Air Pollution Control - APC Technologies™
Applying air pollution control equipment to hazardous air pollutants from Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Petrochemical, Manufacturing, Industrial, and Institutional Sources.
All types of industry are under pressure to seek cost-effective solutions to reduce air pollution. Air pollution control is a cost of doing business and detracts from the bottom line. As such, great care must be taken to properly:
- Evaluate process streams
- Analyze and compare viable air pollution control technologies
- Specify appropriate cost-effective air pollution control equipment, supplier compliance requirements and expectations
- Assess energy efficiency and potential recovery options
- Manage the project from inception through construction and commissioning
- Minimize overall costs
A minor error or misjudgment in this process can lead to serious financial stress involving:
- Stranded capital costs
- Long-term and expensive operating & maintenance costs
- Regulatory compliance issues and consent orders
- Operational inflexibility and production limits
- Unscheduled loss of production time
Although industry is motivated by regulatory requirements to reduce hazardous air pollutants, the application of air pollution control equipment can have an enormous impact on a company’s bottom line and thus warrants professional scrutiny. To help clients identify the best approach to meet their needs, O'Brien & Gere has created the APC Technologies™ Group within its Air Quality Division. The APC Technologies™ team is a group of engineers dedicated to addressing client needs for air pollution control equipment expertise and guidance. These engineers have decades of direct, practical experience in the design and manufacture of various air pollution control technologies such as thermal oxidizers (RTO, DFTO, catalytic, recuperative, etc.), NOx abatement systems (SCR, SNCR), scrubbers (particulate, acid gas, etc.), baghouses, biofilters and others.
The APC Technologies™ Group compliments O’Brien & Gere’s Air Quality Division in providing 360° air quality solutions, namely:
- Stack testing to determine baseline conditions
- Dispersion modeling to assist in evaluating control levels
- Air permitting strategy and services to ensure future operational flexibility, by-pass strategies, and compliance
- Monitoring and reporting to provide the necessary documentation to demonstrate compliance
- Evaluation, conceptual design, construction, commissioning, and oversight of the installation of air pollution control equipment, along with warranties that makes sense for the project-specific application and risk tolerance.
