Disclosed is an apparatus for removing emissions, originated in the manufacturing industry, especially from polymerization operations and thermoplastic polymer processing operations which has a duct system for collecting the air, containing emissions, with an entrance and an exit, a first heat exchanger, which is connected to the entrance of the duct system, a liquid removal system which is connected to the first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, which is connected to the liquid removal system and a fan which is connected to the second heat exchanger and the exit of the duct system.

Apparatus for removing emissions by condensation and precipitation

Disclosed is an apparatus for removing emissions, originated in the manufacturing industry, especially from polymerization operations and thermoplastic polymer processing operations which has a plurality of ducts, an entrance for collecting air, containing the emissions and an exit for exiting exhaust air, a first heat exchanger which has a hot side with an entrance and an exit and a cold side with an entrance and an exit, a second heat exchanger, which has a hot side with an entrance and an exit and a cold side, a liquid removal system, and a fan, whereby the first heat exchanger is connected with the entrance of the hot side to the entrance of the duct system and with the exit of the hot side to the entrance of the hot side of the second heat exchanger by a duct; the exit of the hot side of the second heat exchanger is connected to the entrance of the cool side of the first heat exchanger by a duct; the precipitator is connected to the exit of the cool side of the first heat exchanger by a duct and to the fan by a duct, the fan is connected to the exit of the duct system.

Energy efficient apparatus for removing emissions

Disclosed is a process for removing emissions, originated in the manufacturing industry, especially from polymerization operations and thermoplastic polymer processing operations which includes collecting the air, containing the emissions, directing the air, containing the emissions through a first heat exchanger thereby cooling the air, directing the air, exiting the first heat exchanger, through a second heat exchanger, thereby cooling the air, directing the air exiting the second heat exchanger to a liquid removal system and directing the air, exiting the liquid removal system through the first heat exchanger, thereby heating the air.

Energy efficient process for removing emissions

Disclosed is a process for removing emissions, originated in the manufacturing industry, especially from polymerization operations and thermoplastic polymer processing operations by collecting the air, containing the emissions, cooling the air, directing the air to a liquid removal system and heating the air.

Process for removing emissions by condensation and precipitation

Disclosed is a process for removing emissions originated in the manufacturing industry, especially from polymerization operations and thermoplastic polymer processing operations by collecting air containing the emissions, directing the air containing the emissions to a candle filter in a candle filter housing and rinsing the air containing the emissions within the candle filter with a solvent.

Process for removing emissions by a washing method

Disclosed is an apparatus for removing emissions from a broad variety of sources, especially from polymerization operations and thermoplastic polymer processing operations, which contains a header for collecting air, containing the emissions, a duct, a candle filter housing, which is connected to the header by the duct, a candle filter, located in the candle filter housing, which is connected to the duct, a nozzle for rinsing the candle filter with a solvent, which is connected to the candle filter, and a fan for moving the air through the header, duct, candle filter and candle filter housing.

Apparatus for removing emissions

Disclosed is an apparatus for removing caprolactam emissions from a broad variety of sources, especially from caprolactam polymerization operations and thermoplastic polycaprolactam processing operations which contains a header for collecting air containing the emissions, a duct, and a candle filter housing, which is connected to the header by the duct, a candle filter located in the candle filter housing, which is connected to the duct, a nozzle for rinsing the candle filter with an aqueous caprolactam solution, which is connected to the candle filter; a reservoir having a drain which is connected to the candle filter, a circulation pump for recirculating the aqueous caprolactam solution from the reservoir to the candle filter, a refractometer and a feedback equipment for maintaining the caprolactam concentration in the reservoir at a predetermined level and a fan for moving the air through the header, duct, candle filter and candle filter housing.

Apparatus for removing caprolactam emissions

Disclosed is a process for removing emissions from caprolactam polymerization operations and thermoplastic polycaprolactam processing operations by collecting air containing the emissions, directing the air, containing the emissions, to a candle filter in a candle filter housing and rinsing the air, containing the emissions, within the candle filter with an aqueous caprolactam solution, containing at least 4% by weight caprolactam.
