Dust, Fume and Odour Control incorporated into one system.

In 2007 we were approached by Honda UK to design a system to remove the emissions generated by the sand moulding process within their engine casting plant. The problem with this process is it not only generates particulate emissions but it also emits odour which can be considered unpleasant.

The solution we developed incorporated a two stage filtration process; the first stage was designed to remove the particulates from the extracted air stream with the second stage designed to remove the odour.

The installed system which incorporates an initial reverse-jet dust filtration unit followed by a bespoke activated carbon odour absorption unit has now been in operation for over two years. During this time a regular emissions monitoring programme has confirmed that both particulate and odour emissions are well within the stringent conditions set by the Local Authority.
