All too commonly, design engineers and consultants evaluate the need for Air Pollution Control (APC) after the process plant has been established and/or the design is near completion, virtually mandating end of-pipe solutions. (see NESTEC’s Nov 2018 Newsletter discussing the drawbacks of end of pipe…READ MORE
Innovation. It’s the process of creating something new, different, transformative—and when done right—better. In engineering, economics, business, and government policy, true innovation implies a substantial development has taken place, not a superficial change. The term refers equally to both radical and incremental changes to products,…READ MORE
The best way to ensure optimal RTO OR OXIDIZER performance is to analyze the life cycle of the proposed system in its three primary phases. Each phase offers unique and critical challenges that must be met to maximize system uptime and performance throughout the life…READ MORE
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) designs have evolved and advanced over the years. Each new generation has seen improvements in performance and reductions in operating and capital costs, as well as the addition of unique features and benefits. However, too frequently, many of the these features…READ MORE
The goal of any add-on air emission control system is to minimize both capital and operating costs while meeting emission control requirements and maintaining consistent and reliable operation. However, the highly variable nature of many industrial emission sources and the potential for process fluctuations can…READ MORE
