    • Stainless Steel RTOs for Ethanol Emissions and OdorsA 42 million gallon expansion at an ethanol production plant in Nebraska was certain to put the dry mill out of emission compliance for Hazardous Air Pollutants, Volatile Organic Compounds, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter.

  • Food / Bakery (4)

    • Meat Processing Odor ControlFor its first two years of production, a food manufacturer based in South Wales, England, focused its production on potatoes. Neighborhood residents voiced no complaints about odors during this time period.
    • Bean RoastingAfter purchasing a new Barth roaster for their East coast processing facility, a nationally known bean roasting company knew their emissions and odors would need to be addressed with the increase in production.
    • Bakery EthanolA bread and bun bakery was faced with installing air pollution control equipment to control the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted during their baking process.
    • Organic Particulate FiltrationA food products company that mixes various types of waxes and other components to make the base for chewing gums was faced with the issue of cleaning up a slightly odorous, visible emission being exhausted from two of their process lines.

  • Metal Decorating / Can Coating (2)

    • Canmaker Achieves Cost-Effective ComplianceWith legislation looming on the horizon, JLClark began a thorough review of the pending EPA requirements and a corresponding search for a company that could provide an oxidizer system.
    • RTO Handles High VOC Loading at Silgan ContainersAs the first generation of oxidizer systems in the industry nears the end of their service life, many canmaking plants face repair or replacement of their existing air pollution control systems.
