Of course, regular inspections and timely, proper maintenance are important. However, our #1 tip for “future-proofing” your equipment (and production line) these days is to upgrade aging control systems.
Gone are the days when you can afford to operate thermal oxidizers, scrubbers, and other process equipment with outdated or manual controls.
If your thermal oxidizer or scrubber relies on aging controls, you may soon be left behind.
The good news is that upgrading your industrial control system doesn’t have to break your budget. It doesn’t have to mean unplanned downtime, and it doesn’t have to put your data at risk.
At PolSys, we specialize in high-quality, cost-effective, secure control system upgrades for air pollution control equipment – in fact, no one in the industry has more experience with these types of control systems. We service all system makes and models, and our unique combination of experience gives our customers the critical edge they need for high uptime and market competitiveness today and in the future.
Take the first step with an evaluation of your system’s current controls. Let’s talk.
As an impartial service company that works on all makes and models of equipment, we’re often asked which manufacturer’s oxidizer system is “best.” The answer depends on several factors.
While each storm is unique, here are some fundamental steps based on FEMA guidelines that you can take to reduce risks of flooding, high winds, power outages, and other disruptions.
A major chemical manufacturer operating 24/7 faced frequent shutdowns due to a failing legacy control system on their Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO). These disruptions led to costly permit violations and production losses. To address these critical issues, we delivered a fast, customized control system upgrade that significantly improved reliability, compliance, and overall operational efficiency.
A global Fortune 100 automotive manufacturer faced major operational challenges due to outdated PLC and HMI hardware in their 4 Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs). These legacy systems not only risked future manufacturer support but also contributed to unplanned downtime and inefficiencies. Read how our turnkey control system upgrade delivered robust, reliable performance—minimizing downtime, improving responsiveness, and streamlining operations.
When a Fortune 100 engine manufacturing facility in the Southwest brought in PolSys for routine RTO and Zeolite Concentrator training, our field engineer uncovered critical system failures—including a plugged pressure transmitter and degraded components—that had gone unnoticed for months. This case study reveals how expert insight prevented costly downtime and restored regulatory compliance.
