Cloud Chamber Scrubber Best Technology Available for Submicron Particulate ® POLLUTION allows the collection of samples documented as representative to be sent to the laboratory for analysis. These “samples of known importance” best characterize the nature and extent of site contamination” are sent to the laboratory for analysis and further tests. This is a new paradigm for environmental projects. YEARS OF S ESP • CCS treats PM1.0 submicron particulate, plus PM2.5, PM10 and condensables. • Simultaneously treats all soluble gases, including SO2, HCl, H2S, and ammonia compounds. • Low total energy use, less than 1.5 inches pressure drop. • Optional integrated SCR for NOx removal. • Large scale diesel, glass production, syn-gas cleaning, solid fuel combustion, many more uses. Broader sampling possible GLANZMAN: We also use XRF to test other media, such as stained walls and foundations, residential soils, vegetation and trees. Each of these media can be analyzed for their total concentration of COCs, such as vegetation for arsenic, mercury and antimony. Using XRF, we can analyze any site media. These analyses are then used to determine what needs remediation at a particular site. MultiPhase BioSystem for VOC Emissions Meets MACT standard for VOCs, including formaldehyde, methanol, terpenes, pinenes and others. Technologically superior to biofilters, biotricklers, and bioscrubbers. A better choice than expensive RTO thermal oxidation devices which have high operating costs. MultiPhase offers: ™ “ The FPXRF analyzer can be used to sample all the solid media: soils, stream sediments, coatings on large rocks and very coarse grained cobbles and boulders… RTO • Gas & liquid phase treatment integrated into one technology • Accepts high inlet temperatures (from dryers, for example) • Handles high particulate loads • Treats high VOC concentrations with high efficiency • Permanent ceramic media never needs replacing • No media bed clogging; automatically self-cleaning • Handles tars, waxes, heavy VOC compounds • Minimal waste generation; creates no NOx compounds • Smaller footprint, easier placement, shorter duct runs • Very low system pressure drop and operating costs ® Tri-Mer CORPORATION ® Soil samples typically have A, B and C layers. A is the organic horizon, usually fine-grain loam, but also can include peat. The B horizon is fine-grain soil. The C horizon is usually disaggregated and weathering bedrock. The COCs can have significantly different concentrations in each of these layers, which determine not only their nature and extent, but also their fate and transport. The FPXRF analyzer can be used to sample all the solid media: soils, stream sediments, coatings on large rocks and very coarse grained cobbles and boulders within stream sediments, foundations and structures within the site boundaries, vegetation and even trees. Samples can be sieved in the field to determine what grain sizes are most important in defining the nature and extent of each COC. The instrument allows real time documentation of COC concentrations in media that are difficult to sample. In other words, properly used, the FPXRF allows essentially a full documentation of the nature and extent of COCs while at the site during the first sampling event. As with any high technology tool, staff using the FPXRF needs training to use it correctly and effectively. ” New site screening methods AUTHORS: Can you expand on that point? GLANZMAN: The relatively new Triad approach recognizes and responds to some of the flaws in the earlier conventional approach, particularly when an FPXRF analyzer is introduced into Since 1960 (989) 723-7838 © 2008 Tri-Mer Corp.
