Preventative Maintenance Solutions for Air Pollution Control

Production output and cost control can be difficult to obtain consistently in any manufacturing operation. 

In this white paper, we describe one facility’s experience with installing and maintaining a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) control system. This is a typical example of how a preventive maintenance plan can ensure the control system operates with 100 percent reliability, how such a plan can be designed so implementation does not interfere with production, and how the low cost of a preventive maintenance plan makes sense for every plant’s bottom line.

This paper also examines the challenges and benefits of establishing an appropriately designed preventive maintenance program for the operators of a VOC abatement device. These systems can include: Catalytic, thermal, regenerative oxidizers, or concentration devices designed to destroy VOC/HAP emissions and satisfy state or federal clean air act permit requirements.
