Heavy odors from powders containing WALOCEL™
Capturing powders containing WALOCEL™ MW 15000 PFV Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose at the source.
Capturing VOC from the source by scrubbing with carbon
The Challenge
A major plastics manufacturer experienced heavy odors from mixing powders containing WALOCEL™ MW 15000 PFV Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose.
The Solution
Our team recommended the PDB-VOC source capture collector. The dual 4" ducting collar version enables our client to connect static-dissipative flex ducts directly to the dual 4" pickup points on the mixer for a completely sealed source capture.
Our experiments found that a combination of 4mm potassium permanganate pellets and 4mm activated carbon delivered the most optimal results.
The PDB-VOC Collector supports up to three 24x24x3" carbon cells, each capable of holding 28 lbs. of absorption media. This configuration ensures thorough capture of the targeted powders, significantly improving the company's operational efficiency.
The plant manager expressed great satisfaction with the PDB-VOC Collector, citing its success in enhancing their processes, leading to the recent purchase of a second unit.
Explosion-Proof Motor and NEMA 7/9 Starter are available
