Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) control industrial emissions from operational processes at significantly lower operating costs compared to other technologies, such as recuperative thermal oxidizers and fume incinerators, in today’s market. To ensure the best performance of your RTOs, required inspections, preventative maintenance, repairs, and equipment upgrades are essential to ensure
In late January, PolSys Services had their joint holiday party with Pollution Systems. Sure, it maybe a little belated but we like to ensure our field employees who are typically onsite during the holiday seasons have a chance to celebrate, too! Personalized gifts were handed out as our team enjoyed
Use Downtime to Stay Up to Date on Thermal Oxidizer Maintenance and Industrial Controls Why not use the unplanned downtime to complete maintenance or perform upgrades? As operations seem to be in a constant state of motion, shutdowns are typically your best bet in getting in the required maintenance done
In response to growing demand for its technical services abroad, PolSys Services is excited to announce that we have partnered with Dysehs S.A. de C.V., a leading provider of environmental, health and safety (EH&S) solutions in Mexico and Latin America. The relationship is devoted to meeting the need for providing expert air
What is the Best Make and Model of Thermal Oxidizer? (2021) As an impartial service company that works on all makes and models of air pollution control equipment, we’re often asked which manufacturer’s oxidizer system is “best.” The answer depends on a number of factors. Unfortunately, too many thermal oxidizer manufacturers
Is Your Burner Safe this Summer? Summer is here - and for many facilities, that means planned downtime. Now may be the perfect time to schedule an NFPA-compliant safety testing of your facility's burners/gas trains. Annual safety tests are often required by insurance companies, national/local codes, and corporate policy. When performed
RTOs (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers) are popular in a range of industries, but aren’t always well understood by operators and maintenance staff. It’s not uncommon for maintenance teams to have to spend so much of their time focusing on production equipment that onsite air pollution control systems become almost an afterthought.
Our Tip: Upgrade Your Oxidizer's Control System. Customers often ask us, "What can we do to help our air pollution control equipment operate more reliably for better production uptime in the future?" Of course, regular inspections and timely, proper maintenance are key activities. However, our #1 tip for "future-proofing" your equipment
The Presenting Problem When a large engine manufacturing facility in the Southwest called PolSys to train their team on the operation of their Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) and Zeolite Concentrator, they learned much more than they expected. During this onsite training, our Sr. Field Engineer discovered serious deficiencies in the system,
It has been said that the heart of every thermal process is a fuel-train system (valve safety train). And like with a heart, when a valve safety train is not properly attended to, the results can be tragic. So why are fuel-train systems so often misunderstood, under-inspected, or even overlooked
