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.
