Removing Oil From Cleaner Tanks

One of the main problems that customers have with their cleaner tanks is when they become over-loaded with oils. Reduce the amount of dirt and grease.

One of the main problems that customers have with their cleaner tanks is when they become over-loaded with oils. This creates two issues. The first issue is that the parts that need to be cleaned are not receiving the necessary cleaning. The second issue is the cleaning solution disposal. This can be an awfully expensive and labor-intensive process for the customer – not only to drain the solution out, but to then clean the tank and re-charge with new chemistry.

How can customers deal with this problem? They can cut the volume of the tank and re-charge with new chemistry, they can install skimmers on the top of the tanks, they can use equipment that separates the oil compounds from the liquids, or they even use a hydrophobic absorbent to attract the oil so that it can be removed from the tanks.

What benefits does the customer get from the removal of these oils? There are a few. The first benefit is a longer cleaner bath life. This can extend the life of the bath and at the same time reduce chemical costs associated with dumping and recharging of the bath. The most important benefit is reducing the dirt and grease being transferred down the plating line and potentially destroying the chemistry. This will keep your plating baths free of these contaminants that could damage the chemistry. This results in less chemistry being used and a decrease in costs. Reducing the amount of dirt and grease can also prolong the life of filters down the line, including the filters used in the plating process. This is yet another means with which to reduce costs.

If you are having trouble with oils and grease in your cleaner tanks, please contact us. We would be happy to discuss our V-Series oil removals systems with you

Dealing With The Delhi Dilemma

India has a lethal problem with its air. As other developing nations have, it must find a way to grow its infrastructure – industrial production, power generation, refining and wastewater treatment – while balancing the social health of its citizens. With air quality technologies becoming more widely available to advanced and developing nations, it may be easier for India to manage the issue. Atmospheric pollution in India is the fifth largest cause of death in the nation – recently estimated to kill approximately 2.5 million people a year. Specifically, the World Health Organization has found that India has the world’s highest death rates from asthma and chronic respiratory illness. In Delhi in particular, suffocating air quality has irreversibly damaged the lungs of 2.2 million children (approximately 50% of the total number of children in the city) – a public-health crisis that will go on causing sickness and premature death for decades.

Filter Out The Problem

There are over 300,000 miles of gas transmission pipeline in the US today. The vast majority of these pipelines are medium to large-diameter, ranging from 10 – 48 in., and conveying gas typically at pressures of between 500 – 1400 psig in volumes of billions of ft3/d. As natural gas progressively replaces coal as the preferred fuel for electricity generating plants nationwide, and also becomes a major export commodity in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG), this national pipeline grid has never been more important. Like any vital technology…

Earth Day Turns 50: Where We Are, Where We Need To Be

Born in 1970, Earth Day advanced the notions that everyone has a right to a clean, unpolluted world, and that our planet is our precious home.

Born in 1970, Earth Day advanced the notions that everyone has a right to a clean, unpolluted world, that our planet is our precious home, and that we must actively protect our shared environment. We have made some progress but it’s a long road ahead to reach the pristine, yet prosperous, world envisioned by Earth Day’s founders. Many wonder if we can get there. I think we can.

I’m proud to lead a company like CECO Environmental that eliminates tons of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and toxic particulates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We work with industry leaders in power generation, oil and gas, and industrial manufacturing to help them grow, while reducing and eliminating air pollutants. The WHO estimated that, in 2016, ambient air pollution was responsible for 4.2 million premature deaths worldwide, including 600,000 children under 15. And now, with the world under the stress of the coronavirus pandemic, we learned from a recent Harvard study that COPD, caused not only by smoking but by heavy ambient particulate pollution, increases by a factor of 5.97 the chances that a COVID-19 infection will become severe. Dirty air is multiplying the deadly effects of the virus as the total number of infections tops two million worldwide.

Fifty years ago, Earth Day created a groundswell of grassroots environmentalists that have driven true progress and increased demand for a cleaner earth. Today, on the fiftieth anniversary celebration of Earth Day, we celebrate in the shadow of the worst global pandemic since the Spanish Flu. COVID-19, with all its human and economic destruction, provides a reminder that, no matter where we live and no matter what our economic status is, we all share a common planet and the air we breathe. So it comes as no surprise that the COVID-19 illness is exhibiting with increased severity in parts of the country and the world with higher air pollution levels. If ever there was a call to action to clean up our planet, this year is the year!

This is especially true as our team helps industrials in India’s major cities, like Delhi, reduce emissions of NOx, SOx, and carbon microparticles from production related exhaust. Today, respiratory illness is the fifth largest cause of death in the nation – recently estimated to kill approximately 2.5 million people a year; however, as more industrials and refineries install air quality control equipment, we can achieve a significant reduction in these deaths. In China, chronic respiratory diseases—mainly asthma, emphysema, and COPD—remained in the top five leading causes of mortality in 2016, accounting for 9% (approximately 870,000) of total noncommunicable disease (NCDs) deaths. Despite the continuous effort and significant improvements in ambient air quality in China over the past decade, NCDs remained responsible for over 80% of mortality in 2018. The rate has risen globally as industries expanded into developing nations with more than 50% of air pollution-related deaths (7 million) attributed to outdoor air pollution alone.

So, we in the pollution control industry need to step up our game to get the message out about the technologies and solutions that can help protect our shared environment. Reducing air pollution around the world and turning it sharply down will take the combined efforts of leaders in sectors like energy, chemicals, and transportation together with government policy makers.

Our experience at CECO Environmental has shown that there is no inherent contradiction between economic growth and a healthy human and natural environment. Solutions are available where there is the will to clean up our planet for future generations. It is up to us, as business leaders, to adopt the technologies that will help achieve this goal. Let’s mobilize from Earth Day forward as we navigate successfully through the COVID-19 crisis.

Solving The Air Quality Challenge

Air quality is a major concern for people all over the world. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the health risks associated with air pollution, and governments around the world have been tightening regulations on emissions. The fertilizer industry is one of the major contributors to air pollution, and as a result, fertilizer producers are facing increasing pressure to reduce their emissions.

This PDF, titled “Solving the Air Quality Challenge,” discusses the technologies available to the fertilizer industry to help them meet air quality standards. The PDF covers a wide range of topics, including scrubbers, fabric filters, and mist collectors. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities facing the fertilizer industry as it strives to reduce its emissions.

Scrubbing Up Nicely

Scrubbing Up Nicely by Ali Goudarze, CECO Environmental.

Read how an ammonium nitrate producer maintained compliance with emissions regulations during a growth spurt. It is common knowledge that there is an overwhelming global food shortage and, with the world’s population growing exponentially, the demand for agricultural produce will continue to rise. Within CECO Environmental’s line of work, fertilizer producers frequently have to adjust operations to align with market fluctuations and the evolving need to ramp up production output.

Eliminating Carbon and other Toxic Emissions Along the Supply Chain

Working at CECO Environmental allows me to work with a team that treats every day as Earth Day. And, I couldn’t be prouder.

How is this possible?

Across the globe, we help our customers reduce carbon and other harmful toxic emissions from the air. For more than 15 years, one of our technology brands, CECO Peerless, has served the energy market through our system installations to reduce more than 6 billion pounds of nitrogen oxides (NOx) for more than 820 customer locations. That’s 6 billion pounds – equal to more 1.6 million medium-sized cars.

We have a tremendous opportunity to look across the entire supply chain: energy generation, transportation, manufacturing and production. By combining multiple technologies, CECO can help detail the synergies in emissions and tackle problems one by one. Together, we’ve developed innovative problem-solving solutions for the challenges of environmental air pollution control, energy, fluid handling and filtration.

Simply put: Our mission, along with our brand promise, is to help protect our shared environment.

Here’s how we do it:

  • More efficient, electric power generation: From solid fuel or natural gas, efficiency is one of the first steps in emissions reduction. The more efficient the process, the less fuel used per kilowatt, and the less CO2 emitted. Not to mention there are multiple ways to reduce exhaust or eliminate emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and NOx with technologies such as SCR, SCNR, and other solutions involved in the process.
  • Breathe easy, breathe clean: By reducing VOCs and other particulates in manufacturing, several of our innovative solutions such as scrubbers, separators and cyclones are important to maintain the safety of the plant air for workers and protect the wider environment.
  • Propelling power, propelling processes: Typically, pumps can be one of the first points of failure and leakage within pipelines and fluid process systems because their drives can be damaged by corrosion. Centrifugal magnetic pumps solve this problem by using magnetic force from outside the pipe, and use of materials like resin coatings minimizes corrosion which adds extra protection from leaks that protect the environment.

We can dramatically achieve cleaner, safer air for future generations. At CECO Environmental, we take pride in helping our customers solve new challenges and provide a more efficient supply chain that helps protect our shared environment.

At CECO Environmental, Earth Day is every day. 365/24/7.
