Wood Industry
NESTEC’s staff has been involved with the Plywood and Composite Wood Products (PCWP) industry to control air emissions from the dryer and/or press exhaust. The addition of a Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP) prior to the RTO was an innovation that minimized the total particulate matter (TPM) in the RTO. WESP upgrades have been installed in several Wood Pellet Plants by NESTEC.
NESTEC has installed eleven (13) complete air emission control systems with RTOs, RCOs, WESPs, and process exhaust collection and control systems for the wood industry. The NESTEC systems were installed for control on the rotary wood chip dryer exhaust and/or hammermill and/or cooler processes in SC, MS, LA, GA. Two (2) other systems are presently being engineered and installed in TX.

NESTEC has addressed the issues and problems associated with the WESP and/or RTO for wood applications and offers the latest designs to reduce and/or eliminate the issues and associated costs due to:
- Caustic carryover to the RTO during WESP flushing stage
- Misalignment of the WESP electrode over time
- Poor WESP uniform airflow through the tubes and the associated reduced efficiency
- RTO valve leakage and/or thermal expansion failures
- RTO heat recovery media support failures due to overstress
- Poor RTO uniform airflow into the heat recovery media and the associated reduced efficiency
- Poor overall system design
NESTEC, Inc. provides a single point responsibility and service/training for all RTO, RCO, WESP systems, with 24/7 responses for a multitude of industries.
