor
levels-Standard electrical units, explosion proof units, electric or diesel
powered mobile units, whatever special requirements you may have ECSP can
design and build the odor control system that will meet your special needs
and your expectations. Designed, built
and supplied by our engineering department ECSP will ensure that you get the
right system for your needs. If required, ECSP can also provide an ongoing
regular maintenance service to ensure peak performance of your odor control
system at all times. Pneumatic Atomization
Nozzle Systems (top) Compressed air atomization nozzle systems provide an excellent method to
deliver atomized Ecosorb to an application.
The systems are simple in design and easily installed. The largest single advantage of air
atomization nozzle systems is the ability for control – the higher the air
pressure (the smaller and faster the droplet size and the higher the liquid
pressure). The further the volume of the product that can be disbursed
offering a system suitable for duel operation. As an added benefit, these systems can be
and often are designed to operate without electrical power, making them ideal
for potentially explosive environments.
The system requires facility compressed air. The Pneumatic atomization systems utilize “air atomizing” nozzles that
are manufactured by companies such as Spraying systems, Delavan, Delta, and Bete
and are available through MechPro. Compressed air is mixed with thru Ecosorb liquid stream within the
nozzle, producing a completely atomized spray. System design is typically a pneumatic
design where one must deal with pressure regulation, flow control, compressed
air quality and pneumatic plumbing. Hollow Bladed Fans (top) The hollow bladed fan is an innovative, simple, and effective solution
for the delivery of Ecosorb in relatively still air applications. Usually used indoors, the fan is excellent
for applications where localized delivery is deficient. The hollow bladed fan is an electrically driven four bladed fan with an
orifice passage located in the longitudinal axis of each blade. Ecosorb is delivered into the fan hub from
where it is transmitted into the blades and exits the blade tips where it is
well atomized. The dispersion distance for Ecosorb is from 30 to 60 feet (10 to 20
meters) depending on the model selected.
Attaching the fan to a 360° oscillator, one can realize over 2,800
square feet (240 square meters) of coverage with one fan. The oscillating unit can be adjusted to
cover from 3.75° to a full 360° of sweep range. For larger areas, one can specify multiple
fans. Installation of these fans is simple.
A wheeled floor stand is available for mobile applications or
low-level installations. Usually, the
fans are installed in elevated wall or ceiling locations above the odor
source. Two U-bolts suspend the fan
assembly from a horizontal steel pipe.
Purpose made wall, ceiling and floor mount kits are also available. The fan is only a delivery apparatus and requires a metering pump to
move and dilute working solution from the Ecosorb container. The fan comes complete with a flow meter
for monitoring purposes. Vapor Phase Systems (top) Vapour systems convert Ecosorb into vapor phase and distribute the
vapors into malodorous areas where a reaction can occur. Inlet air is drawn into the chamber intake
opening under a vacuum produced by the blower. As the product is vaporized, the chemical
holding tank replenishes it. The
vapors travel through the vapor chamber and transfer tube to the vapor outlet
tube and then are dispersed to the target area whether that is 50 or 500 feet
away. The primary air supply is drawn
into the stream through the blower silencer with only enough air pulled
through the vapor chamber to carry the resulting product vapors. System pressure is typically between 20 to
psi, with higher pressures used when higher product consumption is desired.
