Many industrial processes, such as plastic molding or asphalt coating of roofing materials, require high temperatures to be effective. Other processes generate heat through mechanical working and forming; oil lubricated aluminum rolling mills are a good example. As a result of this heat generation, hydrocarbon organics are released from the materials and process, quickly condensing into sub-micron aerosol clouds of “blue smoke”. Enclosures, hoods and ductwork are typically used to collect the sub-micron emissions, however stack venting without treatment causes persistent opacity and a dense visible plume.
Persistent opacity from condensed organics results in highly visible oil mist plumes. These condensed organics are also referred to as “smoke” or “blue haze”.
The Brink Oil Mist System is designed based on capture efficiency, flow rate, type of organic compound and pressure drop/energy efficiency. The units are delivered in pre-engineered and pre-tested assembled modules. Field module interconnects and installation is fast and easy using flange to flange assembly.
