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 suggested the PDB-VOC source capture collector. The dual 4" ducting collar version allows our client to connect static-dissipative flex ducts directly to the dual 4" pickup points on the mixer, ensuring a completely sealed source capture.
Our experiments demonstrated that the most effective results were obtained when a combination of 4mm potassium permanganate pellets and 4mm activated carbon was used. The PDB-VOC Collector accommodates up to three 24x24x3" carbon cells, each capable of holding 28 lbs. of absorption media. This arrangement ensures thorough capture of the targeted powders, significantly enhancing the company's operational efficiency.
The plant manager expressed great satisfaction with the PDB-VOC Collector, noting its effectiveness in improving their processes, which led to the recent purchase of a second unit.
Explosion-Proof Motor and NEMA 7/9 Starter are Available
