Bio filter
Is the most common odor abatement unit. Filled with selected woodchip or engineered media, ATP Environment biofilters have been optimized over the years to offer the best value for money and easy operation and maintenance.
Biofilters eliminate on site chemicals storage requirements and need only a water or filtered final effluent supply and a drain connection.
Selected bacteria colonize the substrate media within the biofilter and digest the odor-causing compounds, which typically include H2S, thiols, organic sulfides, and ammonia.
The humidity of gas stream is important for maintaining the moisture content of the biofilter media.
Gas streams introduced to the biofiltration system are usually pumped through a humidifier prior to entering the biofilter.
The optimized environment for bacterial activity is also maintained by controlled irrigation, which ensures the odor control is effective.
Static filter
A static filter is a key component in air purification systems, designed to efficiently capture and remove particulate matter from air streams. Utilizing layers of filtration media, static filters trap dust, dirt, and other airborne particles through a simple yet effective mechanism.
These filters are known for their low maintenance, durability, and ability to handle high volumes of air, making them a preferred choice in various industrial settings. Ideal for environments where air quality is paramount, static filters provide a straightforward and reliable solution for keeping air clean and free from contaminants.
Cyclone
A cyclone is a highly efficient air filtration device used in industrial settings to remove particulates from air or gas streams.
The cyclone spins the air at high velocities, causing heavier particles to move to the outer walls and fall into a collection area, while purified air exits through the top.
Cyclones are known for their durability, low maintenance requirements, and ability to handle large volumes of air, making them an essential component in various industrial air purification systems.
Baghouse filter
A baghouse filter, also known as a fabric filter, is a sophisticated air pollution control device used in industrial processes to capture particulate matter. It operates by passing contaminated air through a series of filter bags made of fabric or other filtering material. As the air flows through these bags, particles are trapped on the surface, allowing clean air to pass through.
Baghouse filters are highly efficient, capable of capturing very fine dust particles, and are essential in industries where dust emission control is crucial. They are valued for their effectiveness, adaptability to different air volumes, and ease of maintenance, making them a staple in environmental management strategies.
Absolute filter
An absolute filter, also known as a HEPA filter, captures extremely fine particles. It traps particles as small as 0.3 microns with 99.97% efficiency.
These filters are vital in cleanrooms, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and healthcare facilities where air purity is critical.
Known for superior filtration, they remove dust, allergens, bacteria, and microscopic pollutants, ensuring a safe, clean environment in industrial and commercial settings.
frequently asked questions
Some answers to frequently asked questions about our industry
The technology for the abatement of dust and other kinds of PM (particulate matter) from air currents must be chosen based on the size, weight and composition of the dust and the air flow that contains it. In fact, depending on the industrial process of origin, the air can contain different types of dust, such as
- metallic dust
- plastic particles
- dust from the food industry (starch, shells, flours)
- dust from waste treatment
- dust from the recycling of batteries and electronic components
and many others. In many cases the best solution is wet technologies such as the venturi scrubber, or dry technologies such as bag filters or absolute filters. If you have a problem with PM emissions contact ATP environment team to know which technology best suits your application.
In the case of water-soluble VOCs, the recommended technologies for odor treatment are air scrubbers, bioscrubbers and biofilters. In general, removing unpleasant or nauseating odors from the air coming from industrial processes is not a trivial matter as the substances that generate them can be of various natures. For this reason is important to conduct a gas analysis and consult with an air treatment expert such as ATP environment that can identify the best technology for your odor problem.
