Techniques Of Air Pollution Control


The techniques of air pollution control are employed to reduce the gaseous and particulate emissions of harmful substances that can affect human health or the environment.
Controlling air pollution is amongst the key areas of keeping pollution in check. Other principal areas of controlling pollution include , wastewater, solid and hazardous waste management.
Thermax Group, one of the best chemical companies in India, has been providing a range of engineering solutions that are sustainable and environment friendly in nature. Their headquarters are in Pune, India and they function in over 33 offices internationally.
Thermax is among the top five manufacturers of industrial pollution control equipment in the world. They are ranked so highly due to the innovative and sustainable solutions they offer for solving problems of air pollution. They offer single source expertise for several areas of protection of the environment. These include products and systems for air pollution control, services for equipment that specializes in dealing with gaseous and particulate emissions. Thermax focuses on resource recovery which is advantageous to process focused industries.
Combustions are a major source of air pollution. Industries emit gaseous combustions that are a major source of air pollution. Therefore there has been a focus on regulation of air pollution in industrialized countries.
Thermax provides several customized products of air pollution control that are effective in reducing air pollution:
  1. Fume Extraction and Dedusting Systems
These systems are installed to seize fumes from furnaces. This is a completely safe operation and takes place without formation of dust or deposition due to the optimized air velocity in these systems.
  1. Coal Preparation Plants
These plants consist of equipment for storing and handling raw coal. They also have a section for pulverizing , grinding, drying and collecting coal through a bag filter. Coal preparation plants convert grounded coal to inert gases in the blast furnace tuyeres, thereby making it safe for use by major steel plants.
  1. Pushing Emission Control Systems
These systems are used to control emissions that are produced from hot coke being discharged from an oven of a coke battery from the beginning of the discharge till the time the coke reaches the quenching station. This system is designed to capture solid emissions that result from coke pushing and clean them.
  1. Flue Gas Desulphurisation
The production of sulphur dioxide (SO2) adversely affects the environment. Desulphurisation helps in reducing the harmful effects of SO2 through dry, semi-dry and wet systems.
  1. Sinter Plant and Pellet Plant De-Dusting
Sintering is the process that is conducted to fuse the constituent materials of iron ore to make a single porous mass that can be used in a blast furnace.
Pelletizing is used to turn fine iron-ore grains into pellets that can be used in blast furnaces and are suitable for direct reduction.
Thermax is one of the rare chemical companies in Pune that offers all these efficient and eco-friendly services under one roof. This makes them reliable partners that provide solutions to critical energy challenges of their clients.

What are Bi-Drum Boilers? How Do They Work?

Image
Bi-drum boilers are used for purposes of power generation and as process steam generators. This type of boiler is used up to 100MW for generating power. Bi-drum boilers are non-reheat units which are getting wiped out due to high heat rate of the plant. These boilers are used for generating high steam pressure which is used for power generation owing to their ability to accommodate high load of fluctuation and respond to load changes with more agility compared a single drum boiler. The two drums in the bi-drum boiler are connected using a large number of convective heat transfer tubes known as bank tubes or boiler bank tubes. These tubes are about one thousand in number. The bank tubes and the drum at the bottom that contains water will have a water level that will be up to the normal working level of water in the upper drum. The water availability in the bi-drum boiler makes it very adoptable for large load changes. Flue gases enter the bank tubes which are placed towards t...

How Do Electrostatic Precipitators Work?

Image
Reducing air pollutants is vital for human health and the health of the environment. Poor air quality has harmful effects on human health, particularly the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Pollutants also damage plants and buildings, and smoke or haze can reduce visibility. Industries are largely responsible for causing pollution. They are also the ones who have access to a number of pollution control devices that absorb, filter, dilute, and disperse pollutants. One such device for pollution control is the electrostatic precipitator. This device works by removing particles and smoke from a gas stream using an electrostatic charge. Dust particles travel past wires that have a high direct current (DC) voltage applied, which ionises the surrounding gas. This corona discharge causes the particles to pick up a small electrostatic charge, without impeding the gas flow. Originally designed for recovery of valuable industrial-process materials, electrostatic precipitators are used a...

Quick overview of the Import & Export of Chemicals in India

Image
The chemical industry in India offers building blocks and essential raw materials for numerous industries such as paints, paper, textiles, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, soap, and detergents, etc. Let’s go through a few statistics of the chemical industry: The chemical industry in India is ranked 4th in Asia and 6th in the world. The global chemical industry is expected to be worth $4.7 trillion. The chemical companies in India contributes 3.4% to the global chemical industry. As of 2018, the chemical industry (including pharmaceuticals and fertilizers) stood at $163 billion. The Chemical sector in India is expected to grow at 9% per annum to reach $304 Bn by FY 2025. The expansion is anticipated to be pushed by rising demand in end-use segments for Specialty Chemicals and also for petrochemical intermediates. In 2015-16, the Chemical and Chemical Products sector accounted for 2.39percent of the GVA, compared to 2.23percent in 2014-15.18 Note: With India possessing a l...
