Manufacturer Reduces Heating Costs And Eliminates Air Pollutants

By Controlled Environment Equipment

A worldwide picture frame manufacturer was building a brand new facility to increase production and office space at their headquarters. Located in the scenic North woods of the Midwest meant environmental concerns were top priority when selecting the air pollution control system provider. Even though the Environmental Protection Agency did not require them to treat the 96 tons of Volatile Organic Compounds produced each year, the president insisted the pollution be controlled. When the picture frames are coated, the process omits lacquers and varnishes that might affect the environment around the plant, damaging the relationship between the manufacturer and its' neighbors. The goal was to find an air pollution control system that would eliminate the VOC's, particulate and odors at an affordable cost.

Controlled Environment Equipment was asked to provide a cost-effective air pollution control system and they did. Not only did the system that CES designed and installed control pollutants but the heat generated was used to heat the plant, significantly reducing energy costs.
