Low Styrene Content Resins · Styrene Suppressants · Controlled Spraying
Anguil is intimately familiar with the composites and carbon fiber industries and the issues associated with lowering styrene, Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN), Silicone and NOX emissions. Firms continue to battle emission levels by controlling/lowering styrene content in the resins they utilize. However, since styrene content affects product quality, fabricators are often limited in the extent to which they can utilize this method. Other methods such as styrene suppressants and controlled spraying are often examined. Anguil will make recommendations about airflow and styrene reduction strategies to make certain you are properly calculating your emissions.
The result will be air volume reduction and higher capture efficiency requiring a smaller oxidizer with lower operating costs. Once minimum air volumes are determined, Anguil can select the appropriate oxidation technology. In addition, if a 100% Permanent Total Enclosure (PTE) is installed, expensive VOC capture tests can be avoided. In the event that an extremely low VOC concentration condition exists, Anguil offers rotor concentrators that can be integrated with our oxidizers or retrofitted to your current oxidizer for the realization of further efficiencies.
Anguil's unsurpassed experience in both VOC capture and airflow reduction allows us to become the perfect industry partner. Because pollution control equipment is sized and costed based on the volume of treated air, Anguil's emissions experience is crucial. For instance, several boat manufacturers have installed highly efficient Anguil Catalytic Recuperative Oxidizers. For the high air volume, low concentration exhaust associated with many other composites manufacturers, a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) or Rotor Concentrator are often the technologies of choice. Trust Anguil to design the most cost-effective solution for your specific process.

Wind Turbine Manufacturer Implements Clean Air Initiative
When you think about generating electricity from wind, clean energy comes to mind. However, the wind turbine production process can be a major source of air pollution without the proper controls in place. Manufacturing and painting the blades, towers and nacelles requires composite construction material and solvent based coatings. The potential to emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) such as Xylene, Ethyl Benzene, Styrene and Phenol into the atmosphere is a major concern for communities and regulatory agencies.

Carbon Fiber Emission Control Strategies
Carbon fiber (fibre) and graphite reinforced polymers are materials that have, and will continue to revolutionize the products we use everyday by making them stronger, lighter and more durable. However, the manufacturing process can have serious environmental ramifications and immediate danger to human health if careful consideration is not given to emission control at the production phase of these materials.

Fiberglass Polymer Emissions: RTO Control Technology
A producer and supplier of corrosion resistant piping systems was looking to improve the reliability and lower operating expenses of an existing air pollution control system at their facility. During their manufacturing process, centrifugally cast mortar pipe systems are reinforced with a fiberglass polymer. This makes the pipe ideally suited for most corrosive piping applications but also produces a significant amount of styrene emissions that need to be destroyed. Plant personel knew that their existing 40,000 SCFM fixed-bed concentrator and catalytic oxidizer could not handle future expansion plans and the decision was made to look for a replacement.
