How Mechanical Dust Collectors Help to Preserve Equipment

While mechanical dust collectors have a long history of use alongside biomass-fired boilers, their modern function has changed. Their primary function today is integration into air handling systems, where they function as a pre-cleaner to remove particles from flue gas. This helps to extend the life of pollution control equipment… Read More

3 Ways Multiclone Dust Collectors Boost Efficiency

Many plant managers often find themselves trying to keep emissions in check without cutting back on production, but the two aren’t always possible at the same time. Fortunately, with a multiclone dust collector, decreasing particulate emissions and maximizing production can be done simultaneously — saving plant managers money and keeping… Read More

Air Handling Efficiency Ratings: Defining Efficiency

In the industrial sector, it can feel like efficiency is the only thing we ever talk about. Obviously, it’s important — but in order to maximize the efficiency of our plants and our equipment, we must first understand the definition of efficiency for each piece of equipment, as well as… Read More

Dealing With Steam Turbine Damage Caused By Cycling

Combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plants in the U.S. have undergone several major changes in operating methodology over the past 20 years. Many of these changes – such as the shift to higher ramp rates – have been due to more competitive markets and market demand. For example, many… Read More
