Poor air quality is affecting us all, DeGATECH is protect people, production and our mother planet.A key component of sustainability policy is a reduction in energy use. Fortunately, implementing new air quality measures can lead to such a reduction. For example, DeGATECH collectors & Wet Scrubbers systems are designed to use less energy. DeGATECH electric motors are energy efficient, and SMART-VX Control Panel helps monitor equipment and make energy-saving adjustments as needed. The SMART VX monitors airflow and automatically adjusts the motor RPM to compensate for filter loading. Energy peaks and valleys are evened out, and energy use is cut by around 35 to 40%. As with any sustainability option, a company must weigh the return on investment. The ROI on the SMART VX varies from 9 to 12 months, depending on energy costs.
Working with DeGATECH industry-leading engineers to improve your air quality can lead to significant energy savings. These benefits are, of course, in addition to the many other benefits that come from cleaner air. Air quality testing can show if you are meeting OSHA exposure limits for the dusts produced at your facility. OSHA has established Personal Exposure Limits based on an eight-hour time-weighted average for hundreds of dusts. They are listed in OHSA’s annotated PEL tables. The OSHA PEL requirements will determine the minimum level of filtration efficiency that your fume collector must achieve. For example, if the established limit for your particulate is an average of 5 mg/cu m, the dust collector manufacturer must provide a guarantee of something less than that—preferably at least half the limit.OSHA and the EPA want to know that emissions will be at or below their required thresholds. The Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) ratings scale provides a good indicator of a dust collector filter’s initial efficiency. However, it does not measure pressure drop, emissions while pulsing, energy performance or the other parameters that better reflect dust collector efficiency.
Improving air quality in a facility entails installing dust or fume collectors in a systematic way to treat all of the air, not just problem spots. Whether the solution is a source capture unit or an ambient capture solution, there are many options available. For almost two decades we have has designed and installed these air quality solutions.
OUR KEY POINTS OF DESIGN INCLUDE
• The air volume
• Fan efficiency and motor control
• Heat recovery and air make-up
• Training and maintenance
When a company improves the air quality in a facility, the equipment in that facility functions better. It is less prone to breakdowns and requires less cleaning. Your equipment also lasts longer, which is a major boon to budgets. Longer-lasting equipment not only means less money spent on capital, it also means less time spent on procurement, installation and training on that new equipment.
Cleaner air means enhanced efficiencies and a smoother-functioning at workplace. The case for air filtration is more solid than ever, including higher productivity, regulatory compliance, healthy workers and so on.
DeGATECH wants its customers to enhance profitability by making their operations as efficient as possible by meeting high environmental standards and keeping their employees safe from harmful dust-mist and fumes. That’s how DeGATECH is adding value to all its customers.
