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
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,
As a company based in the Gulf Coast, we know that recovery after a hurricane (or any natural disaster) can be extremely challenging. Below are a few important reminders to help minimize health and environmental dangers if you and/or your facility were in Hurricane Laura's path: Report suspected spills, contamination, and/or
We're excited to announce a key addition to our growing Operations team! This summer, Chad Bloecher joined PolSys as a Field Service Engineer. This position is highly responsive to the needs of customers in performing a variety of duties including installing, configuring, troubleshooting, and servicing pollution control equipment and other
As always, safety is our top priority. We are committed to helping you achieve your production goals, especially during this difficult time. In response to the pandemic, we've instituted a number of steps to ensure we limit exposure of the COVID-19 virus to our customers, employees, suppliers, partners, and communities.
If you're like many manufacturing engineers today, you may think the legacy controls on your air pollution control equipment are working well enough. But is production output as good as it could be if the reliability of your oxidizer or scrubber were increased? And what about other key decision factors
A large chemical manufacturing company with continuous operations called us to increase the reliability of their thermal oxidizer by upgrading their legacy control system to a newer, more robust platform. In addition to operating the oxidizer reliably and efficienctly, the new control system had to provide alarm notification and annunciation, maintain
The last thing any manufacturer needs is for a production line to go down thanks to something as mundane as a clogged filter causing a panel to overheat and shut off a VFD. A good way to prevent this is to have your control system inspected by an experienced professional
When budgets are tight, it can be tempting to repair aging industrial controls instead of upgrading them to today's robust systems. However, not upgrading your system can be more costly in other ways. When your control system is decades old, you can lose thousands of dollars in lost productivity, unnecessary
